The Art of Layering Scents: How to Layer Your Perfumes

Think of each perfume as an individual scent profile. When you layer perfumes, you're essentially combining these profiles to create a new, multi-dimensional fragrance.

The base layer acts as the foundation, providing depth and longevity.
The middle layer adds complexity and character, while the top layer finishes the scent with a touch of lightness and brightness.

The Symphony Begins: Choosing Your Layering Palette

Ready to delve into the world of layering scents? Here's a roadmap to guide you:

• Understanding Fragrance Families: Familiarise yourself with the different fragrance families – floral, oriental, citrus, woody, etc. Layering scents from complementary families helps create a harmonious blend.
• Start Simple: As a beginner, start with two fragrances. Experiment with layering a fresh citrus scent as your base with a warm, spicy oriental as your top layer.
• Consider Concentration: Perfumes come in varying concentrations, like Eau de Parfum (EDP) or Eau de Toilette (EDT). Generally, use a stronger fragrance (EDP) as your base and a lighter one (EDT) as your top layer.
