Talk:List of perfumes

message: This list was originally part of the Perfume article but was spawned out because it was getting to unwieldy within the context of the original article. Wjousts 22:17, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

message: The table needs correction or clarification.  In particular, the “Company” column seems sometimes to refer to an original producer which is not the present producer, and sometimes to a present producer which is not the original producer. —SlamDiego←T 06:15, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

message: I'll be frank and say that this list is just short of being trash. Without a formal method of evaluating notability, ANY PERFUME put out by anybody can be listed here. I will suggest four possible guidelines for notability and perfume retaining:
#Sales figures at time of release (brute force strength of sales per year)
#Constancy of sales (length of availability with constant sales)
#Trend setting (Spawns "offspring" of perfume trends in genealogies like the H&R Fragrance manuals)
#Expert opinions (in reference guides like that of Michael Edwards or Turin & Sanche)
If anyone has any opinions, please state them. Otherwise I'll start weeding. According to the H&R genealogy for feminine and masculine fragrances.

message: The list still seems to be a mess simply based on personal preference or level of acquaintance by whoever edited some additions to it.
How can the same criteria of notability be working for perfumes before 1990 and after 1990 if the latter "half" makes up the biggest part of the list? It seems dubious that the users consume so much more fragrant waters that all these creations from the last 2-3 decades are as notable as the big ones from the early 20th century or from 300 years ago (Not every recently published Calvin Klein paint thinner will be the next Chanel No5 or 4711)
Aren't there some real experts that could define stringent notability criteria so that not every new trend of the year finds its way into the collection and muddles it up?  --176.199.186.241 (talk) 22:07, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Still completelly clogged up 

message: It seems inappropriate to include the Creed perfumes here.  Most believe that Creed's claimed perfume history is fiction to sell product.  As the article on Creed says:
"Due to a lack of traceable historical evidence, there has been some skepticism on the authenticity of Creed's historical background. As shown by collectors and historians, no Creed perfume existing before 1975 has been found.[6]"
I would strongly recommend that they be removed, or at least the ones prior to 1975.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.34.0.203 (talk) 04:33, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  For men/unisex/for women indicator? 

message: This list should include, e.g., Cloud by Ariana Grande, one of the most famous, popular and influential fragrances of the last several years. Many of these perfumes should have their own article, and many others that should be on this list are not. The criteria for inclusion in this list seem vague, spotty, inconsistent and arbitrary at the moment. 2806:2F0:6120:9FA1:84E8:8E5E:D325:C648 (talk) 12:51, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: SUPPORT. Uno. List of celebrity-branded perfumes is a separate list, but you took your time to request Cloud to be on this list as well. Dos. So be it. Added just to create an interlink. 81.89.66.133 (talk) 13:54, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Somebody fix this!!! 

message: Today, I was told Fragrantica "has pricing" on perfumes. That's not exactly the case, that's a preview of related pages from EBay - But I accept it may count as a "promotion" of modern perfumes. The section in question is titled as "great deals on EBay". Nevertheless, I admit it has ads boisterous enough to flaunt price tags at viewers.
As a middle ground, I suppose to limit its use for recent or generally modern ones... yet use Fragrantica for older fragnances (pre-80's) since it's hard to come by information on the fragnances of 1980 and before. 
My point: Fragrantica is a site that's itself, per se, not "commercial", but rather, a site that shows ads related to each page, e.g. each entry. Such a categorization may attract ad place buyers. However, the site lists incredibly old fragnances that have been discontinued long ago as well. 81.89.66.133 (talk) 12:08, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
