Layering Scents: How to Layer Scents
At Aery, we believe fragrance is more than just a finishing touch, it’s part of your daily ritual. A grounding moment, a subtle way to bring a sense of calm and clarity to your space.
This is where the art of scent layering and scent pairing comes into its own. Much like curating a playlist or styling favourite pieces in your wardrobe, it’s all about combining fragrances that complement each other and reflect how you want to feel.
What is Scent Layering?
Scent layering is the practice of using more than one fragrance (typically in different formats like candles, reed diffusers, and room mists) to build a richer and longer-lasting scent experience.
You might start with a reed diffuser as your daily base, light a matching candle in the evening for warmth, and finish with a gentle misting of room spray for an instant refresh. It’s a simple but effective way to surround yourself with scent that supports your energy throughout the day.
For example, layering Happy Space across a diffuser, mist and candle brings a joyful mix of rose and amber into your home that feels consistent and calming, without ever overpowering.
The Joy of Scent Pairing
Scent pairing is slightly different. It’s about blending complementary fragrances: two scents that sit beautifully together to create a unique and personal fragrance profile.
Whether you’re setting the tone for a relaxed evening or welcoming guests with an inviting scent, pairing fragrances allows you to scent your home in a way that feels just right for the moment.
