Guidance requested on contacting brands for additional info

Parfumo Research
... In general, we would expect users to properly review the guidelines/knowledge base section before submitting, so they are aware what is needed. It is correct that the documentation was not properly executed. Possible remarks left in submissions should also be reviewed, in case more action is needed on the submitter's behalf. However, Parfumo reserves the right to reject individual suggestions without giving reasons. This particularly applies if certain previously rejected information is submitted repeatedly.

... DaisyThorn Example 2: I noticed this book on Amazon: The Ghost Perfumer: Creed, Lies, & the Scent of the Century, by Gabe Oppenheim, ISBN 9798786729215. I haven't read it, but the description suggests that some Creed perfumes were created by an uncredited perfumer, whom the author identifies. Would this kind of book be a credible source? To answer this question: No, it would not be a credible source since this is no official brand / perfume company source (or a press outlet source that receives the information from the respective brands). If the brand itself - for whatever reason - is unwilling to reveal certain perfumers, we won't rely on unauthorized third party sources where we don't know their original sources even.

Sources - The following websites require special attention

Parfumo Research
... ssydlo Can ifragranceofficial.com be trusted? Here is their About Us page . Would be useful since many middle eastern brands don’t have their own websites and sell almost exclusively through retailers. Ifragranceofficial, ScentAdvice as well as other sites that try to establish an encyclopedia of fragrances are not considered by us as their sources are unknown. Most of these sites just hunt for leaks to be able to list new products early on, not caring about accuracy of info in the sources, about product listings getting taken down again, press embargoes or whatever instance may cause a brand / parent company to take action against an early release of a certain scent. So the error rate is higher here as well.

... EvitaVilla What about Wikiparfum? Wikiparfum is not to be used as a primary source for release years, fragrance notes and perfumers. The origin of information on this page is unknown and can't be considered correct, unless further sources support the statements made. The page is apparently run by Puig, but this doesn't automatically mean the information for products from brands not owned by Puig is reliable. There are instances where the information for Puig owned brands also doesn't match the display on the brand websites, so this source needs to be dealt with accurately and critically.

... Paris Corner was on the previous banned brand list posted on the forum. It appears it was not correctly migrated to the new list. I added it again now. No new DUA dupes are listed for approx. 3 years now. The clean up of the maintained data can happen any time.

New suggestions - how do I do it right?

Parfumo Research
... The general rule: Over time, we have discovered that much information is lost over time as sources are deleted, moved, or updated. In order to avoid unnecessary corrections and to be able to better classify necessary corrections, we would like to point out the following. Please record the information from your sources either visually (as a screenshot) or in writing as a text copy (in the source field). This applies to any evidence of fragrance notes, perfumers, years of release, limitations, bottle designers, etc. If the brand website is used, the original language of the relevant brand must be used to correctly evaluate the sources in order to exclude translation errors. Therefore, only use languages that you can handle yourself. This is particularly important for fragrance notes. If you receive a follow-up notification, please review what needs to be done with your submission in order to correctly verify it. What else needs to be taken into account? Banned brands If you are not sure whether a new brand will even be listed, please look here: https://www.parfumo.com/fdb_he. .. This helps avoid unnecessary work. Sources It is absolutely necessary to find sufficient sources for any information. Information that is based only on one source - which may not be particularly informative - is less trustworthy. Trustworthy The best and most trustworthy option is usually to provide information from the manufacturer itself. The official PR pages that post news should also be consulted here. Not trustworthy Perfumeintelligence, Scentadvice, Ifragrance and Fragrantica as the sole source are not trustworthy as they often contain errors that we are reluctant to adopt. Price comparison sites or other shops are also not very trustworthy, at least for scent pyramids.

... If there is any addition that can be made to at least one of the brand names in order to distinguish both brands, we should be fine. We had the same issue for Memo as an example (both used in France and the Phillipines).

... Hatka If there is a product, which is in two versions: limited and unlimited, with the same notes, but in two different bottles of different capacity - should it be added as a new entry (in the database there is only one version)? No, we don't distinguish between different bottle sizes.

...The following fragrances will be marked in the data base as "unknown brand" from now on due to legal issues between the two brands mentioned in the subject header. "Mood Indigo", "La Haine", "Love Exposure", "Daisies", "Enter the Void", "The Duke of Burgundy" , "Blow-Up", "The Virgins / The Virgin Suicides", "The Lobster" We would therefore ask you to refrain from submitting revisions for these fragrances. We keep an eye on the story and will change it if necessary.
