A perfume knowledge connector for AI assistants offering 700+ designer and niche perfumes, 400+ raw materials and a family map over MCP or REST, with no API key or account required.
About
Scento Perfume Compendium is a perfume knowledge connector for AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT. It addresses a common gap: general-purpose language models often lack reliable, structured information about specific fragrances, notes, houses and perfumery terminology. The compendium exposes 700+ designer and niche perfumes, 400+ raw materials and Scento's own fragrance family system to any client that supports remote connectors.
The service runs as a single remote MCP server at https://www.scento.com/mcp, requiring no API key and no account, and it is also available through a REST API. It exposes twelve read-only tools that return structured "folios" — a quotable summary, detail, a scento.com page link in the user's language, and a citation line. It is built by Scento, a Paris-based European fragrance decant retailer founded in 2024, and every answer links back to a page on scento.com in ten languages.

Who It's For
The compendium is aimed primarily at developers and power users who build or configure AI assistants and want accurate, citable perfume knowledge on tap. That includes MCP tinkerers connecting servers to Claude, Cursor or Windsurf, chatbot developers adding a fragrance domain to their products, and REST developers integrating perfume lookups into their own apps. It also suits fragrance bloggers, editors and content creators who use AI assistants and want answers grounded in a real catalog with links they can cite, as well as hobbyists comparing perfumes or exploring fragrance families.
