Layering Guide

The Art of Fragrance Layering.

Attars are concentrated, non-alcoholic, and formulated to blend directly on the skin.

Apply each attar to a different pulse point. Let them develop separately for 10 minutes before assessing the combination. Fragrance layering is personal — these are starting points, not prescriptions.

How to Layer

01

Choose your primary attar

The dominant mood you want to carry.

02

Choose your secondary attar

The note you want underneath or beside it.

03

Apply to separate pulse points

Wrist, collar, and behind the ear are the most effective for contrast.

04

Allow 10 minutes to settle

Assess the combined effect on your skin before deciding.
