How I Scent Layer ✨

Today's scent combo was made out of trying to make the body mist If you Musk work for me. I ordered it during the SAS sale for like $4 bc I heard it smelled good BUT for me and my nose.. it's very screechy like when you smell something it makes your nose flare and burn?! That's what it does to me. Now the task of making it work and this is how I go about doing my scent layers:

💡 First, I pick out a note that I can find in other products. If you Musk has an airy note to it and the first thing that came to mind to balance it out was to layer it with a powdery, cloud like scent thus Ariana Grande Cloud was the perfect choice. I first sprayed them on a paper towel as I don't have any test strips and was like this is it but I didn't want to stop there. I felt like they needed something to help bring out both fragrances for a better melody.

🍬 I then decided my lotion or body butter would need to have a sweet, musky scent as both fragrances have a mild musk undertone and the Whipped Shea & Sugar with it's burnt sugar creme brulee was the final addition!

💕 That's how I scent layer! I keep it simple and sample the items on a paper towel or test trip before applying to make sure I'm loving the scent profile and I only do 3 at the most different scents to blend together ✨

... Read moreScent layering is a fantastic way to personalize your fragrance experience, allowing you to create unique combinations tailored to your preferences. When selecting fragrances, consider the notes involved; for example, airy notes may pair beautifully with powdery scents to enhance depth. Products with complementary notes, such as musks and sweet undertones, can create a balanced scent profile. Popular layering combinations include mixing floral and gourmand fragrances to achieve complexity. For instance, combining a light floral like lavender with sweeter notes such as vanilla or caramel can yield a delightful, well-rounded scent. Testing combinations on paper towels helps in assessing the scent blend without commitment. Remember, keeping your layers to a maximum of three different fragrances allows for a harmonious composition that doesn’t overwhelm the senses. The beauty of scent layering is that it can be as simple or as intricate as you wish. You can also explore layering with lotions or body butters that complement the fragrances you’ve chosen, such as opting for a rich whipped shea butter with notes of burnt sugar to enhance and ground your final scent. Enjoy experimenting with different combinations to find what works best for you!

is there different sense in the Shea and sugar? because the app I'm looking on has things listed beneath it. so is it just one of the Shea and sugar or are there different fragrances in it?
