Describe a scent through concrete associations and the context in which you noticed it. Instead of "very nice", record what it reminded you of: fresh peel, dry herbs or wood shavings. This is a personal impression, rather than an ingredient analysis or authenticity test.
Start with identity and context
Record the product, manufacturer and date. Note where you encountered the scent: a finished product used as directed, a demonstration or another setting. Keep the package's factual information separate from your own impressions.
This worksheet organizes notes. It does not instruct you how to inhale, apply or test an essential oil. Follow the product's own directions when encountering it.

Five fields for a scent note
| Field | Teaching example |
|---|---|
| Identifier | Sample A, with its complete name recorded separately |
| Association | Reminds me of freshly peeled citrus |
| Character | Dry, green or slightly sweet - choose your own words |
| Context | Date and circumstances of encountering the product |
| Preference | What you liked and what you want to compare |
The example is invented and does not describe a specific oil. Use familiar objects rather than terms you would never normally use. If no association comes to mind, record that uncertainty instead of choosing a word just to fill a field.
Compare your records
Keep separate notes for two products. Read your own description before comparing it with the manufacturer's wording. This helps distinguish your observations from words borrowed from advertising.
Add a dated line for another observation. Do not erase an earlier impression because a later one differs. Record a change in context without declaring one impression correct for everyone.
Use the catalogue alongside your notes
Find the name in the eoASSIST catalogue and keep the entry link with your record. The search walkthrough gives checked examples. You can keep impressions in an ordinary note without assuming the app has a scent-journal feature.
Terminology and boundaries
Oriflame's fragrance guide distinguishes a named scent impression from an actual ingredient. Checked on 11 November 2026. Our worksheet is original editorial material. It does not measure composition, quality, safety or a medical effect.
