Perfumes by note

The most common notes in the Scento catalogue, each with the perfumes that feature it.

How the finder works

The finder reads the notes listed on each Scento perfume page and shows only perfumes you can buy as a decant today.

A perfume appears only when it contains every note you picked. If you choose a place in the perfume (top, heart or base), each picked note must sit there.

Top notes are the first impression and fade within minutes, heart notes shape the perfume for the next hours, and base notes stay on skin the longest.

Perfumes are ordered by how popular they are with Scento shoppers right now.

Frequently asked questions

How does the perfume notes finder work?

Choose up to three notes and, if you like, where they sit in the perfume and who it is for. The finder lists every Scento perfume that contains all of your notes.

What are top, heart and base notes?

Top notes are what you smell first and they fade fastest. Heart notes form the body of the perfume once the top settles. Base notes linger longest and give the lasting dry-down.

Can I search for more than one note at once?

Yes, up to three. A perfume is listed only if it has all of them, so every note you add narrows the list.

Where do the notes come from?

From the notes listed on each perfume's page at Scento. Open any result to see its full set of notes, its longevity and its projection.

Can I try a perfume before buying a bigger size?

Yes. Every perfume listed can be bought as a small decant, so you can wear it for a few days before choosing a bigger size.
