How did you hear about Parfumo?

I'm really curious. Speak up!

I was cruising post in Basenotes when someone made mention to Parfumo International. I took a closer look and found that the perfume directory here was much more complete and more comprehensive. I thought it was worth a try.

Same here. I believe the directory is superior and the site needs some time to develop.

Facebook

oh well this is a possibility I never considered since I don't use community sites like that *ha*

I also got the tip from friends on the facebook-fume groups

Sherapop posted it on one of the groups on Facebook. Cheers!

Found a link in a post on Fragrantica's forum... I was really impressed with this site so I registered immediately.

sherepop posted! <3 that gal!

I cannot lie, it was via Facebook.

Thanks to Sherapop.

Now I have found the perfect perfume site and I'm surrounded with amazingly friendly perfume lovers. BRILLIANT!

Sherapop on Facebook too

Sherapop's post in our Facebook group, of course!

I'm an avid reader of the German parfumo, so it would have been difficult not to know there was an international site now as well. And as I'm curious I had to have a peek or two... or maybe a dozen?!

Someone mentioned it in a post on Basenotes.

On three separate occasions during the past month while searching for reviews, I came across this excellent site and then decided to join.

What is happening though is that not many people notice www.parfumo.com nor the excellent reviews that are published here. The website gets lost in the depths of a Google.com search.

Yesterday, I asked about that on the German site, www.parfumo.de, concerning a strong review of Decennial - Lys du Desert. Apicius and DonVanVliet suggested the German Google, www.google.de and sure enough, what I was looking for showed up on the first page.

Thus, as visibility depends on many hits (visits), the Administrators suggested to mention Parfumo.net with a link when owners of a private blogsite have an occasion to write about the happenings in the perfume world and Parfumo.

Here is the whole conversation (in German):

Raising my hand.

Just for kicks, I searched a few perfume in the Basenotes Fragrance Directory that were missing well over a year ago. Guess what, they are still missing. Some of these perfumes were issued well over five years ago. I'm not sure to why their directory is so out of date.

I'm quite happy here at Parfumo International.

p.s. Sorry for the smiley face, Apicius.

I, like many others saw a post about the site on Basenotes.

Saw it on Basenotes but joined after I got an invite from one of the Mods.

Parfumo will be the most concise and intelligent location to gather fragrance information not far into the future.

This is not a knock on the other 2 big sites. Hell, I loved Basenotes for awhile, but things change.

Take a good look at the reviews and compare them to other sites. You can see rather plainly the pattern that's developing and the effort by reviewers here as opposed to xyz and abc.

Just as important, look at the lack of arrogance in our forums. Yes, the community will become larger and numerous "personalities" may emerge from that, but that said, the members here now are the most awesome and mannerly that I've had the pleasure to interact with.
