from beginner to pro...and save with our perfume layering bundles.

Here are our top 20 perfume layering tips to help you create unique and long-lasting scent combinations. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned fragrance lover, these steps will take your perfume game to the next level. I'm Perfume.gio, Let's GO!

1. Understanding the basics Learn about the different fragrance families (floral, oriental, woody, fresh). This will help you find harmonious combinations.
2. Testing individual fragrances Test each fragrance individually before layering to understand the development and dominant notes.
3. Light scents first Start with light, fresh scents as a base. Heavier scents on top won't be overwhelming.
4. Use fragrance lotions and oils Use fragrance-free or lightly scented lotions and body oils as a base to extend the life of the fragrance and ensure even distribution.
5. Choose complementary notes Choose fragrances with similar or complementary notes. Vanilla goes well with floral or woody scents.
6. Moderation is key. Less is more. Use small amounts of each scent. Scents that are too strong are difficult to tone down.
7. Use pulse points Apply different scents to different pulse points (wrists, neck, crook of elbows) so they blend throughout the day.
8. Vary the order and locations Experiment with the order and locations of the application. Sometimes this can significantly affect the end result.
9. Seasonal adjustments Adapt your fragrances to the season. Light, fresh scents in summer, heavier, spicy ones in winter.
10. Patience and notes Give the scents time to develop and keep a scent diary. Make note of what works well and what doesn't.
11. Layering with perfumes and body mist Use a perfume and a matching body mist from the same fragrance family for a more intense effect.
12. Shower Gel and Lotions Start with a scented shower gel and matching lotion before applying the perfume to enhance the scent.
13. Vary the fragrance intensity Use different fragrance intensities (Eau de Toilette, Eau de Parfum) for different layers. A lighter Eau de Toilette on the bottom and a more intense Eau de Parfum on the top.
14. Base Notes First Apply fragrances with strong base notes first and then the lighter, volatile top notes.
15. Be creative Don't be afraid to try out unconventional combinations. Sometimes the best fragrances come from bold experiments. Try out how combinations develop on neutral material first. The result is often even better on the skin.
16. Expand your scent zones: Spray not only pulse points but also hair and clothing to make the scent last longer. Note that some perfumes can leave stains. It is therefore best to spray on underwear, which is easier to wash and allows you to change the scents more often.
17. Fragrance for different times of day Wear lighter fragrances during the day and more intense ones in the evening to underline the occasion and mood. Important: Always spray where there is no sunlight. Fragrances last much longer there.
18. Synchronized scents Match your scent with your partner. Combine scents that together create a harmonious blend.
19. Using a fragrance oil Apply a fragrance oil to the skin as a base to give the overlying perfume notes more depth and longevity.
20. Deepen your expertise Read about perfumery and fragrance compositions to gain a deeper understanding and new inspiration for your own creations.
