anyone else a data nerd about their fragrances?
i’d love to hear what details you keep track of and how!
for me, some of the most useful data are:
- source (e.g., online platform or person’s name)
- estimated fill level at time of acquisition (i often get partial bottles)
- cost/mL
- bottle’s full volume
- size (sample, mini, travel, full)
- dispenser (atomizer, splash, dabber vial, applicator wand)
- date decanted
- date gifted or returned to someone
- date emptied

i’ll pull a unique list of perfumes (no extra weight given to duplicates), filtering out emptied or removed scents, which i then pass to a randomizer formula to pick a perfume to wear.
generally speaking, i can grab a list based on any of the aforementioned characteristics to make a new “pool” from which i want to select my scent(s) of the day, like if i want focus on a certain segment of my collection (e.g., low-fill mini splash bottles that i got for free).

overall, lots of these things could be garnered without quantative data, but the fun part for me is that it’s more concrete :)
