Layering & Usage Tips

To Lighten Up a Heavy Scent: Layer an Amber/Gourmand base with a spray from the Fresh (Citrus or Aquatic) family on top.
To Make a Floral Last Longer: Look for a fragrance that anchors its Floral heart notes onto a Woody (Sandalwood/Cedar) or Amber (Vanilla) base.
To Create a Unisex Profile: Look for hybrids of Aromatic Fresh and Dry Woods.
