It is more than a collection of perfumes that makes up a perfume wardrobe. A layering or 'cocktailing' technique can transform your collection, no matter how avid a collector you are or how tight-knit you prefer things to be.
Create a truly unique piece for your collection.
Combining two or more perfumes creates a unique and personalised fragrance by layering. Besides letting your creativity run wild, it also offers many practical benefits - including the opportunity to enhance and reinvent what you already own. There's nothing stopping you from blending any two fragrances. Mixing like-for-like — perfumes with the same or similar characteristics — can result in perfect harmony. The most spectacular results, however, can be obtained by combining scents of opposite styles.
The core premise is straightforward: rich, heavy aromas mix well with light and fresh scents. In other words, woods and ambers with fresh and flowery notes. In theory, it's a continuation of the Olfactive Pyramid, differentiating lighter top notes from heavier base notes. Rich scent with woods, resinoids, and spices makes an excellent basis and should be applied first to the skin. Apply on heated pulse spots on the body for optimal effects. Following that, a light and fresh fragrance with citrous, floral, fruit, and aquatic notes should be sprayed over the top.
In essence, scents with a lighter profile tend to sit above those with a deep and rich character. Fragrances that complement one other emerge more evenly on the skin, and it is precisely this contrast that enables for something fresh and exciting to emerge. Layering allows us to create something genuinely unique. We can discover something freshly different, engaging, and complicated by blending fragrances in new and inventive ways. It's a technique for creating a fragrance that stands out from the crowd, a fantastic new unique perfume on the horizon.
Wearing different perfumes at the same time might also help you last longer. When two scents interact, they can boost one another's effectiveness, resulting in a longer-lasting aroma – ideal for longer days or when a fast on-the-spot touch up isn't possible. Finally, perfume layering expands our horizons. It has the ability to double — even quadruple — our wardrobe, bringing fresh energy to an otherwise mundane rotation. Layering allows for the creation of numerous new scents from a single new addition. And, most of all, each invention is entirely yours.
