Did you know you can create a totally unique scent — one that nobody else has — just by layering perfumes?

Fragrance layering (also called scent mixing) is the art of combining two or more perfumes or scented products to create a customized signature scent. It’s fun, personal, and easier than you think.

Let’s break it down.

Why Layer Fragrances?

• To stand out with a unique scent
• To enhance longevity by building layers
• To balance strong or sweet perfumes
• To create a signature that matches your mood or vibe

Start with the Base: Lotion or Body Oil

Before you spray perfume, start with a matching scented lotion or body oil. This boosts performance and builds your scent’s foundation.

At The Marashi Factory, we recommend using our scented body oils under your perfumes — they hold fragrance longer and help it stay richer throughout the day.

Know Your Fragrance Families

Before mixing, understand the basic categories. These layer well:

• Floral + Woody = Soft + sophisticated (e.g. jasmine + sandalwood)
• Citrus + Musk = Fresh + warm (e.g. lemon + white musk)
• Sweet + Spicy = Playful + bold (e.g. vanilla + oud)
• Fruity + Floral = Fun + flirty (e.g. berry + rose)

You can also mix perfumes in the same

Apply in Order: Light to Strong

Always apply lighter scents first, followed by stronger ones.
Think of it like music — start soft, then build intensity.

Example Routine:

1. Scented body lotion or oil
2. Light citrus or floral perfume
3. Heavier base scent (oud, musk, vanilla)

Avoid Clashing Scents

Not all perfumes mix well. Avoid combining too many strong notes like oud, patchouli, and spices at once — they can overpower each other.

Tip: Test mixes on a blotter or your wrist before committing.

Easy Starter Combos

• Rose + Vanilla – soft, romantic, sweet
• Oud + Citrus – bold but fresh
• White Musk + Amber – clean and cozy
• Lavender + Sandalwood – relaxing and elegant

You can even layer duplicate/inspired perfumes to match or recreate a luxury scent with a twist.

Final Word:

Fragrance layering is all about self-expression. Don’t be afraid to experiment until you find a blend that feels like you.
