Formulas, Scent Bases, and the Layering Room

Orrique has two related layering workflows. Formulas keep combinations you already know, while the Layering Room helps you explore what might work with one fragrance.

In short

Use a formula when you want to repeat a combination. Use the Layering Room when you want to discover or compare possible partners.

What each term means

• A formula is a saved recipe with fragrances or bases, application order, sprays, and optional notes.
• A scent base is an oil, lotion, butter, mist, or recurring foundation that you wear under a fragrance and keep outside the normal fragrance collection.
• The Layering Room ranks possible partners for one starting scent using the scent evidence already available in Orrique.

All three work on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Apple Watch can show the active wear through its companion experience, but it does not edit formulas or browse the Layering Room.

Compact formula cards use a softly tinted combined-signature band behind display-sized bottle previews for their overlapping layer stack. The original saved photos remain unchanged for detail views and sharing.

After you log one fragrance, Today can use the same checked pairing evidence for one Try a layer suggestion. Opening it carries the exact displayed fragrance and partner into the Layering Room, where you can inspect or save the combination.

Checked explanations and optional writing

The Layering Room always keeps its checked relationship summary available. Pro can add a private written expansion when the device supports the required Apple Intelligence path. If generated writing is unavailable or cannot be validated against the supplied facts, the checked summary remains the answer.

What happens after you save

A saved pairing becomes a formula. Open it to change order or sprays, favorite it, log it, track it as a live wear, or create a share card. Saving, editing, or deleting a formula causes Today to check any current layering suggestion again. Deleting a formula does not delete its component fragrances, scent bases, or past Diary entries.
