THE ART OF SCENT LAYERING

THE ART OF SCENT LAYERING

In the world of perfumery, individuality is a treasure. While many fragrances can captivate, the art of scent layering offers a unique opportunity to create a truly personal and memorable aromatic signature. Imagine a fragrance that is as distinctive as you are, leaving an indelible impression wherever you go. This is the magic of scent layering.

Our Body Oil x Perfumes layer beautifully together. Read on to learn how to master scent layering with our scents.  

What is Scent Layering?

Scent layering is the practice of combining different fragrances to create a bespoke scent. By blending various notes, you can craft a complex and multi-dimensional fragrance that evolves beautifully throughout the day and is individual to you.

How to Master Scent Layering

  1. Begin with a Clean Canvas: Start with freshly cleansed skin to ensure the true essence of each Body Oil x Perfume shines through without interference.
  2. Choose a Base Scent: Select a base scent that will be the foundation of your layered fragrance. Opt for a strong and lasting scent. As our Body Oil x Perfumes are oil based, the scents offer much better longevity & projection than traditional perfumes.
  3. Add Complementary Notes: Choose additional scents that complement your base. For example, pair floral notes with woody notes for a elegant blend, oud notes with gourmand for sophistication or floral notes with spicy notes for a grounded aroma. 
  4. Experiment and Play: Don't be afraid to try different combinations and ratios. You can apply even layers of both oils or more or less of one. For example, you can apply a layer of the first body oil all over your body and apply the second body oil on pulse points only. Trust your instincts and let your nose guide you. 
  5. Give It Time: Allow each layer to dry before adding the next. This ensures the scents blend harmoniously.
