Notes, perfumers and fragrances

Three pages help you look up what is inside a bottle and who made it. Each one says Powered by Sniffopotamus, because the paintings, words and perfume details come from Sniffopotamus. None of them shows pictures of bottles.

Notes / Accords​

Open Notes / Accords (/notes, also in the menu) to see every note and accord Sniffopotamus knows, in A to Z order, with how many there are at the top.

  • Search by name, for example vetiver or sea salt.
  • All, Notes, Accords narrows the list. Notes and accords are kept in one list on purpose, so you never have to guess which one something is.
  • Tap a letter to jump to it, or choose Most bottles to put the notes in the most bottles listed on ScentSell first.
  • Each card shows the note's painting (where Sniffopotamus has one), whether it is a note or an accord, a short line on how it is used, and how many listed bottles carry it (when any do).
  • Open a card to see the note's own page and the bottles for sale that carry it. A note no listed bottle carries yet still shows its name, painting and words.

Perfumers​

Open Perfumers (/perfumers) to see the perfumers behind the bottles members are selling, in A to Z order. Tap a letter to jump to it, or choose Most bottles to put the perfumers with the most listed bottles first. Search by name and open one to see every bottle of theirs on ScentSell. Perfumer stories and portraits are not shown yet, because Sniffopotamus does not have them to give.

Fragrances​

Open Fragrances (/fragrances) and type at least three letters of a perfume's name or its house. Each result shows the house, the name, the strength and the year. Choose one to open the marketplace searched for it and see whether a member is selling one. If Sniffopotamus does not answer straight away, the page says Search is taking a moment with a Try again button. The same line shows if one connection asks for a great many pages or searches in a short time, which keeps the lists from being copied wholesale.

When something is missing​

If a note has no painting or no words yet, the page shows only what is known. Nothing is made up. When you open one of these, Sniffopotamus is told so it can fill the gap.

Finding your way back​

Each of these pages shows where it sits under the header, starting at Home, for example Home › Notes / Accords › Rose. Tap any step to go back to it, or tap the ScentSell logo to go home.

"Sign in to see more"​

To stop programs copying these lists in bulk, ScentSell sometimes asks visitors who are not signed in to sign in before searching or paging further. Any single note, perfumer or bottle page, and the first page of each list, always opens. If you see "Sign in to see more of this list", sign in (it is free) and carry on; members are not held back.
