Perfume Layering Guide
Create Your Own Signature Scent
Why settle for just one favourite fragrance when you can combine two?
Just like layering your favourite jewellery, you can layer your favourite fragrances too. It's called perfume layering, and it's a simple way to create a scent that feels a little more personal.
Love vanilla but wish it had a little more depth? Or perhaps you prefer fresh, woody fragrances but want to add a warmer, spicier touch?
With our alcohol-free roll-on perfume oils, experimenting with different combinations couldn't be easier. Start with a little of each and discover what works for you.
What Is Perfume Layering?
Perfume layering is all about wearing two or more fragrances together to create a new scent experience.
Some fragrances complement and enhance each other, while others create beautiful contrasts. A soft vanilla fragrance, for example, can take on more depth when paired with amber and saffron, while a fresh, aromatic scent can become warmer and richer with notes of oud and leather.
There really are no strict rules. Half the fun is experimenting!
Our Favourite Layering Combinations for Her:
Vanilla Aura + Afterglow
Warm • Creamy • Sensual
A combination for anyone who loves warm, soft fragrances with a little extra character.
Vanilla Aura brings creamy vanilla, lavender and a hint of cacao. Layer it with Afterglow's saffron, jasmine, amber and cedarwood, and you get a fragrance combination that can feel softer, richer and more complex.
Perfect when you're in the mood for something warm and elegant, without being overly sweet.
How to layer: Apply Vanilla Aura first and let it settle on your skin for a minute or so. Then add a little Afterglow to the same area.
Vanilla Aura + Euphoria
Soft • Floral • Romantic
For those who love feminine, floral fragrances with a warm, comforting base.
Euphoria's passion flower, jasmine and vetiver meet Vanilla Aura's creamy vanilla and soft lavender. Since both fragrances share vanilla notes, they're a lovely pair to experiment with.
The result can be a beautifully soft, comforting and slightly romantic fragrance combination.
How to layer: Start with Euphoria and let it settle for a minute. Then apply a little Vanilla Aura to add a softer, creamier touch.
Our Favourite Layering Combinations for Him:
Bold Legacy + Velvet Spice
Fresh • Spicy • Intense
Love fresh, masculine fragrances but looking for something with a little more depth? This combination is definitely worth trying.
Bold Legacy opens with fresh bergamot and black pepper, developing into woody notes and smooth amber. Velvet Spice adds oud, rose, leather and a rich, spicy warmth.
Together, they can create an intriguing contrast between freshness and deeper, warmer notes.
How to layer: Start with a small amount of Velvet Spice. Let it settle before applying Bold Legacy. A little goes a long way when combining two fragrances with such distinctive characters.
Fleurish + Bold Legacy
Aromatic • Woody • Elegant
A combination for anyone who enjoys classic masculine fragrances with a softer, more sophisticated twist.
Fleurish blends powdery iris, spicy lavender, patchouli and vanilla, while Bold Legacy adds fresh bergamot, black pepper and cool woody notes.
Together, they can create a lovely balance between freshness and warmth, with plenty of character.
How to layer: Apply Fleurish first and let it settle on your skin. Then add a little Bold Legacy for a fresher finish.
How to Layer Perfume Oils
Layering fragrances doesn't have to be complicated. With our roll-on perfume oils, it's easy to apply just the right amount exactly where you want it.
Step 1 – Start With Your First Fragrance
Apply a small amount of perfume oil to your wrist or neck. Let the fragrance settle on your skin for a minute or so.
Step 2 – Add Your Second Fragrance
Gently apply your second perfume oil to the same area or just next to it. Start with a little rather than too much.
Step 3 – Let the Fragrances Develop
Give your combination some time to develop on your skin. The fragrance notes will evolve, and the result can vary from person to person.
Our tip? Always try your combination on your own skin before deciding. What smells amazing on one person might develop completely differently on someone else.
