New to layering?
Three rules are all you need: heavy scents first, light scents on top; pair scents that share a note; and let one scent be the hero. Our beginner's guide to perfume layering walks through the full method, the correct spray order, and the five mistakes that sabotage a good stack.
FAQs
What is scent stacking?
Scent stacking (perfume layering) is wearing two fragrances together so they blend into a new scent on your skin. One hero scent plus one supporting scent is the classic formula.
Where should a beginner start?
With vanilla. It pairs with almost everything and forgives mistakes. Try the Vanilla Orchid + White Musk stack from our vanilla guide, then move to the full layering guide for the rules.
How long does a layered scent last?
Longer than a single perfume — a musky or woody base under a bright top can carry a scent past 8 hours, especially on moisturised skin.
