Shared patterns
Aggregate first-party community perception, clearly labeled with population and context when available.
GLOBAL / ME
The crowd can describe a pattern. You can still disagree.
SmellBook’s future personal layer is designed to keep aggregate perception and individual experience visible side by side.
Your own map
A personal layer built from your explicit interactions and saved associations—not a claim that one profile explains you completely.
Likes / dislikes
Simple preference signals can gradually shape a personal map.
Emotion ratings
A smell can feel calming to one person and uncomfortable to another.
Color associations
Cross-sensory choices can become part of how a person describes smell.
Saved smells
Collections reveal repeated preferences without requiring a personality label.
Memories
Personal context can matter as much as general community patterns.
Personal perception should be editable, explainable and allowed to change.
The future profile should learn from explicit activity rather than present opaque personality judgments as fact.
