And should NOT be used in general or need further sources to verify the information stated.

- Perfume48horas: Please do not use this website as a source. It is full of errors and wrong content.

- Notino and all of its siblings: Do not use this website for notes and years. It is also full of errors and wrong content.

- Oriental Style: This website lists multiple arabian scents that are not on the respective websites of the brands they are attached to. So please evaluate carefully before submitting wrong content. Also do not use it for notes in general (unless it is their own Oriental Style brand you are submitting).

- Fragrantica: NEVER base a submission on fragrantica alone, unless there is proof they are using the official press material as a source. There are too many errors in their database (years, notes). [apparently they use 'fake' notes aka paper towns on purpose to find out who is stealing their content.] Please do not base any revisions for notes and release years on Fragrantica. If you use fragrantica make sure you find official sources that support the statements made there.

- Luckyscent: Sometimes Luckyscent has errors when it comes to release years and perfumers. Please evaluate carefully.

- Perfume Intelligence: Is full of errors and has wrong dates and years. Most years are estimated only (in italic). They even wrongly list products as perfumes which are none. Only use it as a reference, but please never solely on anything.

Thank you.

I would also like to add these sites, based on certain entries that have proven to be unreliable.
Please do not use them as primary sources for quintessential information e.g. release date, perfumer, fragrance notes etc.
They may contain the same errors as their undisclosed sources.
