How is similarity calculated?

Fragranova ranks fragrances by a weighted overlap of dominant accords (50%), shared notes across all positions (30%), and shared base notes specifically (20%). The score reflects ingredient overlap, not perceived smell. Two fragrances can share most notes and still smell different depending on concentration, ratios, and the perfumer's hand.

We rank by overlap in accords and notes, but two fragrances can share most ingredients and still smell distinct (concentration, ratios, and the perfumer's hand all matter). Picks with a Verified Clone badge are mapped by our community as true smell-alikes; the rest sit in the same olfactory family.

How we rank, and why this isn't a dupe list

We rank by a weighted overlap of dominant accords (50% of the score), shared notes across all pyramid positions (30%), and shared base notes specifically (20%). Base notes carry weight because they drive what you smell hours into the wear.

But shared ingredients don't guarantee identical smell. Two fragrances can list the same notes and still smell completely different. The perfumer's ratios, the materials they sourced, and the supporting molecules all change the result. That's why we split this page into two sections.

Verified Clones are fragrances our community has explicitly mapped to Pulse in our Clone Lab. These are the only picks on this page we'd call true smell-alikes. The Same Family picks share its note structure but should be treated as "if you like Pulse, you may like..." rather than direct dupes.
