Affiliate disclosure
Plain-language detail on how this site is funded, as required by Australian Consumer Law and by our own preference for saying so up front.
The short version
ScentMatch earns commission when a visitor follows one of our pricing links to a retailer and makes a purchase. This costs you nothing extra, and it does not influence which fragrances we cover or where they rank.
Which links are affiliate links
Every outbound pricing link — labelled “Compare prices” or similar — is an affiliate link to the eBay Partner Network. These links carry tracking parameters that attribute a resulting purchase to us, and they are marked up with rel="sponsored" so search engines can identify them as paid relationships. Internal links between our own pages are never affiliate links.
What commission does not affect
- Whether a fragrance is included in our catalogue.
- Its position in any list, collection or quiz result.
- What we say about its performance, quality or value.
- Whether we recommend a cheaper alternative over an expensive one — we frequently do.
Our quiz results and collection orderings are produced by the scoring and filtering logic described in how it works. Commission rates are not an input to that logic.
Pricing accuracy
Prices shown on this site are indicative Australian retail ranges, not live quotes. Fragrance pricing moves constantly across department stores, pharmacy chains, duty-free and online marketplaces. Always confirm the current price, the bottle size, the concentration and the seller’s authenticity at the retailer before purchasing.
Australian Consumer Law
We are not the seller of any fragrance linked from this site. Consumer guarantees, returns, warranties and delivery are matters between you and the retailer you buy from. Nothing on ScentMatch limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
Questions
If anything about our funding model is unclear, ask. We would rather over-explain this than have a reader feel misled.
