How to Layer Men’s Perfumes to get your Signature Scent
Layering scents with complimentary notes is a great way of spicing up your fragrances as well as adding a personalised touch to them. In order to truly stand out and create your own signature perfume, layering techniques play a great role.
Below are some tips and tricks that will help your layer your fragrances the right way to create a scent that is uniquely yours :
Start with Lighter Fragrance
When layering scents, one of the primary steps is to start with a neutral and lighter fragrance on the top. This creates a base for other fragrances to develop over your body and provide the characteristic scent which you desire.
Lighter fragrances often include warm and floral notes like vanilla, jasmine or musk, helpful in creating a subtle and soothing foundation for other scents.
Pair Complimentary Notes
Layering fragrances is an art and it is inclusive of mixing the right notes together to create the perfect scent. Always layer fragrances with complimentary notes, which have slightly different olfactory characteristics yet create the perfect blend when mixed together.
Some of the complimentary notes you should definitely try pairing together are :
-
Aquatic & Herbal
-
Citrus & Woody
-
Amber & Oud
-
Fruity & Floral
-
Aquatic & Citrus
-
Sweet & Spicy
Use Body Oils or Attars
To accentuate the final scent of your fragrance and to increase its longevity, try using body oils or fragrance attars. These unscented body oils and attars can be applied as a bottom layer to create a smoother base and amplify the perfume’s projection and longevity by locking in the scent to the skin.
Try Different Concentrations
You can try experimenting with different concentrations of perfumes to strike out the perfect balance of intensity and longevity according to your personal preferences. Some of the popular perfume concentrations are :
-
Parfum : 20-40% concentration of perfume oils
-
Eau de Parfum (EDP) : 15-20 % concentration of perfume oils
-
Eau de Toilette (EDT) : 10-15% concentration of oils
-
Eau de Cologne (EDC) : 5-10% concentration of oils
Apply Strategically
The next tip is to apply the fragrances strategically on the key points of your body. These points are called the pulse points and are nearer to the surface of your skin, causing the scents applied over these areas to perfectly blend and diffuse onto your skin.
Apply sparingly over these key areas on your body like wrists, neck, behind the ears, on your inner elbows and chest and enjoy the perfectly balanced fragrance projection emanating from your body.
Experiment with New Combinations
Don’t be afraid to try out new fragrance combinations and layer your fragrances the way you want!
