Perfumes, the art of layering

A real accessory to wear, perfume and its infinite fragrances often express our mood of the moment or reveal our personality. A single fragrance can hardly meet the demands of our busy lives. Some perfume companies have understood this and invite you to mix and match, combining fragrances to create THE ideal perfume! Let’s try our hand at the art of layering with a few suggestions from the masters in the field. What will your mood be?

Sensual & romantic

And why not both! This is the path that NARCISO RODRIGUEZ is leading us down with its PURE MUSC & MUSC NOIR DUO set. A fragrance to mix and match with for her PURE MUSC eau de parfum, the quintessential sensuality that illuminates for her MUSC NOIR eau de parfum, brings softness to the leather notes and enhances its floral facet, for more uniqueness.

Classic & adventurous

The London-based House of Jo Malone has long been a layering pioneer, and the latest addition to its collection is a set of five classic fragrances that, when combined, unleash the imagination to create a new level of emotion. Treat yourself to the delicacy of Wild Bluebell or the sensuality of Peony & Blush Suede. Take a whiff of lemon accents with Lime Basil & Mandarin, followed by the invigorating notes of Wood Sage & Sea Salt or the sensuality of English Pear & Freesia, all in pretty 9 ml bottles that can be taken anywhere.

Natural & sophisticated

L’Artisan Parfumeur takes us on a journey to the heart of a garden, a collection of six Eaux de Parfum from the La Botanique collection to be discovered and mixed to create a new, bewitching olfactory signature. Let yourself be carried away by the impertinent rose of Arcana Rosa, the burning breath of Crepusculum Mirabile or the mysterious vanilla of Mirabilis. Discover the Ylang Ylang of Obscuratio, the sweet venom of Venenum and the shamanic forest of Tenebrae.
