Your signature scent should be as layered as you are. Layer Accordingly is the first app built around YOUR fragrance collection — not someone else's "top 10" list. Add what you own, see how your bottles work together, and discover what to wear next based on your actual scent DNA. — FOUR TABS, ONE WARDROBE — COLLECTION Catalogue every bottle with its accord profile and notes. See your scent DNA emerge automatically — gourmand floral, woody amber, fresh chypre, whatever you naturally gravitate toward. Add custom fragrances and your own photos for anything we don't recognize. LAYERING Stop guessing what works together. Our compatibility engine analyzes the accords and notes in your collection and ranks every possible pair as Excellent, Good, or Subtle. Layer 2 or 3 fragrances at a time, save your favorites, build custom combos, rate every combination, and add personal notes for next time. DISCOVER Search 13,000+ fragrances from Sephora, Ulta, niche houses (Byredo, Le Labo, Maison Margiela, Henry Rose, Ellis Brooklyn, Initio, Fragrance Du Bois), to celebrity launches and budget finds. Filter by budget, your dominant accords, or the accords you're missing. FOR YOU Personalized daily picks rooted in your collection. Your Trifecta — three fragrances built around the notes you love. A seasonal edit that rotates Spring → Summer → Autumn → Winter automatically. A daily layering recommendation matched to the day's mood. All updated every morning. — BUILT FOR PRIVACY — No account required. No sign-up screen. Everything you add stays on your device — your collection, ratings, custom blends, and notes are yours alone. Delete the app or use "Delete all my data" inside Settings and it's gone instantly. — WHO IT'S FOR — Fragrance collectors who own more than three bottles. People stuck wearing the same scent every day. Anyone who's spent $200+ on a fragrance only to wonder if it'd be better with something else from the shelf. New collectors who want guidance instead of paralysis. — AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE — Layer Accordingly LLC is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program.

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.
