Layering Perfumes Like a Pro
What Is Fragrance Layering?
Fragrance layering is the art of combining two or more perfumes to create a customized signature scent. It allows you to express your unique personality by blending different notes together—just like mixing colors in art. When done right, layering creates deeper, longer-lasting fragrances that evolve beautifully throughout the day.
Why Layering Works Best with 30% EDP
At Alice&Bruce, our perfumes are made with 30% Eau de Parfum concentration—ideal for layering. The rich oil base ensures each layer has strength, longevity, and a smooth blend when worn together. You only need 1-2 sprays of each to create a luxury fragrance experience that lasts for hours.
Best Combinations for a Signature Scent
Try pairing these combinations for an elevated scent profile:
- Vanilla with Floral – Sweet meets romantic
- Amber with Leather – Bold, smoky, seductive
- Woody with Citrus – Fresh with grounding warmth
- Rose with Oud – Modern, rich and long-lasting
- Coconut with Musk – Soft, cozy, and sensual
- Green Tea with Jasmine – Light, airy and clean
Pro Tip: Spray the heavier scent first (like wood, oud, or amber) and layer lighter notes (like florals or citrus) on top for better projection.
How to Layer Perfumes Correctly
- Start with moisturized skin. Use an unscented lotion.
- Spray the base fragrance on pulse points (neck, wrists, elbows).
- Layer the second perfume gently—don’t overdo it. Start with one spray.
- Let them settle and interact naturally—avoid rubbing!
- Observe how the scent develops after 10–20 minutes.
Make It Your Signature
The magic of layering is that no one else will smell exactly like you. Whether you like sweet, fresh, spicy, or musky—Alice&Bruce’s layering-friendly perfumes are made to help you explore and evolve your scent identity.
