Sources and methods

noseandnote gathers its news from a curated selection of published feeds and indexes of specialist publications covering the fragrance industry. These sources focus on the composition, perfumer, and house behind each scent. Every news story is processed with automated assistance to create a concise summary. The original publication is always credited as the source, and a link to the full article is provided.

When a factual claim, such as a new perfume launch or a perfumer's move, appears in only one publication, it is treated as a single-source report. This information is published but is clearly noted as unverified until corroborated by additional reporting. This approach ensures readers are informed of industry developments while understanding the provenance of the information.

The site's reference pages, such as those for a Fragrance, Perfumer, or House, are built from stable, widely-reported facts. Each page features a factual table detailing its subject and is accompanied by a credited photograph. These pages are constructed from information confirmed across multiple reliable sources to ensure accuracy.

All news coverage and reference pages on noseandnote are subject to scheduled and event-driven refreshes. News summaries are updated if a story develops significantly. Reference pages are reviewed and updated on a regular cycle to incorporate new releases, confirm new details, and maintain factual accuracy. This process ensures the site's content remains current and reliable for audience worldwide.
