Fragrance layering is the art of combining two or more perfumes to create a unique, personalised scent. This technique, long practised in Arabian perfumery, is gaining popularity among fragrance enthusiasts in Kenya.

Here are some expert tips for layering fragrances from our team at Hilton Perfumes LTD:

• Start with a base — Apply a heavier, longer-lasting fragrance first (e.g., an oud or musk)
• Add a middle layer — Apply a floral or spicy fragrance on top
• Finish with a light top note — A fresh or citrus fragrance as the final layer
• Apply to pulse points — Wrists, neck, and behind the ears for best results
• Less is more — Start with small amounts and build up gradually

Try layering Khamra with Yara for a rich, floral-oud combination, or combine Hayati with Brown Orchid for a fresh-woody blend. Visit any of our branches to experiment with layering.
