Fragrance layering guide

Jasmine & Musk

Jasmine and musk is the quietest pairing that still registers. Musk does not announce itself; it makes the jasmine feel like it belongs to the wearer rather than to the bottle.

How to layer it

  1. 1Musk first, applied broadly — it functions as a fixative across the whole torso.
  2. 2Add jasmine at a single point behind the ear; indolic florals amplify with body heat.
  3. 3Avoid layering over scented body lotion, which will muddy the floral.
  4. 4Reapply the musk rather than the jasmine if the trail fades.
