How to Layer Perfume and Body Oil for Long-Lasting Fragrance
Share
When it comes to smelling amazing all day, there’s a secret beyond just spraying perfume—layering your fragrance with body oil. This simple but luxurious step not only boosts your scent’s longevity but also enhances your skincare routine.
Here’s how to do it right.
Step 1: Start With Clean, Moisturized Skin
Fragrance lasts longer on hydrated skin. After showering, gently pat your skin dry and while it’s still slightly damp, apply a rich body oil. Our Blanc & Noire body oils are specially formulated to lock in moisture and provide a long-lasting scent base.
Step 2: Apply Body Oil to Pulse Points
Focus your body oil on areas where your skin is naturally warmer—wrists, inner elbows, neck, and behind the knees. These pulse points help diffuse the fragrance over time.
Choose a body oil that complements or enhances your perfume. For example, Vanilla Vibes (inspired by Vanilla Powder) pairs beautifully with musky or gourmand perfumes, while Fruit Nectar (inspired by Erba Pura) layers well under citrus or fruity perfumes.
Step 3: Add Your Perfume
Once your body oil has absorbed, spritz your perfume over the same pulse points. Because the oil holds onto the fragrance molecules, it acts as a primer—extending your scent for hours longer than perfume alone.
Step 4: Don’t Forget to Refresh
For long days, keep a mini rollerball or a travel-sized version of your body oil or perfume with you. A midday touch-up keeps the fragrance journey going, without being overwhelming.
Bonus Tips for Layering Like a Pro
Match notes or moods: Pair vanilla oils with amber perfumes, fruity oils with florals, or layer opposites to create something new.
Avoid alcohol-based moisturizers before layering, as they can dry out skin and weaken scent longevity.
Use an unscented lotion if you want your perfume to shine but still need a moisturizing base.

Fragrance molecules bind better to oil than to dry skin. That’s why body oils are a game-changer—they nourish your skin and elevate your scent.
