Editorial policy

Blind Buy Guide exists to answer one question: should you buy this fragrance, and what is the cheapest way to try it first?

What we publish

• Facts we can source: notes and accords as published by the brand, release year, perfumer, concentration, and prices as shown on retailer pages on the date we checked.
• Our own analysis: price per ml, sampling options, similar scents, and a verdict on whether to blind buy or sample first.
• Summaries of what many wearers report, such as longevity or how a scent changes over time, with the sources linked.

What we don't do

• We don't claim personal wear experience we don't have. When we describe how a fragrance smells on skin, we are summarizing published notes and many human reviews, and we say so.
• We don't copy descriptions or reviews from other sites.
• We don't accept payment for a verdict. Brands can sponsor clearly labelled placements in the newsletter or in "Sponsored" sections, but they never see or change a verdict before publication.
• We don't invent prices. Every price shows the date it was checked; prices change and may be out of date.

Corrections. If something is wrong, reply to any newsletter email. We fix factual errors and note the change at the bottom of the page.

Who we are. Blind Buy Guide is an independent publication, written with the help of AI tools (see How we use AI). We are not affiliated with any fragrance house or retailer.
