Affiliate Disclosure For Scent Chronicles
This affiliate disclosure explains how Scent Chronicles uses affiliate links and how those links help support the work that goes into every review and guide on this site. Transparency is important to me, and I want you to understand exactly how I may earn income when you read and use my content.
How Affiliate Links Work On This Site
Some of the links on Scent Chronicles are affiliate links. This means that if you click on a link and make a purchase, I may earn a small commission from that purchase. The price you pay as a reader does not increase because of these links. Any commission is paid by the retailer, not by you.
Scent Chronicles participates in affiliate marketing programs such as Amazon Associates and FragranceNet through Rakuten Advertising. These programs use cookies or tracking links so that a purchase can be attributed to this site if you decide to buy a fragrance after clicking through.
What Products I Recommend And Why
My recommendations are based on real experience with fragrances: testing them on skin, wearing them in different weather, and observing how they develop over time. Because I work as a fragrance consultant in a niche perfumery, I have daily hands-on exposure to both designer and niche scents, and that expertise shapes the way I write about perfumes here.
I only recommend products that I believe are interesting, worthwhile, or useful for readers. If I would not wear a fragrance myself, suggest it to a client in person, or stand behind its quality, I will not recommend it on Scent Chronicles, even if a commission is available.
Editorial Integrity And Independence
Commissions do not influence my opinions. All reviews, comparisons, and guides on Scent Chronicles are written from an independent point of view. If I receive a product as a press sample or gift, that information will be clearly disclosed in the relevant article.
My evaluations focus on what matters to fragrance lovers: scent profile, performance, versatility, packaging, value for money, and how a perfume actually feels to wear in real life. You can read more about how I test and review fragrances on the Review Methodology and Editorial Guidelines pages.
Transparency, Reader Trust, And Scent Chronicles
Trust is essential in a niche like perfumery, where blind buying is common and bottles can be expensive. This affiliate disclosure is part of my commitment to being open about how Scent Chronicles is funded. I aim to provide accurate, honest information so that you can make confident and informed decisions about what to sample or purchase.
Supporting the site through affiliate links allows me to invest more time in testing fragrances, writing in-depth reviews, and creating educational content for beginners and enthusiasts alike. Whether you choose to use these links or not, you are always welcome here as a reader.
Compliance With FTC Guidelines
Scent Chronicles follows the guidance provided by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) on endorsements and testimonials. Disclosures about affiliate links and material connections are placed in clear, noticeable locations so that readers understand when a commercial relationship may exist.
I also work to ensure that this disclosure and my use of affiliate links remain compatible with platform policies such as Google AdSense program policies.
