Banned brand research submissions
by Franfan20 | Parfumo Research
...Paris Corner was on the previous banned brand list posted on the forum. It appears it was not correctly migrated to the new list. I added it again now.No new DUA dupes are listed for approx. 3 years now. The clean up of the maintained data can happen any time.

New suggestions - how do I do it right?
by Franfan20 | Parfumo Research
...The general rule:Over time, we have discovered that much information is lost over time as sources are deleted, moved, or updated. In order to avoid unnecessary corrections and to be able to better classify necessary corrections, we would like to point out the following.Please record the information from your sources either visually (as a screenshot) or in writing as a text copy (in the source field). This applies to any evidence of fragrance notes, perfumers, years of release, limitations, bottle designers, etc.If the brand website is used, the original language of the relevant brand must be used to correctly evaluate the sources in order to exclude translation errors. Therefore, only use languages that you can handle yourself. This is particularly important for fragrance notes.If you receive a follow-up notification, please review what needs to be done with your submission in order to correctly verify it.What else needs to be taken into account?Banned brandsIf you are not sure whether a new brand will even be listed, please look here:https://www.parfumo.com/fdb_he...This helps avoid unnecessary work.SourcesIt is absolutely necessary to find sufficient sources for any information. Information that is based only on one source - which may not be particularly informative - is less trustworthy.TrustworthyThe best and most trustworthy option is usually to provide information from the manufacturer itself. The official PR pages that post news should also be consulted here.Not trustworthyPerfumeintelligence and Fragrantica as the sole source are not trustworthy as they often contain errors that we are reluctant to adopt. Price comparison sites or other shops are also not very trustworthy, at least for scent pyramids.

by Franfan20 | Parfumo Research
...If there is any addition that can be made to at least one of the brand names in order to distinguish both brands, we should be fine.We had the same issue for Memo as an example (both used in France and the Phillipines).

2 active perfumes by same house with exact same notes
by Franfan20 | Parfumo Research
...HatkaIf there is a product, which is in two versions: limited and unlimited, with the same notes, but in two different bottles of different capacity - should it be added as a new entry (in the database there is only one version)? No, we don't distinguish between different bottle sizes.

Is there a specific reason?Like FranFan20 said, there's the issue of envy and dispute. (Yes, there is an echo here!) Let's say I like one of your reviews but I don't give a 'thumbs up' to... have to be assumed the names of people who vote negatively will be revealed, right? Again, how do you think this will play out?I agree, again, with FranFan20--reach out to others who have spoken favorably about a scent you enjoy.

Sources - The following websites require special attention
by Franfan20 | Parfumo Research
...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.
