About OLFX

Every fragrance has a structure.

OLFX is an independent fragrance laboratory. We publish perfume formulas you can study and build, and make finished fragrances you can wear. Both sit in one system, labelled so you always know which one you are choosing.

What OLFX is

Recognizable scent profiles, without paying for the name on the bottle.

OLFX is for people who love recognizable scent directions — woody, fresh, gourmand, leather and more — and want to understand them, not only buy them.

Every finished OLFX fragrance is an original interpretation built around a recognizable olfactory direction. Every OLFX formula is a written type-reconstruction of a known fragrance that you can study before you buy.

References to original fragrances describe a scent direction. OLFX is not affiliated with or endorsed by the original houses.

Our approach

Four working principles

Precision
A formula lists every material with its CAS number and exact amount.
Clarity
Every product is labelled as a digital formula or a finished fragrance before you buy. A formula is never shipped as a bottle.
Formulation
Formulas are written as type-reconstructions: a documented structure you can read, study and build.
Wearability
Finished fragrances come as a 50 ml Extrait spray or a 10 ml perfume oil, so you choose how a scent is worn.

Start with the structure, or start with the scent.
