Code of Conduct for Perfumers, Sales Reps, Professionals

Code of Conduct for Perfumers, Sales Reps, Professionals 11 years ago

The following notes are relevant especially for members with a professional background in the fragrance industry. Please take a moment to read them before you start any activity on Parfumo.

Parfumo members are not allowed to advertise in any form without explicit consent of the webmaster. This includes publishing of any promotional material as perfume review. Equally, promoting one's own products in the forum or as a blog post for the sole purpose of advertising is not permitted. Please feel free to get in touch with us if you are unsure whether or not a text you wish to contribute would violate this rule.

In general, we recommend anyone with a professional background in the fragrance industry make her/his identity and profession known to the community. For this purpose, our introduction thread may be useful. In doing so, you avoid any misunderstanding that might impact your personal reputation or that of your business in a negative way.

Every Parfumo user is granted one account only. Multiple accounts are not allowed. Hence, utilising multiple accounts for manipulative activities such as bumping up your product ratings, are monitored and result in immediate deletion of all your accounts.

Please be fair, in your own interest. The Parfumo community is very sensitive towards any form of unauthorised advertising. Not only will it lead to exclusion from Parfumo, but may also impact your reputation and that of your products. Our community does not appreciate such behaviour and tends to penalise it by discussing it openly.

Feel free to make good use of Parfumo:

Get involved in discussions on Parfumo. Your expertise, know-how and passion for perfume is welcome! Valuable and carefully thought out contributions speak for themselves and will earn you respect, appreciation and sympathy from the Parfumo community. Here, this is the best recommendation and promotion you can aim for.

Let your perfumes speak for you! As a perfumer, an official of a perfume brand or owner of a fragrance shop you can, for instance, use the sub-forum “Decants & Samples - Buy, Sell, Swap, Giveaway” for a sample giveaway, perhaps combined with the request for a review in return.

Opinions about perfume are highly individual and tend to be subjective. Parfumo appreciates freedom of speech, thus positive and negative evaluations are equally welcome. Please refrain from offering perfume samples on Parfumo if you are not positive about the quality of your product, or if you cannot tolerate possible negative critique.

Occasionally, Parfumo conducts games with prizes to win which have been made available by our partners. Please get into touch with us if you wish to ustilise this way of introducing your brand or products.

Thank you!
