Logging a wear
Recording what you wore is the heart of My Cabinet. A wear log tracks not just which fragrance you reached for, but the full context — time of day, weather, occasion, layering, rating — that makes fragrance memories meaningful AND lets SniffBot find patterns in your taste later.
What you'll learn
- How to log a wear in the app, via voice, or via MCP
- Every context field now captured (and which ones auto-stamp)
- How wear context feeds SniffBot correlations
Logging from the Cabinet
The fastest way to log a wear:
- Open My Cabinet (bottom-nav on mobile, menu on desktop) → Bottles.
- Tap the bottle you're wearing, then tap the big Log wear button. Or hit the floating + Log wear FAB (mobile only) to pick from a shortlist.
- Adjust sprays (default 4), occasion, time of day, rating, notes.
- Tap Save. Remaining ml is automatically decremented.
What gets recorded
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
sprays_count | Defaults to 4. Drives the ml-decrement. |
time_of_day | morning, day, evening, night, all_day. If you leave it blank, ScentSell derives it from your saved timezone. |
occasion | casual, work, date_night, event, sport, sample_test, etc. |
weather_temp_c + weather_condition | Auto-stamped at save time from your saved postcode/city via OpenWeather. You can override if you're travelling. Non-fatal if the weather API is unreachable. |
rating | 0–10, optional — decimals are supported, e.g. 7.75. |
notes | Free-form — sillage, drydown, how it felt. Use the compliment flow for compliments so SniffBot can count them. |
layered_with | Other cabinet items you layered this with (normalised in wear_log_items). |
worn_at | Defaults to now. Set a past timestamp for backlog entries. |
Voice logging via MCP (Premium)
Connect Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, or any MCP-compatible AI to
https://mcp.scentsell.com.au/api/mcp. Then:
"I wore Aventus tonight for date night, 4 sprays, felt like nailed it"
The AI calls the log_wear tool for you. Weather auto-stamps from your
saved location. See Connect Claude Desktop.
Why the context matters
SniffBot reads every wear row — time of day, occasion, weather, layering. That's how it can answer:
"What do I actually reach for on humid evenings?"
"Which layering I've done got rated highest?"
"Which fragrance gets worn with a
date_nightoccasion most?"
If the context fields are empty, the answer is a guess. If they're filled in, it's grounded in your own data.
Compliments
If someone notices what you're wearing, log it as a compliment rather than only as a note. Compliments can link to the exact wear, or to the closest same-day wear for that bottle if you log the compliment later.
Examples:
"Someone complimented Corfu this morning. They said it smelled fresh and clean."
"Add a compliment to today's Corfu wear. Source was partner."
See Compliments and share cards.
Backdating a wear
If you forgot to log at the time:
- On the log screen, tap the date field.
- Pick the actual date (and time, if you know it).
- Save normally. Weather is still auto-stamped for that historical date if the weather API supports it; otherwise the fields stay null.
