Parfumo Top Perfumes Scraper

This Rust project scrapes the top perfumes listed on Parfumo for different categories (Women, Men, Unisex) and saves the results into CSV files. The output includes the perfume's name, brand, URL, and image source.

How It Works

1. HTTP Request: Sends a GET request to the Parfumo website for each category.
2. HTML Parsing: Parses the returned HTML using the scraper crate.
3. Data Extraction:
   • Extracts perfume details using CSS selectors.
   • Handles missing or incomplete data gracefully.
4. CSV Export: Writes the extracted data into category-specific CSV files.
