One of the most fashionable trends of recent years is the practice of scent combining. A lot of column inches have been written in newspapers and magazines and many expensive scent houses make a lot of fuss about what is the most simple of concepts that most of us have been doing for years anyway.
It's as simple as choosing 2 or more fragrances to layer on your skin – usually from different formats. For example, you might use a rose smoothie in your bath and then a jasmine perfume. Or an orange bath bomb and a chocolate body butter.
Every fragrance that you use has a unique quality that challenges and tantalises the senses in it's own way – and don't forget that you have a fragrance too. What smells good on your best friend might not smell so good on you!
Many scents are known to complement each other through "common wisdom" (or cooking – look at cakes!): orange and lemon, champagne and chocolate, rose and jasmine, etc so there's plenty of inspiration if you don't know where to start.
Because the combinations are limited only by your imagination, you will always be able to create a fresh new scent for yourself whenever you like. Mix, match and layer bath bombs or salts or oils with moisturisers and / or colognes. Eventually you will settle on your favourite combinations and these will be your signature scents.
Easy when you know how isn't it?
