I have a confession. Most of you know me for my obsession with phones, but I also have a secret obsession with perfumes. Over the past few years, I’ve built a collection, and most of them have been blind buys — perfumes I’ve bought without smelling them, based merely on their note pyramids and user reviews. It’s a fun gamble that more often than not ends up with me smelling nicer than ever, but I’ve also ended up with expensive bottles that I’ve barely touched again.
With AI infiltrating every facet of our digital lives, I wondered: Could Gemini help me find the perfect perfume for my next blind purchase? As it turns out, Gemini knows my nose better than I do.

My perfume collection is bordering on an obsession, fueled by a mountain of designer bottles and well-known clones that could easily last me through the decade.

With this large dataset, Gemini had an excellent starting point for analyzing my scent profile.
