Separate Verified Product Facts From Personal Preferences
A product fact and a personal preference answer different questions. Separating them makes a fragrance notebook clearer without requiring technical language or a complicated rating system.
Read the note ↓
NOTE 01
Define the record
Make one column for reliable product information: exact identity, maker, format, and source. Record a composition or certification statement only when it is supported for that exact product.
NOTE 02
Keep facts together
Use a second column for your own appropriate paper observations. Write the date, sample source, and subjective impressions without converting them into claims about ingredients or performance on skin.
NOTE 03
Review what is missing
Review a few entries and move misplaced statements into the right column. A maker’s descriptive note list belongs with its source; your interpretation of it belongs with your own observations.
NOTE 04
Make the next step clear
Mark unresolved questions separately and decide whether clarification is needed. You can prefer an impression while still leaving a product fact unverified, without treating either column as proof of the other.
Before you go.
What is the most useful detail to remember?
Keep the source of a statement visible beside the statement itself.
What should I establish before starting?
Make one column for reliable product information: exact identity, maker, format, and source. Record a composition or certification statement only when it is supported for that exact product.
