What makes similar fragrances smell different?
I can't tell--words like "jammy", "aldehylic", and "juicy" aren't good reference points. Individual "if you like [x], try [y]" suggestions are helpful but misguided--fragrance is personally subjective on a metric of mood, imagery, and note accords.
This project aims to resolve this gap by creating a small-scale visualization of rose-forward fragrances, combining together chemical composition and text-based reviews from perfume aggregation websites to more accurately describe non-subjective essences of commercial fragrances. Users are able to find similar perfumes based on matching user descriptions and chemical data, or construct fragrance through ideal fragrance accords and moodboards: to more accurately embed perfume relationality beyond what English can provide.
