Step 1 of 9

Scent Split owns the niche decant conversation, but the broader 'perfume discovery' category is still a battleground.

You have built a massive lead in community trust; the next step is capturing the casual luxury buyer before they hit the big-box retailers.

Scent Split's baseline score
72/100
Good

Scent Split enjoys high AI visibility due to a decade of community trust and a massive catalog of niche brands. While you are a canonical answer for 'decants', there is a gap in capturing broader luxury discovery queries where AI currently leans on editorial giants.

What we see
  • Scent Split has exceptional 'word-of-mouth' equity in training data due to thousands of Reddit mentions.
  • Visibility for specific brand-level searches (e.g., 'Xerjoff samples') is high, but generic 'perfume samples' is crowded by ads and Sephora.
  • The brand lacks a strong presence in mainstream lifestyle publications (Vogue, GQ) compared to competitors like MicroPerfumes.
  • YouTube fragrance reviewers provide a significant secondary signal that Gemini and AI Overviews pick up.
Business goals Scent Split is likely trying to hit
  • Dominate the search results for specific niche fragrance samples like Aventus and Baccarat Rouge 540
  • Convert one-time sample buyers into recurring discovery box subscribers
  • Position the brand as the most trusted authority for authentic luxury decants over cheaper competitors
