Fragrance layering is a fun way to create your own signature scent, by combining complementary scents from different products. Layering scented body care with mists and perfumes allows you to amp up notes you love, or add something entirely new to the mix. It can also help your scent last longer, by anchoring more fleeting notes to a longer lasting base. Hydrated skin is essential for maximizing your perfume’s performance. I love to get creative with my body care and perfumes, coming up with new combinations to match my mood, the weather or the occasion! Here are some combos I've tried and loved!
