Scent profile
On-device AI Features
Orrique includes a small set of features that use Apple Intelligence to read your own collection and diary back to you, write first drafts you can edit, and help you add bottles by photo. Everything here runs on your device. Your scents, wears, and notes are not sent to a server for these features, and the drafts are never posted anywhere automatically. This article covers the scent profile, the Scent Twin recommendations, the review and weekly recap draft writers, the wear and shelf reads, and photo import.

When to use this
Section titled “When to use this”Reach for these features when you want Orrique to do a little of the thinking for you:
- You want a warm, written read of your taste, your week, or one shelf.
- You want a first-draft review of a fragrance you already wear, built from your own diary.
- You want fresh recommendations based on what you actually reach for.
- You want to add a bottle quickly by pointing your camera at the label.
If a feature does not appear for you, the most common reason is that Apple Intelligence is not turned on, your device does not support it, or you do not have enough logged data yet. The “Good to know” section explains each case.
How to use it
Section titled “How to use it”Scent profile
Section titled “Scent profile”Pro The scent profile is a short written read of your taste, built from what you own and what you actually wear. It gives you a persona title, a few sentences on what you gravitate toward, a note on what you own but rarely wear, a read of your style, and a suggestion for a type of scent to explore next.
- Own at least 3 fragrances and log at least 3 wears, with clear families and notes.
- Make sure Apple Intelligence is turned on for your device.
- Open the Scent Atlas tab and switch to the Map lens.
- Read the “Your scent profile” card near the top.
The profile is grounded only in your real data. It is written to lean on patterns rather than fortune-telling, and it will not invent fragrance names.
Scent Twin recommendations
Section titled “Scent Twin recommendations”Free Scent Twin learns your taste from your collection and diary, then ranks catalog fragrances you do not already own by how well they fit. It is free and runs entirely on your device, with no model download.
- Own at least 3 fragrances that have notes entered.
- Open the Discover tab.
- Look at the “For you” section near the top (marked with a sparkles icon and the line “Scents like the ones you reach for”).
- Scroll the row and tap any card to see the full fragrance and add it to your wishlist or collection.
Each pick is scored from your notes, the descriptors those notes carry, accords, and family, so a different note that shares the same character can still match. Fragrances without notes are skipped, and only scents you do not already own are suggested.
Draft a review
Section titled “Draft a review”Free This writes a clean first-person review of a fragrance you own, drawn only from your own logged wears. It produces a one-line verdict, a short review, a “best for” line, and sometimes a note about what is missing from your diary that would sharpen the review.
- Open a fragrance you own that has at least 2 logged wears, with either a rating or written notes.
- Tap “Draft a review” on the fragrance page (a quote icon).
- Wait a moment while it drafts on device. You can keep using the app while it runs.
- Read the draft, then edit the text freely.
- Tap Copy to copy it, or Share to open the system share sheet. Tap Done to close.
If there is a “what is missing” note, it appears as a clearly separated line you can trim before you copy or share.
This week recap
Section titled “This week recap”Free This is a short read of your past week of wearing: which scent you reached for most, whether there was a clear repeat or a tie, and the lean of the week.
- Log at least 2 wears in the last 7 days.
- Open the Diary tab.
- Open the toolbar menu and tap “Recap this week” (a sparkles icon). It only appears when Apple Intelligence is available and you have enough recent wears.
- Read the title and body, then edit the text freely.
- Tap Copy or Share to export it. Tap Done to close.
The week is a rolling window of the last 7 days. If the week is light on wears, the recap says so plainly and frames it as an early read rather than a firm pattern.
Wear Coach note on Today’s pick
Section titled “Wear Coach note on Today’s pick”Pro On the Today screen, your suggested pick can carry a short, practical one-line reason to wear it today. The app chooses the scent and supplies the context (occasion, weather, and season when available), and the model writes only the one line.
- Make sure you are on Pro and Apple Intelligence is turned on.
- Open the Today screen and look at the “Today’s pick” card.
- When a written reason is generated, a small “Wear Coach, on device” label appears below it.
If Apple Intelligence is off, the card still shows a plain reason for the pick, so nothing is missing.
Scent Librarian read of a shelf
Section titled “Scent Librarian read of a shelf”Pro When you open one shelf in your wardrobe, Orrique can write a short two to three sentence read of that shelf: what connects the bottles, what stands out, and what the shelf is for.
- Make sure you are on Pro and Apple Intelligence is turned on.
- Open the Collection tab, open your shelves, and tap one shelf that has at least 2 fragrances.
- Read the “Scent Librarian” card on the shelf page. It generates on its own when you open the shelf.
The read is grounded only in the names, families, and favorites on that shelf. It does not rank the bottles or recommend purchases.
Add a bottle by photo
Section titled “Add a bottle by photo”3 free then Pro When you add a fragrance, you can scan the bottle or box instead of typing. Orrique reads the label on device, looks for a packaging barcode, and prefills the form with the brand, name, concentration, notes, and bottle size it found, so you can review and edit before saving. You get 3 free scans, then scanning is part of Pro.
- Open the Add Fragrance screen.
- Tap “Scan the bottle” (a camera icon).
- Choose Take Photo, Choose from Library, or Choose File. You can also drop an image onto the control.
- Wait while Orrique reads the label.
- Review the prefilled fields and edit anything that is off, then save.
You get 3 free scans, then scanning is part of Pro. When you are out of free scans, the control changes to “Scan more bottles with Pro” and opens the upgrade screen.
What to expect
Section titled “What to expect”- The written features (scent profile, review, weekly recap, wear and shelf reads) are first drafts grounded in your real data. They are meant to be read and edited, not treated as facts. The model is told to use only what you have logged and never to invent fragrance names.
- The review and weekly recap open in an editable composer. You can rewrite the text, then Copy or Share. Nothing is posted on your behalf.
- Drafts are not saved. If you close the review or recap composer without Copy or Share, the text is discarded, and reopening it generates a fresh draft from scratch.
- The written drafts are free to run again as often as you like. Only photo import is metered (3 free scans, then Pro); regenerating any of the written features never uses a scan.
- The scent profile, the Today wear note, and the shelf read appear as cards in place. They are read-only narrative; there is no separate copy or share step for them.
- Scent Twin updates as your collection and diary grow, since it relearns your taste from your data.
- Photo import gives you a starting point to review. Because reading a label is not perfect, always check the brand, name, notes, and concentration before saving.
- Because these are generated, running the same feature again may produce slightly different wording even with the same data.
Requirements at a glance
Section titled “Requirements at a glance”One place to check every gate per feature. The data thresholds exist so a feature never makes something up from too little; below them, the feature stays hidden.
| Feature | Plan | Minimum data | Needs Apple Intelligence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scent profile | Pro | 3 fragrances, 3 logged wears, identifiable families | Yes |
| Scent Twin | Free | 3 fragrances with notes entered | No |
| Draft a review | Free | An owned fragrance, 2 logged wears, plus rating or notes | Yes |
| This week recap | Free | 2 wears logged in the last 7 days | Yes |
| Wear Coach note | Pro | A daily pick on the Today screen | Yes (plain reason without it) |
| Scent Librarian | Pro | A shelf with at least 2 fragrances | Yes |
| Add a bottle by photo | 3 free scans, then Pro | A photo of the label | For brand/name cleanup only |
Good to know
Section titled “Good to know”Apple Intelligence must be available
Section titled “Apple Intelligence must be available”The written features and the AI part of photo import need Apple Intelligence turned on. Apple Intelligence is a system setting on your device, not a switch inside Orrique, and it needs a supported device. If it is off, still downloading, or your device does not support it, Orrique shows a clear status and quietly falls back:
| Apple Intelligence state | What Orrique does |
|---|---|
| Off | You will be prompted to turn on Apple Intelligence in your device Settings |
| Still preparing or downloading | The feature waits, and the manual tools keep working |
| Not supported on your device | Orrique uses its manual and built-in helpers instead, so nothing breaks |
When the written features cannot run, their buttons and cards simply do not appear, or a card explains that a draft could not be made. For which devices and versions qualify, see Device Support.
What needs Pro
Section titled “What needs Pro”Photo import includes 3 free scans. After that, scanning more bottles is part of Pro. When your free scans run out, the scan control on the Add Fragrance screen changes to “Scan more bottles with Pro” and opens the upgrade screen. On Pro, the Read Bottle row in Settings shows “Unlimited”. See Orrique Pro for everything Pro unlocks.
Photo import details
Section titled “Photo import details”- Label reading works best on English, French, Italian, Spanish, and German labels.
- It can read a packaging barcode (common retail and QR codes) to help match the exact product.
- The AI step that cleans up the brand and name only runs when you have not typed a brand or name hint yourself, and only when Apple Intelligence is available. Without it, Orrique still reads the label and fills the form.
- Concentration recognition covers common types such as EDP, EDT, EDC, Extrait, Parfum, and oil.
- A camera is needed for the camera option; on a device without one you can still pick an image from your library or files.
Privacy and App Lock
Section titled “Privacy and App Lock”These features read your own data and generate locally, so they sit comfortably inside your privacy settings. If you use App Lock, it gates the whole app, including these features. Price-aware reads (such as cost-per-wear context) follow your Hide Prices setting like the rest of the app. See Privacy and App Lock.
Sync and iCloud
Section titled “Sync and iCloud”These features read your data where it lives on your device and generate their results locally. The drafts and reads themselves are not synced between your devices, and they are not stored in your backup. If you use iCloud sync and you are on a new device, give your collection and diary a moment to finish syncing first, since these features depend on that data being present. If a feature looks empty right after setup, your scents may still be loading rather than missing.
Apple Watch
Section titled “Apple Watch”These on-device AI features are not available on Apple Watch. Use your iPhone, iPad, or Mac for them.
A note for catalog curators
If you help curate the shared note glossary, the note editor has a “Fill with AI” button that drafts encyclopedia fields for a note for you to review. This is part of the curator tools and is not shown to general users. See Community and Contributions for the curator workflow.
