FlaconKeep is a private collection instrument and wear diary for fragrance lovers. Keep every full bottle, backup, travel spray, decant and sample on your own device. No account, no ads and no subscription. See the wardrobe, not a spreadsheet. A photo-forward vitrine shows each bottle and its rough fill at a glance. Open its dossier for concentration, batch code, size, purchase details, top/heart/base notes, notes you perceive, longevity and sillage. Popular fragrances are included for fast entry (not an encyclopedia), and manual entry is always first-class. Make Scent of the Day a two-tap ritual. Log a wear from a recent bottle, record sprays and occasion, or layer several vessels into one honest diary entry. Reapply without re-entering the details. Pick for me quietly brings a neglected bottle back into rotation. Know what you use. Track fill in practical fractions and see estimated cost per logged wear without pretending to know every spray. Pro adds rotation, seasonality, house and note affinities, neglected-bottle intelligence, and a factual Year in Scent recap. Turn trying into deciding. Move a fragrance from to-try to sample to to-buy to owned. Keep a wear count toward the decision, target size and maximum price, and get a duplicate warning before buying something already in the wardrobe. Backups stay linked; finishing one bottle can archive it and bring its backup forward without losing history. Bring your existing collection. Paste a spreadsheet export, map its columns and review duplicates before importing. ZIP backup, restore and CSV export are always free, including while the free wardrobe is at its ten-full-bottle limit. Free includes ten active full bottles plus ten smaller vessels: samples, decants and travel sprays combined. Everything you have already added stays yours to view, back up and export. FlaconKeep Pro is one purchase per storefront and unlocks unlimited full bottles, full insights, Year in Scent, multiple bottle photos and optional PIN/biometric app lock. Works fully offline. No account required. Your collection can always be exported. FlaconKeep is not affiliated with or endorsed by any fragrance house.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Perfume Collection at none against ParfLib's shown. ParfLib's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
