The Diary and Logging a Wear
The Diary records what you wore and how it performed. Those entries build your streak, history, recap, and Scent Atlas insights.
Log a wear
Section titled “Log a wear”- Open Diary and choose the add button. You can also start from Today, a fragrance page, a widget, Siri, Shortcuts, or Apple Watch.
- Under Scents, choose at least one fragrance that is currently wearable.
- Add any context you want.
- Choose Save.
The picker excludes Wishlist, archived, used up, let go, and other unavailable entries. Add or update a container first if the wearable list is empty.
Optional details
Section titled “Optional details”| Detail | What it records |
|---|---|
| Worn on | Today or an earlier date |
| Scents | One fragrance or a layered wear |
| Sprays and placement | Amount and one or more application zones |
| Ritual | Occasion, activity, mood, season, compliments, or comments |
| Performance | Rating, longevity, projection, and sillage |
| Weather | Conditions, temperature, and humidity entered manually or from current location |
| Notes and photos | Free text and optional images |
Use a saved preset when you often repeat the same occasion, activity, spray count, and placement. Applying a preset fills those fields for a new wear and leaves the rest for you to review. It does not save the wear until you choose Save.
Accept a suggested prefill
Section titled “Accept a suggested prefill”Suggested chips can offer an occasion, mood, placement, or typical performance from your own wear history and current context. A chip fills only the field you tap. It never saves or changes the entry by itself.
Suggested prefills are free and do not need Apple Intelligence. A new journal may show none until there is enough history.
Set the mood, and optionally save it to Apple Health
Section titled “Set the mood, and optionally save it to Apple Health”On iPhone and iPad, setting a mood reveals an option to save it as a State of Mind in Apple Health. The first use asks for Health permission. If the Health copy fails, the Diary entry remains saved and Orrique offers a route to the relevant system setting.
Add a moment
Section titled “Add a moment”On iPhone, Add a moment opens Apple’s Journaling Suggestions picker. Only the moment you choose is shared with Orrique. It can represent a place, event, memory, or logged State of Mind, and you can remove it from the draft before saving.
Track a wear live
Section titled “Track a wear live”A live session follows one fragrance or formula through its dry down and keeps optional check-ins with the final Diary entry. Only one live session can be active at a time across synced Orrique devices.
Open Live Wear Sessions for the complete start, check-in, end, discard, Lock Screen, and Apple Watch workflow.
Rate and reflect
Section titled “Rate and reflect”Rate the same day
Section titled “Rate the same day”Open an unrated entry and use its rating card. Rating changes save immediately. Longevity, projection, and sillage save when you finish adjusting their controls. Use Edit later if you want to change the recorded values.
Rate the next day
Section titled “Rate the next day”The Diary can offer recent wears that still need a next day rating. Open Rate Yesterday, review one wear, then save or skip it. A skipped wear is not offered again.
Same day and next day ratings remain separate. One records the immediate experience, while the other records how the scent settled and lasted.
Add a reflection
Section titled “Add a reflection”Open an entry to add compliments, a note to your future self, or a short reflection. On iPhone and iPad, the row action can open a focused reflection sheet without leaving the feed.
On a supported device, Recap this week can create an editable on-device summary after you have enough wears. The draft is not saved automatically. See AI Written Reads.
Browse and manage entries
Section titled “Browse and manage entries”Tap a row to see its fragrances, application, performance, live check-ins, reflections, weather, and photos. The options menu can share, edit, repeat, or delete the entry.
If the system closes Orrique while a saved entry is open, the next launch can restore that Diary detail after the journal is ready. This restoration covers the saved entry route, not a temporary sheet or an unsaved form. See Device Storage and Offline Use.
The monthly digest begins with a softly tinted band derived from the combined signature of your collection. It is a visual summary, not a filter or a change to any Diary entry.
To add a photo to an existing entry on iPhone or iPad, open the entry options and choose Add photo, then Photo Library. One full-screen system picker returns to the same Diary entry after you choose or cancel. If the selected photo cannot finish transferring within 20 seconds, Orrique shows a retry message instead of leaving the entry waiting. Camera and Files remain separate choices.
Bottle photos in logging controls and compact Diary rows use a display-sized preview. Orrique keeps the saved original unchanged for detail views, editing, backup, and sharing.
- Edit reopens all saved fields.
- Log again copies the reusable wear details into a new draft for today. It does not save until you confirm.
- Delete removes the entry after confirmation and cannot be undone.
- Share entry opens Share Studio with that wear as the subject.
Use Diary search for scent names and recorded context. The filter menu can narrow by occasion, season, activity, rating, or photos, and can switch between newest and oldest first. Active filters appear as removable chips.
What syncs
Section titled “What syncs”With iCloud Sync on, saved entries, ratings, reflections, photos, and the active session follow your journal on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Logging presets and system permissions stay on the device where you set them. Apple Watch saves through the paired iPhone.
See iCloud and Sync for the complete boundary.
