Wholesale Scent Descriptions

Update 4/30/2019: Demeter fragrances have already been broken into one scent in their name. For these fragrances, including only 1 scent note is acceptable to the client. All other fragrances still require 3-4 scent notes. 

Tone/Voice: Descriptive Keywords:

• The Name (column D – 1st word) and Brand (column D – 2nd word) should be used only one time each in the product description.
  • Example: Duc De France/Parfums Duc De France – Writers may use “Duc De France” once AND writers may use “Parfums Duc De France” once.  
  • In the instance that the perfume name and brand are the same (Gucci/Gucci), writers may use each of the keywords once.
• Please spell perfume name EXACTLY as the client has it listed (fixing any that are in all caps) as the client does a CTRL + F function to make sure what he ordered is in the corresponding description. Some examples include:
  • Provided by the client – BVLGARI BLV
    • Please correct all caps and use – Bulgari Blv
  • Provided by client – Emergency(new)
    • Please use – Emergency (new)
  • FACONNABLE HOMME (New Packaging)
    • Please correct all caps and use – Faconnable Homme (New Packaging)
• If the client wants to remove the items in parenthesis once he receives the order, that is up to them.

Research: On the off chance that a product seems to have the same name as one before or after it, Please note that there will be an M (cologne) and a W (perfume) following the identifying number (located in column E).  This means that though the names may be the same, there is a male or female version of the scent that the client would like to have a description written for. Clicking on the link located in column B helps make this more clear. Not every type of perfume or cologne has enough information available to write.  Therefore, we are relying on each writer to take several steps into the research process to see if there is enough information. These steps include:

1. The client has provided correlating FragranceX URLs for each requested wholesale description. Please open this link to see if there is a good description available with at least 3 scent notes. If so, there is no need to look for the information again as BKA probably wrote this description.
2. Open Perfume.com and type in the name of the perfume. If it is available, then you would have two descriptions (both written by BKA) for the same scent.  Please write an abbreviated description for the client’s wholesale website. The new, shorter description must be 100% unique and pass Copyscape.  This may be accomplished by changing the order of information as well as the wording.
3. If there is not a description on FragranceX.com or Perfume.com, copy the name and search it on http://www.fragrantica.com/
4. If there is not enough information there, search the name + maker + perfume/cologne + notes in Google
5. Review the links to see if any have the necessary information, including at least 3 scent notes.  Please review the 1st and 2nd search results pages
6. SHOULD there not be enough information, please select  “N/A” from the drop-down menu built into the title box on the Premium spreadsheet.  The spreadsheet should automatically change the payout from $2.00 to .20 to ensure that your research time is covered. Also – Open up the submit form in column F of the green header and submit all required information – Please put N/A in the product description, descriptive words AND year.

Format:

• Wholesale descriptions do NOT need the URL.
• Name/Brand, Code, Identifying number
• Description – Should contain the most important part – about what makes the scent of this particular cologne/perfume. Each description needs a minimum of 3 scent notes. (Demeter fragrances may only contain 1 scent note. Please still write a description for these using 1 scent note. All other fragrances still require a minimum of 3 scent notes.) Do NOT put “product description” in this spot.  Instead, copy and paste the description YOU HAVE WRITTEN.
  • Scent notes are not generalities, such as floral or woodsy.  Instead, they are ingredients used in the perfume or cologne.
• Please make SURE to mention the year the perfume was created/introduced (if the information is available).

Help:

• If you can find the perfume on Fragrantica, look at the top – above the photo of the perfume. there should be a clickable link to the maker of the perfume!

Description found on FragranceX website:

Launched in 2014, Montblanc Emblem Intense is an authentically masculine scent for men. Revel in opening top notes of energizing grapefruit, clary sage, cardamom and coriander before the cologne settles into middle notes of frozen violet leaves, pomarose, cinnamon and nutmeg. Then enjoy the long-lasting warmth of the base, which consists of woody notes, patchouli, suede and tonka bean. An altogether spicy and sensual scent, this cologne takes masculinity and sophistication to an enticing new level.

Established in 1908, Mont Blanc is a German luxury goods company. The brand initially focused on pens and leather writing accessories, and after worldwide success and transitions in ownership, it expanded into jewelry, watches and additional goods in the second half of the century. Mont Blanc launched its first women’s fragrance, Presence, in 2001. Since then, the company has coordinated with Inter Parfums Inc. to release a number of popular luxury scents for both men and women.

Description on FragranceX Website:

Launched in September 2014, Fleur Fatale is a heady, seductive scent fit for a night out under the stars—or with them. The captivating combination of black currant, violet, and bergamot gives this fragrance an exotic, sensual character all its own. At its center, it features delicate, efflorescent layers of peony, iris, and tea rose. Finally, the base culminates in white musk and sandalwood for a supple finish.

This is the 7^th women’s fragrance created by designer Kim Kardashian since entering the world of perfume in 2009 with her signature scent. In addition to designing fragrances, she is also a model, socialite, shoe designer, fitness guru, and reality television star. The scent was conceived in collaboration with Claude Dir, the 2016 recipient of the American Society of Perfumers Lifetime Achievement Award. The bottle’s gracefully tiered white rose shape evokes the pop culture icon’s favorite flower and reflects her attention to detail.
