What Is Scent Stacking (Perfume Layering)?
Scent stacking means applying two compatible scents to create a new signature. Think: a stable base + a lighter top. In the Gulf, oud/musk/amber can be excellent bases, then you lift them with vanilla, rose, powdery notes, or citrus.
7 Rules for Perfect Layering (No Mistakes)
- Rule 1: Start with 2 layers only.
- Rule 2: Use a clean base first: musk / amber / light night scent.
- Rule 3: Wait 60–90 seconds before the second spray.
- Rule 4: Keep the second scent lighter than the base.
- Rule 5: Kuwait summer rule: less is more (2 sprays + 1 spray).
- Rule 6: Don’t rub wrists (it breaks top notes).
- Rule 7: Test at home for 1 hour before a big event.
Best Combos for Kuwait & GCC (Fast Ideas)
