An AI perfume advisor that explains every match.
A perfume advisor is a guide that learns your taste and recommends fragrances you are likely to love, with a reason attached to every suggestion. Fragnatique brings that role to your phone: an AI perfume advisor for iOS that builds your profile from a twelve-question quiz, an optional photo, and the fragrances you already like, then scores 3,000 fragrances and writes a plain-language explanation for each match.
Four jobs, done for you.
A recommendation is only the visible part of the work. Behind it, a real advisor profiles you, weighs candidates, defends its picks, and stays available for the next question.
The advisor starts with a twelve-question profile that reads across all eight fragrance families, and it keeps learning from every fragrance you like. You can also add a photo, which vision-language AI turns into a three-layer style analysis and a named archetype. Photos are processed in real time and never stored.
Each session returns forty to fifty ranked fragrances, and every one carries a personal compatibility percentage measured against a database of 3,000 fragrances mapped across more than 680 notes. You see how strong a match is before you spend anything on a sample.
A written paragraph answers the question of why this perfume for every match, naming the notes that align with your profile, the occasions that suit the scent, and how it differs from the bottles you already own. If the reasoning sounds wrong, you can disagree with it, which is exactly the point.
An AI chatbot advisor answers open questions, from what to wear to a formal dinner to which scent suits a cool autumn evening. The Perfume Cabinet's Daily Pick goes further, reading the season, the time of day, and the weather to choose from the bottles you own and explain the choice.
Advice you can read, weigh, and argue with.
Most recommendation tools hand you a name and expect trust. Fragnatique treats every suggestion as a claim it has to defend, so each layer of the advisor produces evidence you can inspect.
Every fragrance is rated as a personal compatibility percentage built from your quiz answers, your liked fragrances, and your photo analysis, so the strength of a match is visible at a glance.
A short paragraph names the specific notes, occasions, and contrasts behind the score, turning a bare number into an argument you can actually evaluate.
Recommendations draw on 3,000 fragrances decomposed into top, heart, and base notes across eight families, with a six-axis accord radar covering woody, fresh, sweet, earthy, fruity, and green.
The database covers mainstream houses and niche perfumery alike, and coverage of niche houses is usually the best single test of an advisor’s depth.
An advisor for the store, the room, and the shelf.
Point the camera at a bottle in a store and the premium scanner identifies it against the cached database, then surfaces its notes pyramid, season, longevity, sillage, and your personal match score, all without a connection.
Photograph a room and Ambient Scent reads its light, materials, and palette, then curates the fragrances that belong in that space, presented as a short scent editorial rather than a flat list.
The Perfume Cabinet keeps your collection in one place, logs every wear in a Scent Journal, and maps the strengths and gaps across what you own, so the next purchase fills a real gap instead of repeating one.
Frequently asked
- What is a perfume advisor?
- A perfume advisor is a person or a digital tool that recommends fragrances based on your taste, the notes you already like, and how you live. A human advisor does this at a counter from experience; an AI perfume advisor does it from a structured database, which means it can compare thousands of fragrances at once and explain each recommendation in writing. Fragnatique is the second kind, built for iPhone.
- What do you call someone who specialises in perfume?
- Someone who composes fragrances professionally is a perfumer, often called a nose. Someone who helps other people choose a fragrance is a fragrance consultant or perfume advisor, a role usually found at a counter or inside a house's client team. The two are different jobs: the perfumer builds the scent, the advisor matches an existing scent to a person.
- What does a perfume consultant do?
- A perfume consultant asks what you already wear, what you liked and disliked about it, and what you need the fragrance for, then narrows a shelf of hundreds down to a few worth testing on skin. The value is the narrowing and the reasoning behind it. Fragnatique performs the same steps from a twelve-question profile and a database of 3,000 fragrances, and writes out the reasoning so you can judge it yourself.
- What does an AI perfume advisor actually do?
- An AI perfume advisor learns your taste, scores fragrances against it, and explains its recommendations. Fragnatique does this with a twelve-question profile, optional photo style analysis, and a database of 3,000 fragrances, returning forty to fifty ranked matches per session with a written reason attached to each one.
- Is the Fragnatique perfume advisor free?
- Yes. Fragnatique is a free download on the App Store, and the free tier includes the match score, the photo style analysis, the chatbot advisor, the Olfactory Atlas note explorer, and the journal. A premium subscription, billed through the App Store, unlocks the offline bottle scanner and the full Scent Lab with its manufacturing PDF export.
- What information does the advisor need from me?
- A twelve-question taste quiz is enough to start, and it takes about three minutes. You can sharpen the profile by liking fragrances you know and by adding a photo for style analysis. Photos are processed in real time and never stored, and the photo step is optional rather than required.
- How is an AI perfume advisor different from a perfume quiz?
- A quiz is a single snapshot that ends when you answer the last question. An advisor keeps working after the first result. Fragnatique updates your profile as you like fragrances, answers follow-up questions through its chatbot, picks a bottle from your own cabinet each day based on season, time, and weather, and explains every recommendation in writing so you can judge it.
- Which devices does the Fragnatique advisor run on?
- Fragnatique runs on iPhone with iOS 16 or later and supports 28 languages. There is currently no Android app. The marketing site and the journal at fragnatique.app are readable from any modern browser.
- Can the advisor help me create a perfume as well as choose one?
- Yes, through the Scent Lab, a premium feature. An AI-guided flow of fourteen steps takes a composition from first idea to finished formula, checks it against IFRA Amendment 51, generates an allergen declaration, predicts how the scent will age over ninety days, and exports a five-page manufacturing PDF with the full recipe and a cost breakdown from batch to retail.
- Who makes the Fragnatique perfume advisor?
- Fragnatique is built by Appthos Studio OÜ, a company founded in 2025 and based at Paavli 5a-1, 10412 Tallinn, Estonia. Ömer Kadir Kurt, the founder and CEO, wrote the matching algorithm and the Scent Graph the advisor scores against, and Erdinç Karabekir, the co-founder and CMO, is a practising EU business attorney who owns brand and partnerships. Fragnatique was selected on 8 May 2026 for the thirteenth cohort of the Tehnopol Startup accelerator, one of nine companies chosen from 97 applicants.
- Does the Fragnatique advisor cover niche perfume houses?
- Yes. The Fragnatique database spans designer and niche perfumery, including Creed, Tom Ford, Maison Francis Kurkdjian, Byredo, Diptyque, Penhaligon's, Mancera, Initio, Le Labo, Parfums de Marly, Xerjoff, and Amouage. Depth of niche coverage is the single most useful test of any AI perfume advisor, because a recommender that only knows department-store pillars will keep returning the same twenty bottles to everyone who asks.
- What happens to the photo I upload to the perfume advisor?
- Photos uploaded for style analysis are processed in real time and never stored. The vision-language layer reads palette, fabric, posture, and setting, returns a three-layer written analysis with a named style archetype, and passes that signal to the match engine. The photo step is optional, and the twelve-question quiz on its own is enough to produce a full set of matches.
