Free is a map. Paid is the reading.

The Free version of Parfuses gives you the breadth — a quiz that takes about three minutes, six perfumes that lean toward your profile, multi-retailer price comparison (rolling out as our affiliate partners come online), and a saved profile + collection you can return to.

If your taste in fragrance is already settled and you just want to see what fits, free is enough.

Where Free gives you the map, Monthly gives you the reading. The same 1-quiz-every-3-days cadence as Free — but each month you also unlock a Premium Report with three hand-picked bottles, match scores that tell you how close each is to the ideal you described, and wear guidance that says when each is going to be at its best.

It also includes a ‘what to skip’ section — currently popular bottles we don't recommend for your profile, with the reason. That's the part that's hardest to find elsewhere, and the part that pays for itself the first time it stops you from buying a wrong €180 bottle.

Parfuses earns through three streams:

1. Affiliate commissions when you click through to a partnered retailer and complete a purchase. Amazon is live today; five additional European retailers (Parfumdreams, Flaconi, Notino, Douglas, Deloox) are in onboarding. Commission rates vary (4–12%) and we don't favor higher-commission retailers in the recommendation order.
2. Direct payments for Monthly (€8.99/mo, recurring) and Annual (€49.99/yr, one payment — most popular).
3. Anonymized aggregate data — eventually, in 18+ months — for retailers who want to understand category-level taste trends. Never user-level. Never with personal identifiers.

What we don't do: take payments for placement, take influencer endorsement money, take exclusivity deals from retailers, sell user data.
