Scento Perfume API

Scento Perfume API is a free, read-only perfume database API and MCP server from the perfume decant shop Scento. It covers 1,400+ perfumes, 140+ houses and 400+ raw materials, with note pyramids, scent families and similar-perfume lookups; every note pyramid is traced to the house's own published list or an authorised retailer's.

What it does: developers call plain GET endpoints that return JSON over HTTPS with open CORS (base URL https://www.scento.com/api/perfume/v1). The API is described in OpenAPI 3.1, and the documentation includes quickstarts in curl, Python and JavaScript. Packages are published as scento-perfume-api on npm and on PyPI.

Key features: search perfumes by note, house and scent family; look up a perfume's note pyramid; find similar perfumes; browse houses and raw materials. Every response comes from the same catalogue that Scento uses for its perfume shop.

MCP server: assistants and editors such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and VS Code connect to the MCP server at https://www.scento.com/mcp, which has twelve read-only tools. That lets an AI assistant answer perfume questions with real catalogue data instead of guessing.

Use cases: answering "which perfumes contain this note" in a chatbot, building a fragrance finder or note explorer, enriching a perfume blog or comparison site with house and family data, and giving a coding assistant perfume knowledge while you build.

Pricing and access: no API key, no account and no sign-up. Free to use.
