Write for Us Perfume: Perfume Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Most perfume pitches are lists of bestsellers with the same copied notes, or dupe roundups that make claims no one can check. What this blog wants is the expert view from someone who lives with fragrance: how a small perfume brand found its first loyal customers, what a retailer asks before recommending a scent, how a collector tests a fragrance on skin before buying a full bottle.

My readers are business owners, creators and online shoppers, and many of them buy fragrance online without smelling it first. They already read my checks on whether FragranceNet is legit and whether Perfume.com is legit. A perfume post has to help them choose with more confidence, or help a fragrance business sell more honestly.

60-second perfume guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Do you make, sell, review or collect fragrance yourself
• Have you worn or tested every scent you mention
• Does your opening answer the reader's question in the first two lines
• Have you avoided health claims and any claim you can't back up
• Have you removed any sales pitch for one brand or shop

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we look for in perfume posts

These are the perfume topics that land, and the version of each that gets turned down.

Topic	What gets accepted	What gets declined
Choosing a scent	How you help people pick, with the questions you ask	A ranking of bestsellers with copied notes
Fragrance families	Plain words on how families differ on skin	Jargon with no explanation
Perfume brands	How a small brand grew, with what worked	A launch press release
Selling online	Descriptions and samples that cut returns	Claims that a copy smells identical
Care and wear	Storage and wearing tips you've tested	Health or mood claims

What we don't accept

• Dupe roundups that claim a copy smells the same
• Note lists copied from a brand's own page
• Health or mood claims with nothing behind them
• Thin posts under 800 words with no first hand experience
• Previously published posts republished from another site

What you get

• Your article in front of an engaged audience of business owners, marketers and founders
• One relevant, contextual link back to your own site
• A byline and the credibility of an established, high-traffic blog
• Editorial help to make the piece as strong as it can be before it goes live

How to submit

Send your pitch or draft through the contact form. Include the topic, the one specific problem the post solves, and a line on your first-hand experience with it. One idea per pitch works best. You will hear back on whether it is a fit before you write the full draft.

What a strong perfume pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about the ten best perfumes for women." A strong one says "I run a small fragrance shop, and I want to show the three questions I ask customers who shop online without testing first, and the returns those questions stopped." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• How to shortlist a perfume you can't smell first
• What fragrance notes mean and why they change on skin
• Writing product descriptions that sell scent online
• How a small perfume brand found its first customers
• Choosing a fragrance as a gift without guessing
• Storing perfume so it keeps its character
• Sampling and decants: testing before a full bottle
• What a perfumer wishes shoppers knew

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept perfume guest posts?

Yes. Perfume and fragrance guest posts are welcome from perfumers, fragrance retailers, brand founders and experienced collectors who can share tested advice. We publish honest, practical articles and decline dupe hype, copied note lists and posts written to push one brand.

What perfume topics do you accept?

Choosing a scent, fragrance families, testing on skin, building a perfume brand, selling fragrance online, care and storage, and fragrance as a gift. The common thread is honest advice from someone who knows scent.

Do you accept beauty and skincare guest posts too?

Yes, but skincare routines and makeup pitches suit the skincare and beauty pages better. Every pitch reaches the same editor and the same rule applies: tested, honest and useful.

How long should a guest post be?

Most accepted posts run between 1,200 and 2,000 words. Length matters less than usefulness: a tight 1,200 word post with one clear lesson beats a 3,000 word overview every time. Use short paragraphs, clear subheadings and at least one real example.

Can I include a link back to my own site?

One contextual link back to your own site is fine when it is relevant and helps the reader. Posts written purely to build a backlink with no real value for the reader are not published.

Do you accept previously published content?

No. Every submission must be original and not published anywhere else first, including your own blog, Medium, LinkedIn or a guest slot on another site. Republished or lightly reworded content gets declined, and we check before anything goes live.

Can I use AI tools to help write my guest post?

You can use AI to help with research or tidying your draft, but the experience, examples and opinions must be yours. Posts that read like generic AI output, with no first-hand detail, are declined.

Do you accept sponsored or commercial partnerships?

Commercial and partnership enquiries are handled separately from editorial guest posts. If you are a brand or agency wanting to work together rather than pitch an article, say so in the contact form and you will get the right details back.

How long does a decision take?

We aim to come back to you within a few working days. If the pitch is specific and clearly written, with the result in the first line, the decision is much faster.

Do you edit guest posts before they go live?

Yes. Every accepted post gets an editorial pass for clarity, structure and accuracy, and you may be asked for an extra example or a missing number. The aim is to make your piece as useful as it can be, not to change your voice.

Can I pitch more than one idea?

Yes, but send them one at a time or as a short numbered list with one line each. The strongest pitch goes first, and a single clear idea with a real result almost always beats several vague ones.

How do I submit a perfume guest post?

Send your pitch through the contact form with the topic, the specific result or lesson you will cover, and a line on your own experience making, selling or testing fragrance. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you write the full draft.
