Perfume journal with fragrance tasting log and collection inventory

This perfume journal is for fragrance lovers who want to remember each scent from the very first spray to the final drydown. Across 50 undated pages you get 20 full tasting log pages, 8 quick tasting notes, an original guide to fragrance families, a collection inventory, a tracker for samples and decants, a wishlist, a daily scent log, layering combinations and a reflection on your signature scent. It comes as a PDF in US Letter and A4, ready to download as soon as you order, with nothing posted.

Little by little, your notes reveal the accords you adore, the bottles you actually reach for and the one fragrance that feels most like you.

How a perfume journal helps you understand your taste

Every tasting page guides you through a single fragrance. You note the concentration and family, fill in a pyramid of top, heart and base notes, and record how it smells at first spray, at 30 minutes, at 2 hours and at 6 hours. Then you rate longevity, sillage, season and occasion, give it a score and write your verdict.

If you are new to fragrance, the families wheel, the guide to notes and concentrations and an 80 word scent vocabulary give you the language to describe what you smell. The inventory holds 48 bottles, the sample tracker follows each decant until you choose buy, maybe or pass, and a prioritized wishlist keeps impulse purchases in check.
