Perfume experts explain how to create a personal fragrance by scent layering, from why you should apply lotion first to what smells to match
When it comes to a beauty routine, scent might just be the most personal part, and fragrance lovers are becoming increasingly creative with theirs. The most recent trend? Scent layering.
But how do you create something that smells great without going nose blind? How do you avoid overwhelming a room the moment you walk in?
