Here in Florence i like layering Santa Maria Novella's Tabacco Toscano with Lorenzo Villoresi's Alamut or Alamut with Merchant of Venice Venician Blue. If i want bomb intensity i will lay Alamut on Davidoff cool water intense or Savage ,the combination we have named Gian Medici's Ruspanti.
I found that a base layer of Encre Noir is magical when top layered with Acqua di Gio Armani. It creates a more fantasy, Tolkien forest smell rather than the dark, somber forest when using Encre Noir alone. And it gives Acqua di Gio a chance to be something other than a generic men's go to fragrance that everybody wears.
Last year at Esxence I asked 2 perfumers what they think about famous combos including their creations. The first one looked at me, with disgust in his eyes, like I asked him something atrocious . The second one, also an owner said he knows it , but he did not approve it. Perfumers do feel like you're somehow butchering their work by layering, even if the result is good.
I have lots of baggies full of about 8-12 samples, and the combinations always smell so amazing when you open the bag. If only I could layer 10 at a time! I almost feel like combining a few drops from each into a new vile and see what happens.
Molten Brown Mesmerisng Oudh Accord and Gold layered with Victor and Rolf Spicebomb Extreme. Imagine a darker and more mature version of Spicebomb Extreme, with elements of the fragrance profile reminiscent of Tom Ford Tobacco Oud and YSL Tuxedo.
R and R Scents Sounds amazing. I layered Silver Mountain Water with Virgin Island Water. Simply amazing. I also layered Neroli Portifino with Ja’din Amafili.
Early 2000s I mixed Pi by Givenchy and moonlight path lotion by bath & bodyworks! It happened on accident needed some lotion grabbed my sisters lotion, when my wife smelled me she jumped on me
What a great video. I began experimenting with perfume layering over the summer. I own Lanvin Oxygene and Joop Le Bain in my collection. Both perfumes are absolutely amazing! Sometimes, I layer Lanvin Oxygene and Joop Le Bain together. When combined, the perfumes marry into the most intoxicating warm, creamy, dreamy, sexy scent. I adore it. I suggest giving the combo a go 👌
To echo your thoughts; Jo Malone is ACE for layering. Some of my fav combos: Myrrh & Tonka + Wild Blubell Wood sage & Sea Salt + English Oak & Red Currant 154 + Bronze wood & Leather I could honestly go on and on about the combos from my collection, but I will leve the discovery for you all to experience too!
I am layering Molecule 01 with every perfume I have in my collection I didn't like. I bought myself the new Nars one. I am layering this with Aire from Profumi di Pantteleria for a more of an sea breeze vibe.
I watch a beauty youtuber 'Abby Bliss White', her Tom Ford SA told her to layer Tobacco Vanille with Lost Cherry. I like it. I would imagine that TF Oud Wood could be layered with a lot of fragrances since I find Oud Wood to be a gentle oud and kind of simple. Thanks for the video!
Clud De Nuit Intense is a great cheapie to experiment layering with. I've found CDNI and a BR540 clone oil or Tuscan Leather clone oil applied after works well but my wife's favourite is CDNI with Blue De Chanel EDT. Give it a go 👍
I don’t like layering . Different perfume houses use different quality of oils and different chemicals to make the perfume base...so when one layers is not just mixing lemon from one perfume and rose from another hoping to get a lemon-rose combo, besides the different characteristics of the oils one is also mixing two different perfume bases made of different chemicals, like mixing juice from two different brands, say Tropicana Orange juice with Walmart brand apple juice...there is more than just mixing 2 flavors...Like mixing a white Sherwin-Williams paint and red Glidden paint hoping to come up with a pink paint, getting pink, no doubt , but ending up with a mix of two different paint bases that nay actually affect the results of painting a house with such mix. No good. So, for those who believe In layering but don’t believe in running perfumes over the skin...rubbing perfume over the skin destroys the molecules of the perfume, or so they say, but mixing two perfumes with two different chemical formulations is perfectly ok...right? I don’t get it. If one must, then layer two perfumes of the same house, because most likely they have the same perfume base structure, but beyond that is messing up the composition of both perfumes. Also try spraying them separately on two different parts of the body. That has given some interesting results.
A layering duo that I have been doing for about a week, is straight out of the shower, a base layer of Reminiscence Patchouli all over- let dry for at least 10 minutes, then go in with Kayali Citrus 08. The earthy base of patchouli with a sparkling citrus on top is to die for. Another combo I do in similar fashion is Reminiscence Patchouli + a very light spritzing of Montale Full Incense (a few sprays only Bc Montale goes a long way).
Layering Maison Margiela's At the Barber's on top of Armani Pour Homme is a favourite of mine. Both are barbershop scents but at the Barber's is more about the Shaving Foam like Lavender whereas Armani Pour Homme is more about the Citruses and Oakmoss. The two combine to give an intoxicating and more rounded barbershop scent. At the Barber's has very low sillage so the layering aids with that too.
This maybe is a silly question or maybe it is already been asked and I can't find it in the comments. What if you get compliments on Layering and someone asked you What are you wearing what do you tell them?
great video! i currently wear philosykos (edt) by diptyque (one spray all over) and add a touch of jo malone’s wood sage & sea salt on my pulse points to brighten things up a bit 😊
Wow! I just combined JM Oud & Bergamot and Pacifica's Nerola Orange Blossom, because I was "shopping my stash." It makes me so happy, and I was relieved that I wasn't the only one who loved the combination of these notes! One of my COVID hobbies is rediscovering what is already in my collection. Thanks for this content!
As someone who is over 50, my skin is much drier than it used to be. So even a strong intense fragrance has limited longevity. I’ve found that using a scented lotion or sunscreen first, then layering a fragrance over it, gives me a more lasting scent.
I've started layering Jungle L' elephant by Kenzo with Black Cedarwood and Juniper by Jo Malone. Not sure yet if it works but I think it tones down the sweetness from Jungle. Great content! Greetings from Greece!
Thanks for this vid! Been wanting to hear your thoughts on this very topic and voila, here it is! Will try a rose-vetiver layering with the perfumes I have. One scent I really like layering with many others is Tempo by Diptyque, to give any fragrance a deeper, herbal patchouli nuance. Tempo and Kedu work well together, for example. Keep these videos coming!
@@mrjonathank92 so do exactly this. Do 4 sprays of sauvage, 2 on neck one on wrist and 1 in cloth. Do half spray on the other wrist of TB full spray on bavk of the neck to leave the trail and half anywhere else. The TB spray is preassurised so you can control the spray. Its very potent so half a spray will go a long way. Do this many if you will be in an open place like party, club or just any space where u wont chole ppl. Do less if you will be in a small place like a room or a date roomBtw I do it with Prada Luna Rossa Black(basically Pradas take on Sauvage just more rounded) lmk. Its my most complimented scent after Layton
You should do one on buying fragrances, like not just buying all and collect them all but how to have a process to find the ones you love and how to start collecting them without having to buy all at once. And how many bottles is enough etc.. you rock man!
Please review Ex nihilo “French affair “ , if you haven’t tried it I’m sure you will love it! Great oak moss, Vetiver and patchouli! The best thing I’ve smelled lately...
I have two simple designer fragrances that each had strong and weak points. Mandarine Basilic has a delicious but short lived orange juice hit and Orange Mauresque has a durable but low projecting neroli. Depending on which is layered first, you get both beautiful complimentary scents with forward neroli or orange juice with 24 hour duration. Still only get a medium projection.
After watching this I did some experimenting of my own. Many of my attempts didn't work too well. The only success was Bleu de Chanel PARFUM with PDM Layton. Layton rules the opening and both dry downs are soft enough to compliment each other really well.
Hello! I have discovered your channel not long ago and really enjoying every video you make. My favourite combo Mancera Aoud Lemon Mint + Nejma 5. It reminds me of Xerjoff - More than words but on a very soft side, not so cloudy but very intense either 👍
For combos I use By the Fireplace to Montale Ristretto Intense Cafe or Bond 9 I love NY for All. Sweet Smoke from Alexandria Fragrances I layer with perfumes too simple or sweet for a nice smoky touch. Still searching for a good incense perfume to layer with scents. 👍😎
HEY SEBASTIAN since you mentioned Jo Malone give this a try ; I love to layer Jo Malone wood sage and sea salt with Neroli portafino aqua. It really puts the sand in your shorts. Trust me and give it a try. Also I like to add clubman or brut to the sprays bottle version of lush dirty which is a spearmint scent. They make the cologne but it’s very easy to add the clubman to the spray bottle. Just add till you like the lavender mint that agrees with you
I enjoy layering Pure Malt on top of Molinard's Vanille Patchouli. The result smells almost like a boozy, earthy, dark chocolate. Since my newer formulation of Pure Malt is not a beast (the Molinard is also fairly soft), the layering gives it more legs in terms of performance.
What's your take on doing one frag on one hand and another on other hand rather than one on top of other. That combination should also smell good on air. Cheer's
my favorite lately is Herod on my skin, and then Terre D'Hermes on top of my winter clothes... so my general projection is the Terre D'hermes with that awesome Citrus and Vetiver with the Flint but anyone close in or hugging theres this super warm and awesome Vanilla/musk/Tobacco Herod that just makes them wanna get closer. this is on top of my Cocoa Butter lotion and Paul Sebastian aftershave... and Balsam & Cedar Bodywash....
I just got my bottle of Hundred Silent Ways and i immediately went to try out the layering combo of it and Hacivat and i must say IS IT A THING OF BEAUTY. Thank you so much for discovering this combo, really reminds me of how much i love Nishane which is already hands down my favourite fragrance house of all time.
These combinations are genius. There is more information in this video than I was expecting. Thank you for sharing your experiences and serendipitous discoveries.
Great video. Thanks. Newbie in the fragrance world here and , of course , by mistake I found that for my nose layering Tom Ford Ombre & Club de Nuit Intense EDP smells amazing. Maybe it sounds crazy but layering those help both frangrances. I now do it once in awhile when i want fresh citrus but also the leathery sweet. Cheers
Hunter Bautista That sounds delicious. I layered Amouge Journey Man with Mont Blanc Individual. That combo really gave me a TF Tuscan Leather vibe. Very nice.
I specifically looked up this video because I blind bought Rassasi Al Wisom Day Not realizing there was a prominent rose note in it. I had just gotten the bottle and I had just blind bought Guerlian Vetiver As well I was curious what federal smelled like and was not ready for the pungent earthy smell however I do like it and then as soon as I saw this video looking for something to do with Wisom's rose note, I Immediately applied GV 1st then Wisom on top and WOW! I feel I gave a winner here for me. Thanks for the tips!!
Good morning. I live in Northern Canada and the availability of Creed Vigrin Island Water is limited and when you do find one the prices are out of this world. Do you know of any alternatives to Vigrin Island Water? Thank You.
Right now I’m trying to Frankenstein TF Neroli Portofino. I’ve got pretty close with the basic clean scent of Myth and Replicas Under the lemon tree…it’s not sweet enough for me though so it’s a work In progress
You better BELIEVE I was gonna watch this video! For me, it was a combo of logic and trial and error. Most of the time, you can figure out what goes with what - citrus and greens/florals/woods, coffee and gourmands, florals and musks, spices and woods/ambers, woods and ambers/vanillas, etc - but sometimes the weirdest combos somehow work out. Just recently did L'eau Boisee with Spice and Wood. 👍 Essentially a perfect blend of apple, lime, pepper, grass and smooth woods. Like you said, I wouldn't recommend layering dense or 'full' fragrances, unless you dilute them yourself (which is more blending than layering). Blending is a whole different ball game though and far more challenging. Appreciate the vid Seb!
Great video Sebastian, I layer occasionally, here and there. When I do layer, I try it out first by putting both sprayers together so I can smell the sprayers together to see if it works. Its like combining foods, it really does matter what you choose to pair together. Otherwise, most fragrances are already complete on their own, it is the simpler more linear fragrances that are easiest to layer.
Nice list I get into sometimes as well - waay too many to list lol Top 2 would be Aventus and Sublime Vanille & Initio Psychedelic Love & Tom ford lost cherry
Question:; if you normally wear 2 sprays of a particular EDT, and there is another EDT that you would wear only 2 sprays would you wear two sprays of each if you are layering them together? Or do you wear one spray of each to add up to a total of two sprays so that it won't be overpowering to people around you. Help me understand this
Our friends in the Middle East have been doing this forever. I've come up with some fun frags over the years! Yes, some I'd never try again as well. Live and learn!!
Gris Dior and Rouge Trafalgar work well together! Gris Dior is too dry and Rouge Trafalgar is too sweet on their own. Rouge Trafalgar works with Oud Extrait from MFK. When I don’t like a fragrance I am testing I always see my chance to experiment with layering.
Which are the best pulse points when winter layering with fragrances in separate locations of the body? (Since there is less skin exposed;) Should you apply the stronger scent behind the neck and the less dense fragrance behind the ears/side of neck?! Thank You!
Nemat amber oil and alien by Thierry mugler is my new fav! Seems like it wouldn’t make a difference but I’ve had people stop me at work and ask what perfume I’m wearing ! My own little secret, I’ve never told anyone my full mixture :) anyone who’s never tried it I suggest it!
What would happen if you put the layering, together, into a third spray bottle instead? Just wondering. Forgive my ignorant question. I've got not idea about perfume other than choosing a nice smell for myself 🤔
I recently purchased Le Couvent Maison De Parfum Tinharé, and also repurchased an old perfume I hadn’t worn since my teens (now being 34), CK One (my signature scent), and have noticed that layering those two smell absolutely amazing, on my wrists - Whether it be first applying Tinharé then CK One, or the other way around 🙈☺️ However, I only need one spritz of each on my right wrist, then press the left wrist down on it, not rubbing. However, I did, on two occasions, spray on one, then wait for about 15-20min before applying the other one - Trying with CK One first, and the Tinharé the second time. But they’re obviously amazing on their own, but layering is also fun☺️ They’re both unisex, and I’ve noticed that, even though it’s always nice to mix women’s + men’s, women’s +women’s, men’s + men’s, women’s + unisex, or men’s +unisex, it’s still amazing when you can blend two unisex, which I’ve done with those two. I have a big variety in both men’s and women’s, as well as unisex, like Gypsy Water, I have Prada Luna Rossa Sport and Acqua di Gió, and if you have a nose for it, you can mix Acqua di Gió with some oriental ones, with which I have. I’ve always been lucky in my layering, never having messed up on which ones that smell amazing, mouth-watering even🙈 I absolutely LOVE Aventus, btw!🥴 I purchased their scented candle, and never light it (ok, ONCE) but lift off the gold like lid that covers the top, and smell the lid 🙈 And for the next minute, my mind just wanders off to the Land of Fragrances 🙈
Yeah!!!!!!! This is what means richness.... mix fragrances on yourself...... great art. My way...... oud wood as base and noir por femme as leyer..... try!!!!)))) So amazing)))) never the less they are great in themself alone
Such comments with great ideas. Thanks to all and to Sebastián for starting the conversation. I am insane and layer mostly anything but almost never on same area. Prefer to spray hair with1 or 2 and body pr clothes with a 3rd one.

Combos start at 8:05 if anyone is interested.
Thank you

Thank you
Thanks.. he does tend to ramble a bit.
already coming out with the 2 $400 perfumes 😭
Rose D’arabie and Grand soir. Heavy but smells like romance.
B4540 with grand soir works too.
I found that a base layer of Encre Noir is magical when top layered with Acqua di Gio Armani. It creates a more fantasy, Tolkien forest smell rather than the dark, somber forest when using Encre Noir alone. And it gives Acqua di Gio a chance to be something other than a generic men's go to fragrance that everybody wears.
Encre noir + armaf sillage --> Better Version of silver Mountain water beastmode
omg acqua di gio armani is my top layer💕 it's my fav top layer~
Please can you advise me on the best way to apply both fragrances
Wow, $40 for a baseball cap!
Last year at Esxence I asked 2 perfumers what they think about famous combos including their creations. The first one looked at me, with disgust in his eyes, like I asked him something atrocious . The second one, also an owner said he knows it , but he did not approve it.
Perfumers do feel like you're somehow butchering their work by layering, even if the result is good.
Totally understandable but we as amateur blenders also have our rights;)
I love layering and creating my own mini-masterpieces! So much great info here. Thanks so much!
You're welcome, thank you! :)
I have lots of baggies full of about 8-12 samples, and the combinations always smell so amazing when you open the bag. If only I could layer 10 at a time! I almost feel like combining a few drops from each into a new vile and see what happens.
Do it and let it sit for minimum of 3 weeks.
Respectfully🇨🇦
I layered John Varvatos Dark Rebel with Lost Cherry. 🖤🍒
IT’S A WINNER!!!!!
That is so neat, layering Oud with citrus to make it a more masculine experience. Thank you :)
My God am I looking at clooney??!!!
Molten Brown Mesmerisng Oudh Accord and Gold layered with Victor and Rolf Spicebomb Extreme. Imagine a darker and more mature version of Spicebomb Extreme, with elements of the fragrance profile reminiscent of Tom Ford Tobacco Oud and YSL Tuxedo.
As for designer scents for layering, I find Chloè Nomade Absolu and Narcisso Rodriguez for her can be layered nicely with other fragrences ;)
Bleu de Chanel parfum and givenchy gentleman cologne is amazing. I love that mix
R and R Scents Sounds amazing. I layered Silver Mountain Water with Virgin Island Water. Simply amazing.
I also layered Neroli Portifino with Ja’din Amafili.
I also love that combo, but l use pafum gentleman
Early 2000s I mixed Pi by Givenchy and moonlight path lotion by bath & bodyworks! It happened on accident needed some lotion grabbed my sisters lotion, when my wife smelled me she jumped on me

Molinard Patchouli with Giorgio Beverly hills for men....BEAST MODE!!!!!
Omg I’m going to give that a try even tho I think DHP is perfect on its own. 😄
Clud De Nuit Intense is a great cheapie to experiment layering with. I've found CDNI and a BR540 clone oil or Tuscan Leather clone oil applied after works well but my wife's favourite is CDNI with Blue De Chanel EDT. Give it a go 👍
Cdni with Italiano Nero is amazing for summer. Juicy smokey pineapples...
Cdni with mb explorer is also great.
@@clayufcmusicfan those are almost the same, right?
@@Lahautz Almost, same scent profile but I feel like they both level each other out well and mix perfectly.
@@clayufcmusicfan I have Explorer myself, and looking to buy either CDIM Limited Edition or Afnan Supremacy Not Only Intense
I don’t like layering . Different perfume houses use different quality of oils and different chemicals to make the perfume base...so when one layers is not just mixing lemon from one perfume and rose from another hoping to get a lemon-rose combo, besides the different characteristics of the oils one is also mixing two different perfume bases made of different chemicals, like mixing juice from two different brands, say Tropicana Orange juice with Walmart brand apple juice...there is more than just mixing 2 flavors...Like mixing a white Sherwin-Williams paint and red Glidden paint hoping to come up with a pink paint, getting pink, no doubt , but ending up with a mix of two different paint bases that nay actually affect the results of painting a house with such mix.

Hi please can you expand further on how you apply the base layer and then the top layer
Indian oud and Cambodian oud work perfectly together and molecules work with every single perfume

Hi everyone!! Which perfume can I layer with? Le labo another 13, please thanks ❤ oh I’m a lady lol
As someone who is over 50, my skin is much drier than it used to be. So even a strong intense fragrance has limited longevity. I’ve found that using a scented lotion or sunscreen first, then layering a fragrance over it, gives me a more lasting scent.
Molecule 03 with Fat Electrician is great combo
Amouage Jubilation XXV 3:1 Robert Piguet Casbah 🔥🔥🔥❤️
I've started layering Jungle L' elephant by Kenzo with Black Cedarwood and Juniper by Jo Malone. Not sure yet if it works but I think it tones down the sweetness from Jungle.

You should do one on buying fragrances, like not just buying all and collect them all but how to have a process to find the ones you love and how to start collecting them without having to buy all at once. And how many bottles is enough etc.. you rock man!

Dunhill Icon+Mugler Cologne+Lalique L’Extreme+Tere De Hermes edt= magnificent. 👌🏽👌🏽p.s I have blended them in a 5ml atomiser.
That's a LOT to mix dude
I specifically looked up this video because I blind bought Rassasi Al Wisom Day Not realizing there was a prominent rose note in it. I had just gotten the bottle and I had just blind bought Guerlian Vetiver As well I was curious what federal smelled like and was not ready for the pungent earthy smell however I do like it and then as soon as I saw this video looking for something to do with Wisom's rose note, I Immediately applied GV 1st then Wisom on top and WOW! I feel I gave a winner here for me. Thanks for the tips!!
Try sillage armaf with encre noir
Good morning. I live in Northern Canada and the availability of Creed Vigrin Island Water is limited and when you do find one the prices are out of this world. Do you know of any alternatives to Vigrin Island Water? Thank You.
I just layered a fresh rose with encre noir extreme and its 👌 loved the layering recommendations
Supposedly, Bitter Peach and BR540 are an amazing combination.
There you go: no cap, dark shirt; you look great! Don't you have any gay male friends to tell you that?! 😉
😂
Right now I’m trying to Frankenstein TF Neroli Portofino. I’ve got pretty close with the basic clean scent of Myth and Replicas Under the lemon tree…it’s not sweet enough for me though so it’s a work In progress
Lira and br540
You better BELIEVE I was gonna watch this video! For me, it was a combo of logic and trial and error. Most of the time, you can figure out what goes with what - citrus and greens/florals/woods, coffee and gourmands, florals and musks, spices and woods/ambers, woods and ambers/vanillas, etc - but sometimes the weirdest combos somehow work out. Just recently did L'eau Boisee with Spice and Wood. 👍 Essentially a perfect blend of apple, lime, pepper, grass and smooth woods. Like you said, I wouldn't recommend layering dense or 'full' fragrances, unless you dilute them yourself (which is more blending than layering). Blending is a whole different ball game though and far more challenging. Appreciate the vid Seb!
That’s awesome!!!
Great video Sebastian, I layer occasionally, here and there. When I do layer, I try it out first by putting both sprayers together so I can smell the sprayers together to see if it works. Its like combining foods, it really does matter what you choose to pair together. Otherwise, most fragrances are already complete on their own, it is the simpler more linear fragrances that are easiest to layer.
That’s a great way to do it I haven’t thought about that but thanks for letting me know. 😄
Interesting. I just tried your method with oud for greatness and Carlisle. I'll layer them tomorrow and see what happens.
Excellent idea, thank you.
That's exactly what I do.
Nice list
I get into sometimes as well - waay too many to list lol
Top 2 would be Aventus and Sublime Vanille & Initio Psychedelic Love & Tom ford lost cherry
Great I want to try those now!! First I have to get the fragrances for sure!
Question:; if you normally wear 2 sprays of a particular EDT, and there is another EDT that you would wear only 2 sprays would you wear two sprays of each if you are layering them together? Or do you wear one spray of each to add up to a total of two sprays so that it won't be overpowering to people around you. Help me understand this
I like dark amber and ginger lily body cream with poppy and barley fragrance from jo Malone. I find them unique.
YSL Tuxedo and PDM Layton is a panty dropper!!! Currently smelling my wrist incessantly👌
Gotta try aventus with layton and lost cherry with naxos... magical
That’s a lot going on! Whoa
Newbie here.. can I layer BR540 & Aesop Tacit??
Our friends in the Middle East have been doing this forever. I've come up with some fun frags over the years! Yes, some I'd never try again as well. Live and learn!!
LOL! Yes! :)
Have you ever tried Not a perfume + Love, by Kilian? 😘
Gris Dior and Rouge Trafalgar work well together! Gris Dior is too dry and Rouge Trafalgar is too sweet on their own. Rouge Trafalgar works with Oud Extrait from MFK. When I don’t like a fragrance I am testing I always see my chance to experiment with layering.
Which are the best pulse points when winter layering with fragrances in separate locations of the body? (Since there is less skin exposed;) Should you apply the stronger scent behind the neck and the less dense fragrance behind the ears/side of neck?! Thank You!
Molecule 01 + TF Oud Wood
Nemat amber oil and alien by Thierry mugler is my new fav! Seems like it wouldn’t make a difference but I’ve had people stop me at work and ask what perfume I’m wearing ! My own little secret, I’ve never told anyone my full mixture :) anyone who’s never tried it I suggest it!
How to layer two fragrances? I mean, spray it almost the same time? I always feel the scents are both gone whenever I tried it..
What would happen if you put the layering, together, into a third spray bottle instead? Just wondering.
Forgive my ignorant question. I've got not idea about perfume other than choosing a nice smell for myself 🤔
11mins in and its looking like a “what/which to layer” video rather than a “how to layer” video..
I recently purchased Le Couvent Maison De Parfum Tinharé, and also repurchased an old perfume I hadn’t worn since my teens (now being 34), CK One (my signature scent), and have noticed that layering those two smell absolutely amazing, on my wrists - Whether it be first applying Tinharé then CK One, or the other way around 🙈☺️ However, I only need one spritz of each on my right wrist, then press the left wrist down on it, not rubbing. However, I did, on two occasions, spray on one, then wait for about 15-20min before applying the other one - Trying with CK One first, and the Tinharé the second time. But they’re obviously amazing on their own, but layering is also fun☺️ They’re both unisex, and I’ve noticed that, even though it’s always nice to mix women’s + men’s, women’s +women’s, men’s + men’s, women’s + unisex, or men’s +unisex, it’s still amazing when you can blend two unisex, which I’ve done with those two. I have a big variety in both men’s and women’s, as well as unisex, like Gypsy Water, I have Prada Luna Rossa Sport and Acqua di Gió, and if you have a nose for it, you can mix Acqua di Gió with some oriental ones, with which I have. I’ve always been lucky in my layering, never having messed up on which ones that smell amazing, mouth-watering even🙈 I absolutely LOVE Aventus, btw!🥴 I purchased their scented candle, and never light it (ok, ONCE) but lift off the gold like lid that covers the top, and smell the lid 🙈 And for the next minute, my mind just wanders off to the Land of Fragrances 🙈
My go-to is a base of patchouli oil with Calvin Klein Obsession. It's long lasting and women really really like the way this combo smells on me.
I like layering encre noir and wanted by night from azzaro. The encre noir adds more earthy elements to wbn's more sweet elements.
Try 'The Intense One'! (DHI + D&G The One)
very educational, and im in the "love the long videos" camp :)
Yeah!!!!!!! This is what means richness.... mix fragrances on yourself...... great art. My way...... oud wood as base and noir por femme as leyer..... try!!!!)))) So amazing)))) never the less they are great in themself alone
Such comments with great ideas. Thanks to all and to Sebastián for starting the conversation. I am insane and layer mostly anything but almost never on same area. Prefer to spray hair with1 or 2 and body pr clothes with a 3rd one.
Thanks Sebastian! Excellent suggestions, and sparks ideas to experiment with my own fragrances. Cheers!
