Why this worksLayering fragrances allows you to create a bespoke scent that reflects your personality. By combining different notes, you can enhance the longevity and complexity of your fragrance, making it more interesting. This technique helps ensure that your scent evolves throughout the day, keeping it fresh and engaging. Plus, it’s a fun way to experiment with your collection!

The ritual, step by step

Choose Your Base Start with a light, fresh fragrance as your base. This is usually a floral or citrus scent that embodies the essence of spring. Apply it generously to pulse points like wrists and behind the ears.
Add a Complementary Scent Select a second fragrance that complements your base. Think of notes that harmonise, like a soft vanilla or sandalwood if your base is floral. Lightly spritz this over the base scent for added depth.
Mix Textures Consider incorporating a scented body lotion or oil that aligns with your chosen fragrances. Apply this after your base scent to add moisture and extend the fragrance's lifespan.
Finish with a Mist Complete your layering with a light spritz of a coordinating body mist. This helps to unify the scents and gives an airy freshness that’s perfect for spring.

Where people go wrong

Many people layer too many scents, which can overwhelm rather than enhance. Others may not allow each layer to settle before adding the next, resulting in a muddled aroma. Also, applying too much of any fragrance can lead to an overpowering scent. Remember, less can be more!

The pro moveExperiment with layering unexpected scents; you might discover a new favourite combo that’s uniquely yours.
