How to layer perfume guide

Did you know that how you wear scent day to day doesn’t start and end with a spritz of your favourite perfume? Oh no, with fragrance layering, you can amp up the effects of your chosen scent by pairing it with complementing products. Want to know more? Here’s everything you need to know about layering perfume and the combos we love here at The Perfume Shop. 

What is fragrance layering? 

Fragrance layering is a way to combine more than one scent on your skin to create a truly unique aroma. You can custom build a scent that works for your current mood or the occasion you’re getting ready for.

What’re the benefits of fragrance layering?

Okay, we hear you! Adding a few extra steps to your morning routine may not be for everyone, especially those don’t-talk-to-me-until-I-have-had-my-morning-coffee-types, but trust us – it’s completely worth it! 

With fragrance layering, not only do you get the freedom of creating a scent to reflect your personality, but you can also extend how long the fragrance lasts on your skin. Alternatively, you can enjoy a more subtle fragrance experience by using just the scented body product.  

The Showstopping Combo: 1 Million by Paco Rabanne

If adoring compliments are what you’re after, then you can’t go wrong by layering the 1 Million by Paco Rabanne shower gel, aftershave lotion and bestselling Eau de Toilette. 

Ideal for Date Night: Sauvage by Dior

As well as shower gels, another excellent way for gents to layer their fragrance is with a luxe deodorant spray or stick. Pair it with the matching intoxicating shower gel and highly impressive Eau de Parfum, and you’ll feel a million dollars come date night! 

The Perfect Bundle: Dylan Blue by Versace

It could not be simpler to master the art of fragrance layering than with Versace’s Dylan Blue collection. Hop in the shower and lather up with the scented shower gel, moisturise and tone the skin with the aftershave balm, prep yourself for the day with the deodorant stick and finally, the all-important final touch, a spritz or two of the Eau de Toilette.
