Looking in your vanity table and realised that you have too much unfinished perfume? That will be a constant issue for us, girls. Same for me, I will never be content just to have one perfume!
Today, I will be sharing some tips to maximise the use of your perfume – which is call perfume layering. It allows you to create your own new scents that matches your mood or style of the day.
When layering your perfumes, start with the heaviest scents which are normally the ones that are musky and end with the lighter scents. The logic behind the order is so the first perfume you sprayed is not being covered by the next perfume scents you are going to put.
Opposite always attracts, it is the same for perfume. Try mixing from different category often will turn out better than mixing within the same category. For an example, mix a citrusy perfume with one that is very heavy woodsy scents will give you a something intense yet sophisticated, ladylike scent.
It will be inevitable to not find floral ingredient in the ladies’ perfume. Not only does it give the perfume a soft and feminine scents, it can also become musky. However, flower or should I say orchids in general have more function than we know.
