Fragrantica Reviews Scraper

Fragrantica Reviews Scraper extracts perfume reviews from Fragrantica into clean, structured data you can download as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML. Paste a perfume page, or the latest reviews page of the whole site, and get one row per review with the review text, date, author, and the reviewer's own rating, longevity, sillage, season, and gender votes. No account needed to start.

Introduction

Fragrantica is the largest online perfume encyclopedia, with more than 140,000 perfumes and over 2.6 million reviews written by fragrance lovers. Its reviews show what real people think about a scent: how long it lasts, how strong it is, and when they like to wear it.

This actor turns those reviews into a ready-to-use dataset, one review per row, so you can analyze opinions about a perfume, follow what people write about new launches, or monitor every new review posted on the site. You can run it once, schedule it to run daily, or connect it to your own tools.

What data can you extract from Fragrantica?

• 📝 Review text (plain text, paragraphs kept), review ID, date and time, and a direct link to the review
• 🧴 Perfume name, brand, ID, page URL, and image
• 👤 Author username, profile URL, and avatar
• 💐 The perfume the author is currently wearing (name, brand, and URL)
• ❤️ The author's rating of the perfume (hate, dislike, ok, like, love)
• ⏳ The author's longevity and sillage votes, as numbers and labels
• 🌦️ Seasons and time of day the author picked (winter, spring, summer, fall, day, night)
• 🚻 The author's gender vote (female, more female, unisex, more male, male)
• 🛍️ Whether the author has, had, or wants the perfume
• 👍 Helpful and not helpful votes on the review

Use Cases

How to scrape Fragrantica reviews step by step

1. Paste one or more Fragrantica perfume pages, or the latest reviews page, into Start URLs.
2. Set Maximum number of reviews to how many reviews you want per URL.
3. Optionally pick a Reviews tab, a Keyword, or a date range with Reviews from and Reviews up to.
4. Click Start and wait for the run to finish.
5. Download your data in JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML from the Output tab.

Input

• Start URLs: the pages to scrape. Two kinds of pages are supported:
  • A perfume page, for example https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Dior/Sauvage-31861.html: the reviews of that perfume, newest first.
  • The latest reviews page, https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume-reviews/: the newest reviews of all perfumes on Fragrantica, newest first, going back up to 7 days.
• Maximum number of reviews: how many reviews to collect for each start URL. Set 0 to get every review Fragrantica shows.
• Reviews tab: which reviews of a perfume page to scrape: All reviews by date (default), Positive reviews, or Negative reviews (the most popular positive or negative reviews). Applies to perfume pages only.
• Keyword: only reviews that mention a word or phrase, at least 3 characters (for example longevity or vanilla). On perfume pages it uses the Fragrantica review search; on the latest reviews page it checks the review text. It cannot be combined with the positive or negative tab.
• Reviews from and Reviews up to: only reviews written in this date range (UTC dates).
• Cookies (optional): the cookies of your own logged-in Fragrantica account. They let the scraper see more reviews per perfume (see below).
• Proxy configuration: Apify Proxy is on by default, because Fragrantica limits how many pages one connection can open. Keep it on for stable runs.

How to get your Fragrantica cookies

Cookies are optional. Without them the scraper works as a guest, and Fragrantica shows up to about 300 reviews per perfume (about 100 for the positive tab, the negative tab, or a keyword). With the cookies of your own Fragrantica account it can collect up to about 1,200 reviews per perfume.

1. Log in to Fragrantica in Chrome, Edge, or Firefox. A free account is enough.
2. Install the free Cookie-Editor extension (Chrome / Edge, Firefox).
3. Open any Fragrantica page, click the Cookie-Editor icon, then click Export and choose Export as JSON. The cookies are copied to your clipboard.
4. Paste them into the Cookies field of this scraper and start the run.

Other formats work too: a name=value; name2=value2 cookie string, the content of a cookies.txt file, or only the value of the fragrantica_com_555 cookie.

Tips:

• Fragrantica limits how fast one account can load reviews, so with cookies the scraper slows down to about one page of 20 reviews every 10 seconds. A perfume with 1,200 reviews takes about 10 minutes.
• Use a secondary account if you plan to scrape a lot.
• Fragrantica cookies stay valid for about 2 weeks, or until you log out. Export them again when the run log says they have expired or are no longer logged in.
• Your cookies are stored encrypted and are only used to load Fragrantica reviews for your run.

Notes

• Only perfume pages and the latest reviews page are supported; other Fragrantica URLs (designers, notes, search) are skipped.
• Without cookies, Fragrantica shows up to about 300 reviews per perfume by date, about 100 for the positive or negative tab, and about 100 per keyword. With your account cookies it shows up to about 1,200 by date. To collect every review of Fragrantica at scale beyond these limits, contact aboo.script@gmail.com for a private or custom actor.
• The latest reviews page only goes back 7 days. Dates older than that return no results from that page.
• Authors often skip the votes, so rating, longevity, sillage, gender, seasons, and time of day are null or empty when the author did not vote.
• Helpful and not helpful vote counts are not shown for the newest 200 reviews of a perfume, so they are null for those reviews.
• Review dates on perfume pages are precise to the minute; reviews from the latest reviews page and later pages are precise to the second.
• Each review is saved once per start URL, even if it shows up again while the site is updating.

FAQ

How many reviews can I scrape?

You can set any number in Maximum number of reviews, or 0 for every review Fragrantica shows. See Notes for the limits set by Fragrantica.

Do I need a Fragrantica account?

No. The scraper works as a guest. A free Fragrantica account is only useful if you want more reviews per perfume: add its cookies as shown in How to get your Fragrantica cookies.

Can I scrape reviews on a schedule?

Yes. Schedule a daily run on the latest reviews page with Reviews from set to yesterday to collect every new review automatically.
