Scentfolio - Perfume Collection & Wear Log
Scentfolio is a private notebook for fragrance lovers. It keeps a catalogue of the perfumes you own — name, house, concentration (parfum, EDP, EDT, EDC, oil or other), bottle size, how full it is, how many bottles you have, your rating, notes and accords, and a photo — and a daily log of what you actually wore.
Logging a "scent of the day" takes a couple of taps. You can pick more than one fragrance to record a layering combination, note the scene or weather and how long it lasted, and add a memo or photo. A calendar shows what you wore on each day, and simple statistics show your collection size and the concentrations you own.
It is not a perfume search engine: there is no database to browse and no account. Everything you enter stays in your browser, which makes it a quiet, personal record for collectors with a handful of bottles or a few hundred.
The app runs entirely in your browser. What you enter is saved only on this device.
How to use Scentfolio
- Add a perfume. On the Collection tab tap Add Perfume. Enter the name and house, choose the concentration, and optionally add the bottle size, number of bottles, fill level, rating, notes, accords and a photo. Tap Save.
- Organise your shelf. Switch between Owned and Retired to keep finished or sold bottles separate. Use the grid or list view, sort options, search, and the heart icon for your wishlist.
- Log your scent of the day. Open the Calendar tab and add a wear log. Select one or more fragrances (several means a layering combo), set the date, and optionally note the scene or weather, longevity, a memo and a photo.
- Look back. The calendar marks days you wore something; tap a day to see the entries.
- See your stats. The Stats tab shows how many perfumes you own and in total, and the split by concentration.
- Set preferences. In Settings choose your currency for prices, a light, dark or system theme, and the display language.

A short guide to perfume types, notes and wearing habits
Concentrations
Fragrance strength depends on how much perfume oil is dissolved in alcohol. Typical ranges are roughly: parfum or extrait 20–30%, eau de parfum (EDP) 15–20%, eau de toilette (EDT) 5–15% and eau de cologne (EDC) 2–5%. Higher concentration usually means a longer-lasting, closer-to-the-skin scent, but the formula matters as much as the label — some EDTs outlast EDPs.
Top, heart and base notes
Perfumes change as they dry down. Top notes, often citrus or light herbs, are what you smell in the first minutes. Heart (middle) notes such as florals and spices take over after a while. Base notes like woods, musk, vanilla and resins last the longest and anchor the scent. Accords describe the overall impression — floral, woody, citrus, oriental or amber, gourmand, fresh — and are a handy way to tag a collection.
Why keep a wear log
Writing down what you wore, where and in what weather quickly reveals patterns: the scents you reach for in summer, the ones that last on your skin, and the bottles you never actually use. That is useful when deciding what to finish, sell or swap, and before buying a new full bottle. Noting longevity in your own words is often more reliable than reviews, because skin chemistry, climate and how much you spray all differ.
Storing perfume
Heat, light and air break fragrance down. Keep bottles in a cool, dark place away from windows and bathrooms, with the caps on. Tracking fill level helps you notice which bottles to enjoy before they change. When layering, start with one spray of each and let the heavier scent go on first.
Testing a new fragrance
Before buying a full bottle, try a sample on skin rather than paper and wear it for a whole day; the dry-down several hours later often decides whether you like it. Test no more than two or three scents at once, and smell coffee beans or plain skin between them only if it helps you — fresh air works just as well.
Frequently asked questions
Is Scentfolio free in the browser?
Yes, without an account. The free version keeps up to 15 perfumes, 5 wishlist entries and one photo per record; the phone app's Premium removes these limits and adds detailed stats and export.
Where is my collection stored?
Only in this browser on this device — text in its built-in database and photos in its local storage. Nothing is uploaded. Clearing site data for this website or using a private window deletes everything.
Can I look up a perfume's notes automatically?
No. Scentfolio is a personal record, not a perfume database; you type the notes and accords you care about.
How do I record layering?
When adding a wear log, select more than one perfume. The entry is saved as a layering combination.
Can I export my data?
JSON backup and CSV export are part of Premium in the iPhone and Android app; they are not available on the web.
How is the web version different from the phone app?
Cataloguing and logging work the same way, within the free limits. Premium is sold only in the app; purchases are not available on the web.
