About Identifrag
Find a fragrance you love. Explore its comparisons.
Identifrag is an editorial directory of fragrance comparisons. Each page connects a familiar perfume to fragrances with related scent characteristics, explains their shared notes and differences, and, where we have them, links to buy in your country. Browse freely; you don’t need an account.
How it works
Start with a fragrance you already know. Search for it by name or a common abbreviation, or browse by brand, and check the concentration: an eau de toilette and an eau de parfum of the same name can smell and wear quite differently.
Each fragrance has its own page with links to its comparisons, notes on how each pair compares, their accord profiles side by side and how they are reported to wear. Set your delivery country to see buying links for that destination. The purchase itself happens with the retailer, who handles payment, delivery and returns.
Reading a comparison
A comparison describes two specific releases. We draw on published product information and community fragrance reports, and describe their recorded notes, accords and wear.
What comparisons show
Each pair shows recorded notes, accords and estimated wear for the two fragrances.
Accord scores and performance
Accord scores show how prominent a characteristic is, from a background trace to a defining feature. They are not customer ratings or percentage matches. Longevity and projection summarise reported wear and are editorial estimates. A profile’s review date refers to that assessment, not to a fresh check of the product or its buying links.
Recommended comparisons
An editor awards the Recommended badge to a specific comparison and states the reason alongside it. A higher place in a list, a buying link or a commission never earns one.
Scent and performance vary with skin, application and formulation, so a similar profile is not a promise of an identical experience. Read the comparison and performance notes together and, where you can, try a sample before buying a full bottle.
Buying links & funding
What a verified link means
Our staff have checked the retailer and approved the link as trusted, including where it delivers. Coverage varies from country to country, so choose your delivery country to see the links that apply to you.
Links marked “not yet verified” haven’t been through that check, so confirm the listing and delivery with the retailer. An “Official store” badge means the link goes to the brand’s own shop.
How Identifrag is funded
Affiliate commissions fund Identifrag. Some buying links are affiliate links: if you buy through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Earning a commission never makes a link verified.
What commissions never decide
Commissions don’t decide which fragrances we include, how we describe or rate them, or which comparisons are Recommended. A fragrance doesn’t need an affiliate link to be listed, and we don’t adjust comparisons to favour affiliate partners.
Questions
Has Identifrag tested every fragrance itself?
No. We don’t claim first-hand wear testing of every fragrance. Performance notes summarise the evidence behind our editorial estimates; treat them as guidance rather than a personal wear test.
Why are there no buying links for my country?
Check that the delivery country in the navigation is right. If no links are listed, we don’t yet have a buying link for that destination. Some fragrances are listed for comparison only and have no buying links in any country. Confirm delivery with any retailer before ordering.
Are prices and availability live?
No. Each price shows the date we checked it. The retailer confirms the final price, stock and delivery at checkout.
Can I buy fragrances directly from Identifrag?
No. Buying links take you to the retailer, where you complete your purchase. The retailer handles payment, delivery and returns.
