A fragrance collection app for the bottles you actually wear
Once you own more than a handful of bottles, it gets hard to remember what you have, what you reach for and what has been sitting untouched. A short log per bottle fixes that.
One entry per bottle
Record the house, the fragrance name, the concentration and the bottle size. Add a photo of the bottle and the box. Notes on how it smells to you on skin are the most valuable part, and they are easy to lose if you do not write them down.
Use the batch code
Many bottles and boxes carry a batch code, usually printed on the base of the bottle or the box. Noting it, plus the purchase date, tells you roughly how old a bottle is and where it came from.
Log what you wear
A line each day or week about what you wore shows which bottles are in rotation. It also tells you when a favourite is running low.
What to record for each bottle
| Item | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| House, name, concentration | Identifies the exact product. |
| Bottle size and fill level | Tells you when to buy again. |
| Batch code | Gives you an idea of age and authenticity. |
| Purchase date, source, price | Your own history. |
| Notes on how it wears | The part you will want back later. |
| Last worn | Shows what is in rotation. |
