How Fragrance Layering Works

Step 1

Choose Your Base

Apply the heavier or warmer fragrance first — this anchors the blend. Think woods, orientals, or musks.

Step 2

Add the Accent

Spray the lighter or brighter fragrance on top — citrus, florals, or fresh notes that lift and shape.

Step 3

Let It Unfold

Give them 30 seconds to meld on your skin. The magic happens as they dry down together.

The 3-Step Method

Spray, layer, and let the two scents melt into one signature aura.
