OLFACTORY TEST

The NOSE olfactory test system, created by a team of experts, is offered exclusively at Fragrans in fabula in Italy. If you look for your “olfactory signature” and you want to be suggested in the choice of a new perfume among the exciting fragrances we sell, NOSE is the perfect solution! In a few steps, with the help of an App on an iPad, we can identify your olfactory profile on the basis of the perfumes you have worn so far. We then test 5 fragrances that you’ll smell without us revealing anything (name, brand, olfactory family).
For each fragrance, you will be asked to cast a vote, from -5 to +5, based on your taste and preferences. If you have not yet found the fragrance that makes your heart flutter, your votes will be entered into the system by one of our assistants which, based on the data processed by the algorithm, will submit 5 more fragrances. At this point you will almost certainly have found your favourite and only then will we reveal what you have chosen.
You will be the judge and you will see how fast, pleasant and surprising it will be to identify, among hundreds of proposals, the one that was just waiting for your discovery. You can also book this experience for yourself or for someone special to you through our booking service on https://prenotazione.cale.it/.

NOSE is an exciting, immersive experience in the perfume’s world, but remember it’s not a bespoke service.

CLASSIFICATION OF FRAGRANCES

It can be very difficult to find your way around the hundreds of fragrances in our shop. To make it easier for our customers to search and choose, we have adopted a cataloguing system created by Michael Edwards: the creator of "Fragrances of the World", universally considered the "Bible of fragrances". It is an easily consultable database, in analogical or digital form, that classifies almost the entire world of perfumery into 14 olfactory families, distinguished by different colours. Each tester in our shop carries a coloured ribbon that defines the olfactory family at a glance.
Discovering which fragrances close to your current preferences is present in fragrans in fabula’s assortment can be done in a moment, thanks to Michael Edwards' App Match My Favourite. We can tell you which fragrances in our assortment belong to the same olfactory family and type of intensity of the perfume you are wearing or someone you want to give a particular gift to.
