PERFUME OIL LAYERING GUIDE

Layering lets you build a fragrance that’s undeniably yours. Start with a deep, long-lasting base, then add an expressive topper for lift. Use light pressure, short set times, and pulse points for the best bloom.

Quick Rules

Base first, topper second. Think: Oud/Amber/Musk → then Vanilla/Floral/Citrus.
Small amounts. 1 swipe each layer (wrists/neck). Let set 2–3 minutes.
Match intensity. Bold base + soft topper (or vice-versa) for balance.
Keep it to two layers (three max) to avoid muddiness.
Same zones. Apply both layers to the same pulse points for synergy.
