ScentShelf is a fragrance diary for people who already track their scent of the day. Log your SOTD, build your shelf, and let the app quietly reveal your taste over time. Not an encyclopedia. Not an algorithm telling you what to buy. Just a clean, personal record of what you actually wear — and what that says about you. Start with no account at all. Open the app, add a bottle, log today's wear. Link an account later, only when you want it backed up. RECORD YOUR SOTD Every day, note the fragrance you reached for and why. Your wears land on a calendar you can scroll back through, so the question "what did I wear to that dinner in March?" finally has an answer. Tag the mood and the occasion, and those tags gather into a monthly report on how your scent choices track your life. Each Sunday a weekly recap card sums up the week, and you can share it. ORGANIZE YOUR SHELF Catalog every bottle you own in one place. Add a photo, notes, brand, and impressions so each fragrance has real context, not just a name. Set how densely the shelf displays, keep a wishlist for the scents you're still hunting, and archive the bottles you've finished without losing the memory. Whether it's a tight daily rotation or a shelf that's quietly gotten out of hand, ScentShelf keeps your fragrance wardrobe organized. DISCOVER YOUR TASTE This is where the diary pays off. As your wears add up, ScentShelf builds a scent profile from what you actually reach for — note families, seasons, the styles that keep resurfacing. Stats show your most-worn bottles, your habits, and how your taste shifts through the year. Nez, the AI sommelier, reads your own collection and wear history to interpret those patterns and suggest what to wear next — grounded in your shelf, never a generic recommendation feed.
