You know that one person who always smells amazing—like they were born wearing a custom cloud of perfection? Yeah, their secret isn’t a $300 designer perfume… it’s knowing what they love and how to layer it.
Whether you want to find your signature scent or become a layering goddess, you’re in the right place. Bonus? We’re going to show you how to do it with perfume oils—aka the longer-lasting, skin-loving cousin to traditional perfume sprays.
Let’s dive in, shall we?
Step 1: Discover What You Actually Like
Perfume categories are kind of like moods, and you don’t have to pick just one. You might be a vanilla girl and a woodsy witch depending on the day.
Here are a few to start exploring:
Gourmand & Sweet
For the snack queens and cozy girlies who love edible, warm, and cuddly scents.
Think: marshmallow, vanilla, coconut.
Try:
Sweet Dreams
Strawberry Marshmallow
Marshmallow Kiss
Sweet Obsession
Forbidden
Wicked Vanilla
Floral & Romantic
You love soft petals, warm breezes, and a hint of “blooming goddess.”
Think: jasmine, rose, and white florals.
Try:
Flor Dulce
Twilight Jasmine
Jasmine + Vanilla
Gilded Bloom
Prima Donna
Dark, Sultry & Bold
You walk into the room and the vibe shifts. These are for your main-character moments.
Think: woods, musk, coffee, plum.
Try:
That Girl
Midnight
Whisper
Bound
Forbidden (yep, she’s a double agent)
Fresh, Fruity & Uplifting
These feel like sunshine and brunch and clean linen. Perfect for everyday or when you need a mood boost.
Think: berries, citrus, light florals.
Try:
Ethereal Dream
Twilight Jasmine
Flor Dulce
Soft, Woody & Musky (aka Skin Scents)
Your skin, but better. Subtle, sexy, and effortless.
Think: musky, warm, clean, with a whisper of “come closer.”
Try:
Bare
Wicked Vanilla
Whisper
Step 2: Play with Layering
Here’s the thing: perfume oils are amazing for layering. They're more concentrated than sprays, last longer, and bond with your skin's natural oils for a scent that’s uniquely you.
Pro Layering Tips:
Start soft. Use a lighter oil (like a skin scent or floral) as your base.
Add depth. Layer a bolder scent (like gourmand or sultry) on top.
Use pulse points. Wrists, neck, behind ears, inner elbows—anywhere with warmth.
Don’t rub! Dab gently. Let it settle and warm up.
Wait 5 mins. Let the oils mingle with your skin before deciding if it’s love.
Example Pairings to Try:
Wicked Vanilla + Strawberry Marshmallow = creamy, flirty dessert vibes 🍓
Bare + Whisper = minimalist luxury with a mysterious edge
Sweet Dreams + That Girl = sweet, cozy, bold—aka ✨main character energy✨
Ethereal Dream + Jasmine + Vanilla = fresh meets floral—perfect for day dates or errands
Why Oils > Perfume Sprays
Besides being dreamy AF to apply, here’s why perfume oils just make more sense:
Longer lasting (less reapplying, more compliments)
Better for sensitive skin (no alcohol = no dryness or irritation)
More eco + travel friendly (hello, rollerball in your bag)
And hello... handcrafted with love at Flora Skinlab 💕
Final Thought
Finding your signature scent isn’t about picking the right one—it’s about finding what makes you feel amazing. Whether you want to smell like a French bakery, a flower garden, or a leather-bound bookshop with a dark secret… we’ve got you.
So explore, layer, mix, match, and fall in love with your own signature vibe.
Because scent is personal. And yours should feel like you.
