Your Collection

Collection holds fragrances you own, are trying, want, or have archived. This guide covers adding, browsing, selecting, and opening a scent. Container tracking, stock, shelves, and the Wardrobe now have focused guides of their own.

Find a fragrance

Search, filter, sort, and save a reusable collection view.

Open Search and Filtering

Add a fragrance

1. Open Collection and tap the add button.
2. Choose how to begin: enter details, use Find details, or use Read Bottle on iPhone or iPad.
3. Set the status, format, concentration, notes, and any personal details you know.
4. Add a container if you want to track the physical bottle, sample, decant, or tester.
5. Tap Save.

You can save a partial record and fill gaps later. Catalog suggestions are drafts, so review the proposed fragrance before saving. See Read Bottle for the camera flow.

Brand and fragrance name changes appear in the bottle preview as you type. Notes, accords, family, and scent color settle together after a short pause, which keeps longer edits responsive while preserving one consistent saved classification.

Manual adding and editing work without a network connection. Public catalog matching can wait until you are online. Once a catalog image is saved with an owned scent, it becomes a normal journal photo and stays available offline. See Device Storage and Offline Use.

When you add or replace a bottle photo on iPhone or iPad, Add Photo and Replace Photo open a compact menu with Photo Library, Choose File, and Paste Image. Photo Library then opens one full-screen system picker and returns to the same fragrance draft after you choose or cancel. If a selected photo cannot finish transferring within 20 seconds, Orrique shows a retry message instead of leaving the draft waiting.

Quick-log a try

When you only sampled something and do not want to create a full record yet, use the quick try action from the add flow. Enter the minimum identity and your immediate impression. Orrique places it with your Trials so you can decide later.

Browse as a grid or a list

Open the View menu to choose the layout that fits the screen:

• Grid shows compact cards and quick actions.
• Gallery gives bottle artwork more space.
• List offers comfortable, compact, and dense rows.
• Table appears on wide iPad and Mac layouts and supports sorting, selectable columns, and inline editing for supported fields.

Your layout, density, row details, visible table columns, and saved searches sync across devices. Table header arrangement on Mac (the order you drag headers into, and any header you hide from the header’s context menu) stays with that Mac, because it describes the Mac table specifically. At accessibility text sizes, Collection temporarily uses a readable one-column layout without changing your saved preference.

Collection uses saved photo details to prepare its layouts, then loads bottle image bytes only when a visible surface needs them. Opening Collection does not need to open every saved cover image first. A visible bottle stays in place during photo metadata refreshes instead of switching through a placeholder.

Grid cards prepare a lifted drag preview only after you begin dragging that card. Table rows are prepared only while Table is the active layout. Switching between layouts keeps the same collection and saved view settings.

Select several at once

In a supported list or table layout, choose Select, mark fragrances, then use the action bar to:

• favorite them
• move them to or remove them from a shelf
• set status, format, container state, or journey decision
• delete them

Changing a filter removes hidden items from the selection, so a batch action only affects the fragrances still shown.

Search and filter

Use the search field for brand, name, notes, accords, tags, family, or shelf. The main modes separate Owned, Bottles, Trials, Wishlist, Archive, and All.

Owned is the practical sprayable shelf. It includes every bottle, tester, decant, or sample that still has usable stock. Empty, let-go, archived, wishlist, and tried-only entries stay out. All is now a single complete active-catalog view without a second status submenu that repeats the main modes.

The filter menu adds family, perfumer, shelves, notes, favorites, missing details, rating, decade, price, and sorting controls where enough data exists. You can save the complete view and restore it later.

The full behavior lives in Search and Filtering.

Auto-fill missing details

Use the Needs details filter, then choose Auto-fill all to look for shared catalog information. Fragrances without a reliable match stay unchanged so you can complete them by hand.

Open a scent’s details

Tap a fragrance to open its details page. From there you can log a wear, edit facts, favorite it, share a card, mark a dupe, find similar scents, manage containers, or delete it.

The scent family is normally calculated from its notes. You can override it or reclassify after editing notes. See Fragrance Details for the full page guide.

Adding, editing, or deleting a fragrance also refreshes collection-based suggestions on Today and the lightweight state used by widgets and Apple Watch. If the latest wear shows Try a layer, Today checks the partner again instead of keeping a suggestion based on the old collection. Saving or changing a formula also refreshes the Watch formula list.

Track your bottles and samples (containers)

Use the Your journey section on a fragrance to add every physical bottle, sample, decant, or tester. Container state determines what is currently on hand and can influence the fragrance status.

Open Containers and Stock

Finish the bottle

The optional Finish the bottle card on Today highlights held containers that are at least 80 percent used, plus owned scents that have gone quiet. This is separate from the configurable shelf low-stock threshold in Settings.

Try a sample, then decide

Trials can hold samples, decants, testers, and quick tries while you decide. Journey decisions such as Curious, Want a bottle, and Not for me keep the next step visible without changing the fragrance facts.

Use the To decide filter to collect sampled items that still need a decision.

Organize into shelves and the Wardrobe

Shelves group scents around a place, mood, season, project, or any system you choose. The Wardrobe gives those shelves a visual layout. Shelf membership, shelf layouts, and saved searches sync through iCloud.

Open Shelves and Wardrobe

Rediscovery (the Resting shelf)

The Resting shelf is an automatic rediscovery view for available fragrances you have not worn recently. It does not move or retag the fragrances.

Pack for a trip

Create a temporary capsule from owned scents, then share or use it as a packing checklist. See Pack for a Trip.

Good to know

• Deleting a fragrance removes its photos, but keeps diary history where possible.
• Hide Prices removes price details from Collection and applicable value and share surfaces.
• Changes appear optimistically and sync through iCloud in the background.
• If durable journal storage cannot be read, Orrique keeps the current collection view instead of replacing it from an older recovery mirror. Data and Sync reports the problem and retries through the next foreground or manual refresh.
• On a returning device, Collection keeps its loading state while the first authoritative iCloud rows arrive instead of treating a temporary empty local view as a new blank cabinet.
• A fragrance can have several containers with different formats, prices, and states.

Keep the record useful, not perfect

Start with the identity and status you know. Notes, photos, containers, shelves, and prices can be added later.
