Smell Like You: Our Guide to Mixing & Matching Perfume Scents

Okay, real talk: why settle for one signature scent when you can literally create your own custom vibe? Mixing and matching perfumes (also called fragrance layering) is basically the ultimate way to express your personality. Think of it like building your dream outfit, but for your aura. ✨

The first rule of layering? There are no rules. Well… kind of. Start by choosing a scent with base notes that are warm and grounded, like vanilla, musk, or sandalwood. These act like your fragrance foundation. Then, add a brighter, lighter scent like citrus, florals, or even a splash of something intriguing (hello musk & amber!) to give your combo some edge or freshness. Pro tip: keep it to two or three layers max. This isn’t a perfume smoothie.

If you're new to the mix game, try sticking with perfumes from the same fragrance family. That way, you're less likely to end up smelling like a chaotic cloud of Bath & Body Works circa 2006 (no shade, we’ve all been there). Oh, and don’t just rub them together on your wrists. Spritz each scent on different pulse points (like your neck and wrists) so they blend naturally on your skin as you move.

At the end of the day, the best scent combo is the one that makes you feel confident, cool, and a little bit magical. So go wild, experiment, and create a vibe that says, “this is me” without ever saying a word. 💅
