The Art of Scent Layering at Home
Learn how to combine fragrances to create a signature atmosphere in your home. Professional tips for layering scents room by room.

# The Art of Scent Layering at Home
Just like you wouldn't wear the same perfume to the gym and a dinner party, your home shouldn't smell the same in every room. Scent layering is the secret to a sophisticated, multi-dimensional atmosphere.
## What is Scent Layering?
Scent layering means using different (but complementary) fragrances in different spaces to create a cohesive sensory journey through your home.
## The Rules
### 1. Stay in the Same Family (Usually)
If your living room has a woody candle, your hallway should lean woody or warm—not suddenly citrus. Think of it like decorating: cohesion matters.
### 2. Use Intensity Wisely
- **Public spaces** (living room, entryway): Bold, statement scents
- **Private spaces** (bedroom, bathroom): Softer, more intimate scents
### 3. Let Rooms Breathe
You don't need a candle in *every* room. Sometimes the best scent is fresh air.
## Our Favorite Layering Combinations
### The Spa Home
- **Bathroom:** Atlas Retreat (fresh, eucalyptus)
- **Bedroom:** Serenity Bath (lavender, clean)
- **Living Room:** Soft background of Riad at Night
### The Warm Evening Home
- **Kitchen/Dining:** Café Matin (cozy, vanilla-coffee)
- **Living Room:** Amber Souk (deep, smoky)
- **Bedroom:** Riad at Night (floral, calming)
### The Minimal Purist
Pick ONE signature scent and use it everywhere. Consistency = luxury. We suggest Serenity Bath for all-day, all-room appeal.
## Pro Tips from Spas
High-end spas use scent layering to guide guests through experiences. You can do the same:
- **Entry:** Light, welcoming (citrus or floral)
- **Treatment rooms:** Deep relaxation (lavender, wood)
- **Exit:** Uplifting, energizing (mint, fresh)
