Your own perfumer how to mix fragrances?

The trend of layering fragrances has taken over the perfume world. Why wear one when you can mix a few and create your own, unique scent? We break down the trendy technique and tell you how to get the perfume of your dreams.

Before we get started, let's define: any fragrance is conceived as a whole, self-contained composition. Mixing regular perfumes can be done as an experiment or a game. And for the fashion technique to really work, you need perfumes designed specifically for layering - their notes combine perfectly together and harmonize into a third, unique scent. Like Oriflame's new Scentsational range. 

Assess your collection 

First, set aside the field for experimentation. Rich fragrances with a complex pyramid won't do: a rattling cocktail will only cause a headache. For blending, you need mono fragrances with one leading note: as a rule, the perfume is named after it. Citrus and vanilla go with almost everything, but mix the flowers carefully. If you want to intensify a certain note, such as jasmine, layer different fragrances with it. 

Test it on paper.

Try combining fragrances by spraying them on a white sheet, no more than three at a time. Experiment until you find an interesting combination - and only then apply to your body. If the scent behaves unpredictably on your skin, you can easily remove it with oil or a waterproof makeup remover.

Create magic

Apply fragrances from the strongest to the lightest. Don't wait until the last one has been absorbed into your skin before spraying them all over the same area, such as your wrists. Play with textures: Scents can be blended not only with each other but also with body creams, perfume oils or lotions. Speaking of textures: shower gel and deodorant count too! Choose products with a neutral scent so they don't interfere with the composition.

An experiment is sure to be a success if you mix specially created fragrances. The Scentsational eau de toilette with a center note of rose will be the base of the image, and the apple blossom perfume spray will help add a new touch. Each product can be worn separately or together to create a third, unique fragrance.
