Expert Tips for Successful Layering
- Start Light: Begin with a lighter scent as your base and layer a more intense fragrance over it.
- Test on Skin: Layered scents can react differently on skin than on paper. Always test before finalizing your combination.
- Focus on Notes: Combine fragrances with complementary or contrasting notes for unique effects.
- Be Subtle: Avoid over-layering. Two to three sprays per scent are usually enough.
