ScentShelf is a perfume tracker and fragrance diary. Log your scent of the day, keep every bottle on one shelf, and let your own wear history show you your taste. Not an encyclopedia, and not a feed telling you what to buy. A personal record of what you actually wear, and what that says about you. No account needed to start. Open the app, add a bottle, log today's wear. Link an account later, only when you want a backup. DIARY: YOUR SCENT OF THE DAY Log what you wore in one tap and it lands on your calendar, so "what did I wear to that dinner in March?" finally has an answer. Add a mood and an occasion if you like: those tags gather into a monthly report, and a weekly recap card sums up your week, ready to share. SHELF: EVERY BOTTLE IN ONE PLACE Add a perfume from one sheet: type the name, or photograph the bottle with ScentScan, then send it to your shelf or your wishlist from the same place. Add photos, notes and impressions, group bottles into collections, choose how densely the shelf displays, and archive the ones you've finished without losing the memory. NEZ: ANSWERS FROM YOUR OWN SHELF Nez, the AI fragrance guide, now has its own tab. Ask what to wear tonight, what's in a collection, or which bottle you've been neglecting, and Nez answers from your shelf and your diary, not from a generic bestseller list. Simple questions about your own shelf are answered on the spot, without using a Nez question. Each day, Nez's Pick suggests something to wear; while your shelf is still small, it suggests perfumes worth trying instead, and any of them goes to your wishlist in one tap. INSIGHTS: FREE FOR EVERYONE See your most-worn bottles, the note families you reach for, and the moods behind them. Ask Nez for a read of your taste, built from what you actually wear. DISCOVER Editorial guides and reviews from fellow collectors. When something catches your eye, save it to your wishlist in one tap.

Perfume Picks reads your taste into a Fragrance DNA. Then it hands you a scent to wear each day from the bottles you already own, and finds cheaper bottles that smell nearly the same. YOUR FRAGRANCE DNA Tap the scents you love and we read your palate into an archetype: The Seducer, The Connoisseur, The Purist, and more. It's your taste with a name on it, and it keeps sharpening every time you wear, swipe, or add a bottle. SCENT OF THE DAY Open the app to a scent chosen from your own wardrobe, matched to your DNA and the day, with a line on why it fits. Turn on the morning reminder and it arrives at 8am. CHEAPER BOTTLES THAT SMELL THE SAME Love a $300 bottle? We find dupes matched on accords, ranked by how close they smell and how much you'd save. Usually 30 to 70 percent less. YOUR WHOLE COLLECTION Track every bottle you own, want, or have tried, with remaining mL, price, and when you last wore it. Log a wear in one tap and it captures the day and occasion. Backdate up to two years, and log layering combos too. SCAN A BOTTLE Point your camera at a bottle and we'll identify it and add it to your wardrobe. SHARE YOUR DNA Send friends your archetype and they can go find out theirs. YOUR YEAR IN SCENT Perfume Wrapped turns your wear history into a recap you can share: top houses, top families, the bottles you reached for most.

Verdict
