Perfume is an expression of who you are. The right one invites confidence and helps you to find your true essence. Therefore, when it comes to buying a certain fragrance, it is important to carefully choose one.
One of the surefire ways to make a statement is to create something unique by the art of fragrance layering. Simply put, it is the creative way of mixing two or more scents to create a more personal scent. Since each scent has its own characteristics, layering fragrances is a matching of moods and personalities.
To become your own perfumer you don't need an elite Grasse certification. A good starting point to pairing and personalization is to take two fragrances with the same or similar notes. Just spray one perfume after another onto your skin and voila you have a unique scent that will make you stand out.
For example; you can try Dossier's Aromatic Star Anise and Woody Sage. Their dupe fragrances beautifully complement each other so as to suit the occasion or your mood. Inspired by dior sauvage and jo malone's wood sage & sea salt respectively, the mix and match of these two fragrances creates a complimentary blend that leaves a lasting impression.
If you're not quite sure which one to choose, below we've curated a list of their fragrances and how to layer them, so read on to shop our picks ahead.
