- Apply in Order: Begin with the lighter scent and layer the deeper or more intense fragrance on top to prevent overpowering.
- Use Complementary Notes: Look for scents that share common ingredients or harmonious profiles to create a seamless blend.
- Experiment on Skin: Fragrances interact differently with individual body chemistry, so test your combinations to find your perfect match.
