Interesting Layering Combinations?

Discussion

I've never really layered scents before, but after seeing so much about it online, it got me curious to try it out. 

So while I've been on vacation the last week, I brought just a couple of fragrances with me and has given me good cause to get creative. 

I just combined two scents that I've never really thought about going together before, and it has given me so much dopamine. 

I first put on a realistic lavender fragranced body lotion, and then sprayed Demeter's marshmallow with it. I feel like I'm floating around and cocooned in an airy cloud. It smells so good that it's broken my brain a little.

I have a couple of questions for you all. Do you know of a fragrance that showcases marshmallow and lavender together (I don't mean like in a YSL Libre, but more like in a realistic indie/niche way)? And what have you layered together that has surprised you?

Unfortunately I don't, though a cool layered floral/marshmallow scent my wife and I like is Divin'Enfant

I'm generally not super into layering bc it's simply another rabbit hole to research, but accidental layering is different! I am still chasing the high of the first time I smelled Diptyque's Vetyverio. One of the most divine fragrances of my life, but I think it was because it was layered with some other Diptyques that I was sampling that day, and I have no idea which ones. Can't seem to replicate it :(

Oh no! I hope one day you find the correct combo again. I really need to sample more of Diptyque's fragrances. I've only ever tried out Philosykos.

Thank you me too!! Philosykos is great! A somewhat similar one to that is Dandelion Butter by Clue. Not fig, but it does have that sort of delicately sweaty grassy opening mixed with the creamy dry down. I always think of those two together because of the opening notes.

Unfortunately, I do not. Still trying to
find fragrances that feature Spanish lavender instead of the typical French, just because I am a weirdo with a ridiculous preference. 

I'm a fan of Demeter. If you want
to try their Wet Garden, Thunderstorm, Tomato, Earthworm, Dirt, Ambergris, and i think one more, LMK and you're welcome to borrow.

Hey MudLotus! I'm so sorry about the delay in reply. I'm very bad at checking the group posts regularly. 

Welcome to the group! I would love to smell some of your Demeter scents- especially wet Garden, Tomato, and Thunderstorm. Also, I didn't know there were different kinds of lavender! How do the Spanish and French lavenders differ?
