The composition itself: its notes, the perfumer who built it and the house that released it. Notes and Families index the material, Houses and Perfumers index the people and brands, and Performance deals with how a fragrance is reported to wear. It is a European title and leans that way in what it covers.
No. Nose and Note summarises what named publications, houses and perfumers have said about a release, and it does not smell, score or recommend anything itself. Any impression of a scent that appears is somebody else's, and is credited to them.
In the article, by name, with a link to the original. Where a note breakdown or a launch date rests on a single publication, that publication is named in the text so you can weigh it. Source wording is never republished as our own.
No. Articles are written with automated assistance and carry no personal byline, and the source publication is credited in the author's place. Sources and methods spells out how each piece is produced.
