The Art of Layering Fragrances

LUMIÈRE Editors 20 February 2026 1 min read

Create a scent that is uniquely yours by combining fragrances.

Fragrance layering is the art of combining two or more scents to create something entirely your own.

The key principle is balance. Start with complementary families — a woody base pairs beautifully with floral or citrus accents.

Apply the heavier, longer-lasting fragrance first, then layer the lighter one on top.

Less is more. Begin with light applications and build gradually.
