CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this quiz measure?
It estimates preference patterns across four fragrance families: Fresh Citrus, Floral, Woody & Earthy, and Gourmand & Cozy. It reflects scent affinities rather than personality traits.
How long does it take and how many items are included?
The quiz includes 16 scenario-based items. Most respondents complete it in about 10 minutes.
How should each item be answered?
Select the option that best matches the setting, mood, or note that feels most natural. If two options seem similar, choose the one that is slightly more preferred.
How are results interpreted?
Each fragrance family receives an independent score, and the highest score is the primary match. Scores within one point indicate a blended result with meaningful overlap.
Is there a correct answer, and can results change over time?
There are no correct or incorrect responses. Results may change with season, context, or exposure to new fragrance combinations.
