The Art of Fragrance Layering
By House of Aurae22 March 20255 min read
Fragrance layering is the practice of wearing two or more fragrances simultaneously to create a unique, personalised scent. It's an art form that has been practised in the Middle East for centuries.
The key to successful layering is understanding fragrance families. Complementary families work beautifully together: woody notes with florals, orientals with musks, spicy accords with amber.
Start with the heavier fragrance as your base — apply it first and let it settle for a minute. Then apply the lighter fragrance on top.
Don't be afraid to experiment. Some of the most iconic scent combinations were discovered by accident.
