7 New Ways to Wear PerfumeLayering fragrances may sound complicated, but it's easier than you think -- if you know how to do it. Here are the tips that'll teach you how to wear perfume the new way |
At least 1,000 new fragrances will come out this year. (To put that number into perspective, only 76 new scents were released in 1991.) With so many fragrances to choose from, you'd think that finding your ideal scent would be easier. But how many times have you smelled a perfume and wished it were a hint sweeter or a little lighter? Instead of sniffing thousands of scents in search of the perfect one (which sounds like a major headache -- literally!), wouldn't it be great if you knew how to wear the perfume you already have -- better?
That's where layering fragrances comes in. In this case, we're not talking about mixing two perfumes, which experts say can be extremely tricky even for a trained nose. Instead, it's about incorporating the right scents into other aspects of your beauty routine to make your perfume work better for you. "Ideally, layering is about choosing a body wash and lotion that will help extend your scent throughout the day," says Franco Wright, co-owner of the Scent Bar in Los Angeles.
Skip ahead to learn how to layer fragrances.
Not only can you make your fragrance last longer, but there are also tricks to change your scent for different seasons or wear it in unique ways for more impact. Basically, how you wear perfume is just as important as the fragrance you wear. So, follow these seven tips to get the most out of your favorite perfume now.

I've always layered, it's the best way to keep your scent all day long. Soap, lotion, cologne, and mist threw out the day!

Lotions with a body mist is great for layering but not too heavy either.

I always read you shouldn't spray perfume on your hair, especially if you perm or color it!
