How We Create Your Scent

Your Personality Has Layers.

The first impression you make. The heart of who you are. The foundation you always return to.

There are so many layers to who you are. The person the world first meets, the person you are at your center, and the qualities that keep you grounded.

At Scentimony, we believe your fragrance should tell the whole story.

Through your personality, passions, interests, and moods, we discover your three unique profiles and bring them together in a fragrance that's uniquely yours.

The three personality layers

  1. First Impression | Top Notes

    The First Impression You Make

    This is how the world initially experiences you. The energy you bring into a room, the qualities people notice when they first meet you, and the little spark that makes you memorable.

    Just as top notes are the opening of a fragrance, your First Impression personality introduces your story to the world.

  2. Heart | Hero Notes

    The Heart of Who You Are

    This is your center self. The qualities that feel most naturally you, the passions that move you, and the personality that shines through when you're simply being yourself.

    Your heart notes form the central character of your fragrance, just as your Hero personality represents the heart of your story.

  3. Foundation | Base Notes

    The Foundation You Always Return To

    These are your grounding qualities. The values, instincts, and familiar strengths you return to as life changes around you.

    Just as base notes give a fragrance depth and lasting character, your Foundation personality represents the qualities that provide continuity and stability in your life.

The Scentimony Method

From your story to your scent

  1. You tell us your story

    Choose how you'd like your scent expressed, perfume, gender neutral, or cologne, then answer twenty questions in four short chapters about your personality, passions, interests, and moods.

  2. We discover your three unique profiles

    Your answers are shared across eight personality archetypes. Your highest becomes your Heart, your second becomes your Foundation, and your third becomes your First Impression.

  3. Each piece finds its notes

    From our library of eighty notes, each archetype guides its own layer: two or three opening notes, five heart notes, and three lingering notes. You can leave out up to three scents you don't love and keep up to three you can't live without.

  4. We balance the formula

    Your fragrance is 20% perfume and 80% carrier. Within the perfume oil, heart notes carry the most at 50%, lingering notes 30%, and opening notes 20%, shared evenly within each layer so no single note overwhelms the rest.

  5. Our perfumers review it

    Every formula begins as a draft. Our team checks each ingredient against supplier and safety limits and approves it before anything is made.

Your quiz percentages show how your answers were shared across your personalities. They choose which archetypes shape your fragrance, but they never set how much of any ingredient goes into the bottle.
