🧠 What Is Fragrance Layering?

Fragrance layering is the art of combining two or more perfumes to create a custom scent that’s completely your own. Think of it like creating your own personal blend—something no one else is wearing.

It’s also a great way to:

• Boost longevity

• Add depth to lighter fragrances

• Make seasonal favorites wearable year-round

• Match your scent to your mood

🔍 Understanding Notes: Top, Middle & Base

To mix fragrances well, you need to understand how they’re built:

• Top Notes: First impression (citrus, fruit, fresh greens)

• Middle Notes: Heart of the fragrance (floral, spice, herbs)

• Base Notes: Foundation (wood, amber, vanilla, musk)

Layering tip: Start with the lighter, fresher scent (usually top-heavy) and finish with a deeper, richer fragrance for balance and dimension.

⚖️ Do’s and Don’ts of Layering

✅ Do:

• Start with two scents.

• Use complementary notes (woody + sweet, fresh + warm, floral + musky).

• Apply one on skin and another on clothes or hair to test longevity and projection.

❌ Don’t:

• Mix two overly complex scents unless you know they blend well.

• Rub your wrists together—it can “crush” the top notes.

• Over-apply. Layering should still be subtle and elegant.
