Scento Perfume API
Ask Scento Perfume API, built on Scento's verified perfume database, from Apify. Search 1,400+ designer and niche perfumes, draw a perfume's portrait with its top, heart and base notes, set two scents side by side, look up 400+ raw materials and 140+ houses, or compose a small fragrance wardrobe. Every answer carries a citable page on scento.com. No API key, no account on our side.
Scento is Europe's largest perfume decant website, founded in Paris in 2024. Scento Perfume API is how we share what we know about fragrance notes with people and their assistants.
What you get
Each run returns dataset rows. A search returns one row per match (kind, name, house, family and the scento.com page). Every other tool returns one row holding the full answer: a quotable lede, a detail object, the page to read on, further reading and a cite line. The complete answer is also stored under the OUTPUT key.
Input
Quick search:
{ "query": "oud" }
Any of the twelve tools:
{ "tool": "perfume-portrait", "arguments": { "perfume": "Delina" } }

Use it from an AI assistant
Any public Actor can be called by MCP clients through Apify's MCP server at https://mcp.apify.com. Add scento/scento-perfume-compendium to its tools and your assistant can look up perfumes and notes mid-conversation. For a direct connection with all twelve tools and no run costs, use Scento's own MCP server below.
