The Art of Fragrance Layering

Discover how to create your own signature scent by combining different fragrance families.

Fragrance layering is the art of combining two or more perfumes to create a unique, personalised scent that is entirely your own. It is a technique long used by perfumers and fragrance enthusiasts alike.

Start with your base: choose a heavier, longer-lasting scent as your foundation — something with oud, musk, or amber notes. Apply this first to clean, moisturised skin.

Then add your top layer: a lighter, fresher scent sprayed over or on different pulse points. Citrus, floral, and green notes work beautifully as a top layer.

The key is experimentation. Try Scenteura Vibe as your base with Inspire layered on top for a unique oriental-fresh accord. Or pair Diva with Radiant for a rose-jasmine floral bouquet that is entirely your creation.

Allow each layer to settle for a few minutes before applying the next, and always start with less — you can always add more, but you cannot take it away.
