#basenotes
We're actually SUPER active in the broader indie perfume community! We've even got ultra-rare materials and Schiffs bases produced by other small fragrance houses and routinely do analysis of weird smells for other indies.

Are you on the Discord that spun off from Basenotes? Send me a DM!

it won't disrupt fragrantica (yuck) or parfumo / basenotes, this is literally just a small thing that meets my use case

Vaya usted a saber lo que hay en los frascos! (Si es comercial) Puedes buscar en Basenotes o similares a ver que lleva la fragancia de la que tienes frasco , igual lleva jazmín tambien.

My nose don’t know.

Tobacco Vanilla:

Top notes: Tobacco, spices

I got vanilla, maybe cinnamon. I’d label this a gourmand which it is not. Manufacuter has as “Oriental”.

Middle note is vanilla which I got. No cinnamon unless that count as “spices.”

Basenotes are dried fruits & woodsy notes /

My uneducated nose:

Paris Nocturne

Top notes: Strawberry, raspberry, pear, orange, tangerine, bergamont, watermelon, ketone

All I got was “herbal”. Labeled Chypre, so citrus to moss. Have to admit just not a fragrance I’m familiar with. The scents basenotes are cedar & oakmoss. My “herbal” - 1

Nectar Water

Top notes: Ginger & rose

My nose quivered. Kept thinking “woody” and “beautiful”’

Basenotes here are Osmanthus which is indeed one of the most delightful things you’ll ever smell. I had a few of the plants but killed them like I always do. To replace? Dunno. - 2

Yeah those are the basenotes for sure. Feeling there's gotta be top notes of medical ointment and drift wood

Cherry Whispers

Sour Cherry, raspberry, mandarin

Got cherries out the gate, vanilla (it has), then “warm.” Basenotes have oak & musk

Crisp Zenith

Top notes: cucumber, red apple

Got immediate “crisp”. I also got lavender (middle note), “warm”, Base note is musk

Hey I’m no Grasse girl.

Blue Ember

Top notes: Grapefruit, lemon, mint, pink pepper

Nope. The basenotes are cedar and sandalwood, which I got as “woody”

Amber isn't one note, it's a whole family — warm, resinous, and the reason so many signature scents feel unmistakably 'you' by the end of the day. #CacheFragrance #Amber #BaseNotes

On Basenotes: "I am too old for this shit..."

Plus, their ad campaign is ai slop.

Base notes like musk and amber aren't just there for depth — they're the reason a fragrance still smells like you eight hours later. #CacheFragrance #BaseNotes #Longevity

Hi Basenotes, have you had a chance to try this yet? My readers are always keen to find out about 'affordable and good' fragrances, so I'll keep it on the bargain radar.

Try Basenotes, it’s much more elegant in design and UX and the reviews are better.

Basenotes has amazing perfume databases and reviews and message boards without the MAGA baggage.

It’s *run* by MAGAs. I personally use basenotes.

A friendly reminder that Fragrantica is a maga site and that you can enable your perfume addiction at Basenotes or Parfumo instead and not be enriching bigots. #PerfumeSky
finally found something to cut out of my life after The Incident

Basenotes is 1000x better, actual grownups reviewing things. And no MAGA owners.
September 16, 2025 at 2:02 PM
I dont think there is an app, but Basenotes is a delight.
September 1, 2025 at 10:49 PM
Basenotes?
July 9, 2025 at 8:39 PM
The owners are also super homophobic and teansphobic. I have no idea why any perfume fan is on there instead of Parfumo or Basenotes.

I personally use Basenotes, there’s another databases focused site but I can’t remember the name right now.
