What is perfume layering?
Perfume layering is wearing two or more perfumes together, so that they blend into a scent that is yours alone. You spray them on top of each other or next to each other on your skin. A simple, warm scent with a brighter one on top is the easiest way to start.

How to start with layering
- Start with two scents, not three. One spray of each is enough to test.
- Spray the heaviest scent first and the lightest one over it. Otherwise the light scent gets lost.
- Combine a simple base, such as musk, vanilla or wood, with something brighter, such as citrus or flowers.
- Two busy scents together quickly become too much. Keep at least one of the two simple.
- Try a combination on your skin and wait an hour. Only then do you smell what the two do together.
