Perfumery is the art of expressing your personality through aromas. One of the most subtle aspects of this art is the layering of scents.
Fragrance layering is the process of combining different fragrances to create a unique aroma. This technique has deep historical roots, originating from the Mesopotamian and Egyptian civilizations, where essential oils and resins were blended for religious ceremonies and personal scent culture. By layering perfumes, you can create a unique composition that allows you to stand out from the crowd and prolong the scent's longevity and enhance its intensity.
HOW TO LAYER FRAGRANCE CORRECTLY?
Start with skincare products – Layering starts before you even put on your perfume. Use body washes and lotions that have scents that complement your chosen perfume or are neutral so they don't overpower the main scent.
Layer from heavier to lighter scents – start with richer, heavier aromas and spray lighter scents on top of them. This will help maintain a balance of scents and prevent the lighter notes from being overshadowed.
Use different points on the body – Layering doesn't necessarily mean spraying multiple perfumes on the same spot. To create a multidimensional scent, spray different scents on different surfaces of your body: skin, hair, and clothing.
Experiment with scent families – combine scents from the same or a close scent family. For example, citrus aromas go well with floral notes, while woody scents can be complemented with spicy notes.
Test before use – Always test scent combinations on a small area of skin before spraying heavily. This will allow you to make sure that the aromas blend harmoniously and are not too strong. For optimal effect, depending on the desired effect and the environment, the total number of sprays of perfume together should generally be the same as when using a single scent.
