Perfume is not just a fragrance , but also an extension of relaxation, a memory enhancer, and a mood enhancer. Imagine walking into a room and leaving your own trail, a distinctive aura that tells your story without words. That's the secret of layering perfumes .

- In this article, we'll walk you through the steps of layering perfumes , the most effective combinations with the perfumes in our shop, and even provide you with a Mood Wheel to help you match scents with emotions.

I- Why layer perfumes? 🌙🌞

By combining perfumes, you can:

• Increase duration: Some perfumes last a short time when applying more than one, the fragrance lasts all day.
• Add dimension: Adding different notes to your fragrance will give it a three-dimensional feel.
• Reflect your mood and personality: Whether it's for a romantic evening or a full day, your scent will match how you feel.
• Stand out: No one will have a similar distinctive layered scent, so they won't get your scent.

Blending is a science, an art, and an experiment . It's about learning about the notes, intensity, and interaction of perfumes.

II- Comprehension notes

The perfumes are structured in three layers:

• Top notes: Light and volatile, the first impression. Examples: floral, citrus, or fruity.
• Heart notes: The personality of the perfume. Examples: rose, oud, spices.
• Base notes: The long-lasting impression, which is usually full and deep. Examples: amber, musk, vanilla, and oud.

When layering, consider how the notes interact with each other. A light top note and a rich base can create a balanced, long-lasting fragrance.

III- Layers according to the mood and the occasion 💖

- Here are some quick examples:

• Romantic date: Soft floral + gourmand (sweet)
• Intense Night: Intense Oud + Spicy Amber
• Cozy Day at Home: Vanilla + Musk
• Fresh and energetic: Citrus + light floral

IV- The best layer combinations

💡 Tip: Always test several times on your wrist before deciding. Perfumes can interact differently depending on your skin chemistry.

VI- Step-by-Step Guide: How to Make Layers

3- To finish, spray with a milder perfume to intensify the aroma.

4- Use strategically: neck, wrists, and inner elbows. Don't rub, as this will alter the scent.

5- Test and adjust: Take a 30-minute walk and notice the difference in the scent next time, adjust the combinations.
