Tips on Layering Fragrances to Enhance Scent

Tips on Layering Fragrances to Enhance ScentResearcher warned against wearing fragrances. If you are going to wear a perfume, they say, it should be layered – powder, lotion and cologne should all be the same perfume to avoid olfactory clashes. If you want to wear the same scent you’ve always worn but worry that it may cause you trouble at work or in public, you may decide to lighten it by wearing eau de toilette instead of perfume, or you may choose a scented bath gel, body lotion or powder instead and keep the spray or dab-on scent for wearing on special occasions.

Traditional stance on perfumes has been that each woman finds her “signature” scent and it becomes part of personality, scenting her closet, her lingerie and her handbag. Women have often chosen the same perfume their mothers wore, making it part of a family tradition. Researchers encourage women to make more than one scent part of their “signature”. Single note perfumes such as rose, orange, blossom, amber or jasmine are often sold in order to give women the chance to acquire a scent wardrobe to match the mood of any particular day or event.
