Let's talk layering...
I get so many questions about the layering fragrances, and I'm not sure I do a great job of explaining how they work because in my mind, it's an anything goes type of thing!
And really, that's true. You can wear any scent combo you want, and you can apply your perfume in any way that works for you. Wearing two or more of these sheer, buildable fragrances is just a fun way to get creative with scent.
I made the below guidelines in case you're not sure where to start, but keep scrolling to go over a few more FAQs that wouldn't fit in this horrendous all-text "graphic." (Yeesh, sorry!)
Q: How do I know which scents go together?
A: Trust me, they can all go together, depending on your taste. I suggest trying samples and experimenting with layering your favorite, top 2-3 scents to see how they interact with each other on your skin. (It's always interesting and the results are often unexpected!)
There are also "layer it with" suggestions on each of the product pages if you're looking for some inspiration.
Q: Can I layer them with other fragrances?
A: Of course! I like to think that my stand-alone fragrances don't need any extra flair, but feel free to add your own twist. Many of the fragrances in the Perfume Archives are perfect for layering - especially the simple, four note blends in the "signature fragrance" category.
For example, this lovely floral scent is dying to be worn with Cream. Or Amber, or Sandalwood, or Earth, or Ballet Slippers...!
Q: Why should I layer my fragrances?
A: You don't have to! I love offering these mix-and-match scents because I can never make up my own mind about what to wear, and I've always thought the idea of having a collection of simple fragrances that can be worn alone or together for different effects sounded kind of dreamy.
But no worries if it's not your thing! Really, don't worry about it. There are plenty of stand-alone fragrance options to choose from here.
Q: What if I apply the top note first and a base note on top?
A: How dare you?! (KIDDING!)
Please, break the rules. Do it however you want. You absolutely cannot mess this up. The worst that will happen is that you add another spritz of the top note fragrance. Or, if you really get crazy you may end up washing something off.
But that's not likely. Besides, many of these are light enough that they'll fade in a bit and you can just put something else on. Enjoying natural perfume is more about the moment, and your intention to add something delightful to your day.
Speaking of delightful, let me share a few of my favorite combos with you...
Pick any two 3 ml layering fragrances for $36 here.
These two tiny little perfumes really pack a punch. I absolutely love how Rose wears over my newest layering fragrance, Ballet Slippers. It seems so simple, but the effect is WOWZA!
Nectar and Cream are one of my all time favorite pairings. Add a spritz of Orange Blossom for an extra juicy, citrusy lift. (And loads of pizzazz!)
Get three 5 ml bottles for $88, here.
I call this one: The Sugar Plum Fairy.
Get it?
Also, feel free to give your perfume combos little nicknames.
Have I mentioned that Rose goes with everything?
There are so many options that I could do this all day, but wouldn't it be much more fun if you tried them on yourself?
