Shopping for a new fragrance is both fun and frustrating. Sometimes I feel like I have two choices: stand in front of the shelves of Sephora (or where ever you shop) and sniff samples until my head aches. Or, shop online from the comfort of home and try to decipher the perfume descriptions so I can tell if I like something before I buy it. But who knows what a combination of a “juicy bergamot,” a “mossy oak” and a “dewy white floral” really smells like??
Well, if you’ve had this problem, here’s a beauty science solution that can help: an iPhone app that keeps track of the kind of fragrances that you know you like. When you’re in the mood to buy a new perfume it searches a database of 4,000 fine fragrances for similar scents that fit your taste.
iPerfumer is available from the Itunes Apps store but you can read all about it at Cosmetic Design. If you click the link above and buy the App through our site, you’re supporting the Beauty Brains. Thank you!!!

I am annoyed with this app. I downloaded it like a week ago. The search engine part does not work well. For instance you can search Britney Spears and you will only get three of her several fragrances but if you search for the fragrance name alone, sometimes it will come up. Also I added several of the fragrances I like and I rated them. However, it is then supposed to recommend fragrances for you and every time it is supposed to recommend something, the app shuts down. The concept is nice but it needs to be improved. Grrr….
It’s amazing how many apps have been created for all of our beauty needs. There’s even an app for acne!! Find out more from this awesome article about the AcneApp:
