There’s something magical about discovering your signature scent. It’s like capturing your personality in a bottle—a unique blend that feels just you.

Let’s explore how to layer fragrances using Beladoce Botanicals’ Brazilian-inspired perfumes.

 

1. Start with a Base Scent

 

Your base scent is like the canvas for your fragrance masterpiece. Choose a perfume with warm, grounding notes like vetiver, vanilla, or tonka.

 

For example, Água Doce is perfect for this. With its blend of honey, brown sugar, and vetiver, it creates a rich, golden foundation.

 

Pro tip: Spritz your base scent on pulse points (wrists, neck, and behind your knees) for lasting wear.

 

2. Add a Complementary Mid-Layer

 

Next, add a fragrance with floral or fruity notes to enhance your base. This is where Doce Mel shines. Inspired by Rio de Janeiro’s tropical blooms, it brings a sweet, sun-kissed vibe with Brazilian orchids and nostalgic beachy undertones.

 

Why it works: The florals in Doce Mel harmonize beautifully with the gourmand base of Água Doce, creating a tropical yet sophisticated aroma.

 

3. Finish with a Bright Top Note

 

Finally, choose a lighter fragrance to add brightness and sparkle. Docinha, with its playful cherry, vanilla, and rose blend, is perfect for this step. A quick spritz over your hair or clothing ties everything together, leaving an airy, flirtatious impression.

 

Pro tip: Apply the top note lightly—just one or two sprays—so it doesn’t overpower the other layers.

 

4. Experiment and Play

 

The best part about fragrance layering is that there are no hard rules. Love the idea of combining Rainha do Mar’s oceanic jasmine with Doce Mel’s floral sweetness? Go for it! Trust your intuition and let your nose guide you.

Key tips for success:

Stick to perfumes with shared elements (e.g., florals, woods, or gourmands).

Apply the heaviest scent first, moving to the lightest.

Test your combinations at home to see how they evolve over time.
