• search_perfumes read-only

  Search the 10ML Fragrance Index for perfumes, colognes and fragrances (eau de parfum, eau de toilette, extrait) by name, house, notes, accords, family, audience, season, occasion or style. Natural language works: 'fresh citrus summer cologne for men' or 'warm vanilla scent for winter' is understood. Set iconic to true for only the editors' iconic, era-defining classics ('must-know perfumes for her', 'iconic winter scents'). Use when someone describes the scent they want, or names a perfume or house and you need matching fragrances. Not for the full profile of one known perfume (use get_perfume), not for 'something like X' (use find_similar_perfumes) and not for dupes or alternatives to a famous perfume (use find_perfume_alternatives). Returns ranked perfumes with house, year, family, accords, key notes, an editorial character line and 10ml.com links.

  Parameters:

  • house — string — Only perfumes from this house. Examples: "Dior", "Maison Francis Kurkdjian", "MFK", "YSL"
  • limit — integer — Results per page.
  • query — string — Free text: a perfume name, house, notes or mood. Examples: "fresh citrus summer for men", "Tom Ford oud", "vanilla gourmand for winter"
  • style — string — A style word the scent should have.
  • cursor — string — next_cursor from the previous page.
  • family — string — Fragrance family. Examples: "chypre", "fougere", "gourmand", "amber", "citrus". Leave term empty in explain_perfume_term to list every family.
  • gender — string — Audience the perfume is marketed to. men and women also include unisex perfumes.
  • iconic — boolean — true = only the editors' iconic, era-defining classics (works with every other filter, and without a query)
  • locale — string — Language of the 10ml.com links and labels.
  • season — string — Season the perfume suits (fall is accepted in text queries as autumn).
  • accords — array — Accords that must be present. Examples: ["woody","sweet"], ["fresh","aquatic"]

Use when you know which perfume is meant and need facts about it ('tell me about Aventus', 'what notes are in Delina', 'what does Baccarat Rouge 540 smell like'). Not for browsing (use search_perfumes), not for comparing two or more (use compare_perfumes). Unknown names return the closest matches.

Use when someone is choosing between named fragrances or asks how two differ ('Sauvage vs Bleu', 'Delina or Layton', 'Aventus or Layton for summer').
