Scent Layering to Get Your Perfect Fragrance
Scent layering is a fun and creative way to form a more personalised scent. Layering perfume can be compared to mixing colours as the results can be completely customised to what you like. Even big celebrities like Billie Eilish love to experiment with combining different perfumes. Ready to try it for yourself?
Before you go ahead and buy fragrances online for your scent-layering experience, you should have a clear idea about which scents pair well together. In this article, twe’re unpacking our top tips for scent layering with our fragrances.
Combine Fragrances With At Least One Common Note
When combining fragrances, try to make sure that the scents you’re using have at least one common note if you want the end result to smell cohesive.
What about single-note perfumes? The same rule applies! You can bring out the scent of a single-note perfume by combining it with a fragrance that has the same note.
Spray Heavier Scents First
When you spray heavier scents before lighter scents, it helps the latter maintain their scent profile. While two lighter scents can offer great results, you should avoid pairing two heavy fragrances together (trust us on this!).
What Scents Should I Pair Together?
Not sure where to start? Here are a few additional tips when it comes to the types of perfumes that pair well together:
- Floral notes pair well with most other notes: Fragrances with floral notes are a good starting point as they pair well with most other notes.
- Earthy scents pair well with fruity scents: Musk, woody, and amber notes tend to pair well with fruity and citrus scents.
It’s Uniquely Yours
Remember that everyone’s nose is different. Have fun with experimenting and you’re bound to come up with a combo that’s perfect for you.
