Curious about the stories, the testing process or how to get in touch? Here are a few answers about what Davide Parfums does, and what it definitely doesn’t do.
About the publication
What is Davide Parfums?
Davide Parfums is an independent editorial website about fragrance, founded and edited by Davide in Italy. It publishes reviews, new-release previews, interviews, brand stories and guides. We don’t make perfumes. We write about them, sometimes with unreasonable enthusiasm.
Does Davide Parfums sell or manufacture perfumes?
No. Davide Parfums is not a perfume house, retailer or online shop. The website is an editorial publication, and products mentioned in articles are not sold or shipped by us.
Can you send me free samples or full-size perfumes?
Unfortunately not. We don’t operate a fragrance sampling or gifting programme, and we don’t distribute complimentary bottles. There is no secret warehouse full of perfume. Believe us, we’d love one.
Reviews & editorial independence
Are all fragrances featured on the website personally tested?
No, and we make that distinction clear. Fragrance Reviews are based on firsthand testing. New Releases and certain editorial features may discuss launches we haven’t tested, using official information and clearly labelled expectations rather than invented impressions.
How do you test fragrances?
We try to give each fragrance the time and attention it deserves, observing how it develops and how our impressions change. The testing context and any relevant limitations are explained in the review. A single test is not presented as weeks of experience.
Do you accept gifted fragrances or press samples?
Yes, when they are relevant to our editorial interests. Samples and full-size products may be provided by brands or PR agencies for editorial consideration, but receiving a product never guarantees publication, a positive review or social media coverage. We disclose gifted products and relevant relationships.
Working with Davide Parfums
Can brands and PR agencies contact you?
Absolutely. We welcome relevant launches, press information, interview opportunities, event invitations and proposals for editorial sampling. Please share the brand, the news and any useful official materials via our Contact page. Editorial decisions always remain ours.
Can I suggest a fragrance for review?
Yes. Reader suggestions are welcome, but a suggestion doesn’t guarantee coverage. Our choices depend on editorial interest, available testing opportunities and whether we have something meaningful to add.
Do you accept sponsored posts or paid backlinks?
We don’t publish third-party articles solely to place SEO links. Any commercial collaboration must be relevant to our readers, clearly disclosed and consistent with our independent editorial standards.
Permissions & contact
Can I reuse your articles or images?
Original Davide Parfums writing should not be republished in full without permission. Short attributed excerpts with a link to the original article may be appropriate, subject to copyright law. Some product photographs belong to brands or other rights holders, not to us.
How can I get in touch?
