A guide to layering scent

Layering is simply wearing more than one scent at a time. Done lightly, it lets you adjust a fragrance to the day — brighter in the morning, warmer at night.

Light under, rich over

Start with a body mist over skin and clothes, then add one or two sprays of eau de parfum on pulse points.

Find a shared note

Scents that share a note — a floral, a fruit, a musk — tend to blend more easily. Try a few combinations on paper strips before wearing them together.
