I don't layer often but when you find two that work together it's great, plus the chance of someone else smelling like you now is basically zero. I like layering gucci guilty absolute with givenchy gentleman edp. The sweetness of the gentleman smooths out the smokiness of the guilty and brings out the cedar
Midnight in Paris edt with YSL La Nuit edt is one of my favorites. Sweet and balmy. Three sprays of la Nuit and two sprays of MIP on top of la Nuit. I always spray behind my ears and one to the chest. 3-5 sprays max with all my cologne unless it's weak summer scents
I have layering Club De Nuit Intense Man with Hugo Boss Bottled Intense for over a year now and I get a ton of unsolicited compliments!! I go heavy with Club De Nuit and lighter with the Hugo Boss. It's a great overall scent!!
Thank you Tommy. I have been watching fragrance youTube videos for two years and this is the very first time someone has really spelled out layering for men in any detail. I have 150 fragrances but have never layered fragrances once so this video is greatly appreciated.
Very good how-to video on layering. I thought at one time of layering Jovan Musk and D&G The One. Lol. But I'm not sure I will ever be that big into layering. Some people argue that a fragrance is supposed to be a singular, stand-alone art creation, and layering mucks that up.
Some of my favorites: • Versace Pour Homme + Allure Home Sport • Herod + Mercedes Benz Black • Spicebomb (2 sprays) + The ONE EDP • Channel AHS Edition Blanche + John Varvatos Artisan Pure
Thanks Tommy for the video and some ideas on how to layer. I would think the current transition between summer and fall temperatures would be a good time to try this.
Just tried Mercedes club black over Cremo Spice & Black Vanilla.🔥 The deeper vanilla and incense from the Mercedes is an awesome addition to the Cremo. Adding missing notes instead of adding contrasting ones... Also, Dior homme cologne over Neroli Portofino🤤
Great video Tommy! This is the first one exclusively about layering that I've seen. One layer that I think you might like is Encore Noir and Dunhill Icon. Damn good layer!
Grest video Tommy. I layer all the time with woody fragrances. Usually with 2 but sometimes with 3. Some frags just deserve to be left alone as they are so magnificent by themselves. But layering opens up so many more options..
Kenzo Homme EDP is a fragrance I've been playing around with and have gotten great results from. I have layered it with Cedrat Boise EDP and I've also tried it with Versace EDT. Both combinations are so great I can't choose which 1 I like the most. Both have gotten a ton of compliments. Another combination I use alot is any Aventus clone like CDNIM or Mont Blanc Explorer, layered with Virgin Island Water. Does really great in high heat and adds a little umph to the Aventus DNA
Okay, I have a few…. Blue De Channel (Base[B]) with Polo Red, Afternoon Swim(B) with California Dream or Imagination and Ombre Nomade(B) with Nouveau Monde. Afternoon Swim also layers well with L’Immensite and Meteore….
From my experience, pretty much any fragrance will work really well when layered with Molecule 01, so the product intention is spot on. It adds but a minor pencil shaving, cedar-like nuance that is very pleasant, and does not clash with anything. Molecule 02 for me is not so versatile though, so I actually like layering it with Molecule 01, but not so much with other fragrances at least so far. This is of course very taste-dependent. I'm not fond of aquatics in general, but Molecule 02 allegedly works well with aquatics. Other layerings I have tried that work really well to my nose: - Houbigant Fougere Royale + Dior Fahrenheit - Zara Vibrant Leather Cologne + The Body Shop White Musk for Men - YSL Opium pour Homme + Reminiscence Patchouli Reminiscence Patchouli in my opinion is a great layering option specially with sweet fragrances. Makes them slightly more formal/serious, more mature, less playful. It can stain clothes though, so I'd say apply only on skin or dark fabrics. When layering, the proportions can make a big difference in some cases. For example Fougere Royale and Fahrenheit I can spray equally, but Reminiscence Patchouli I spray only half or less the number of sprays I use for Opium.
@@raphael9197 All of the above, it can also be used on it's own as a minimalistic scent. With respect to how much longer or stronger it might boost some other fragrances, I think safest to not expect anything miraculous.
The only time I try out layering was with Creed Aventus… I bought a recent batch and sillage and projection is really poor, so I layered it with Cedrat Boisee and the result was awesome! This could be a sin for many people, but Aventus is not what it’s use to be… 🤷🏻♂️
A strange combo I found out by accident two years ago was Zara vibrant leather cologne and Dior homme parfum. It was early fall and I was wearing the Zara but I had found a killer deal on the Dior (Bought 2 unopened boxes of first year 2014 batch for $68 a piece and one 75% for $34). So I wanted to wear the Dior and thought the Zara was gone on my skin but it wasn’t. It’s a pretty good layer. You only need one spray of the Dior to a couple with the Zara. I’m sure it would work with Dior homme cologne but I’ve yet to do that. Maybe I will try that this week.
I don't really experiment with layering. There's only one I do, which is Burberry Touch + Dior Homme Cologne. Makes a nice lemon tea scent that works well for me
Here's another tip for the suggestion box: Sel Marin by Heeley and Virgin Island Water by Creed (or Ilsa Tropical Prive by Parfums Vintage, if you want a more lime-heavy take on Virgin Island Water). You'll smell like you've been at the beach all day drinking coconut + lime rum.😊
My fav layering Tool Fragrance for this time of year is St. Barths Vanille west indies its just pure perfume oil and straight sweet caramely vanilla perfect for A thick base. 1 Combo i Love is to layer Cartier declaration Parfum on top of Vanille west indies!
I layer Hugo Boss Just Different and Hugo Red, by first spraying Just Different for that strong sweet scent and spraying Red after for that fresh citrus scent.
I have done this for a long time. It is nothing new. Simply put not any one frag has every aspect that you probably like. Any frag will be lacking in something. Or, any given frag might need a boost to stand out more. A few of my favorite mixes are Bowling Green and Guerlein Vetiver. Bowling Green doesn't have much base and is very aromatically fourgere. G's Vetiver gives it more base structure and adds more green punch. Both a great solo, but when layered...amazing. Another for the cheapies is Ventana with Iceburg Twice. Monteblanc Legend Spirit and any Aventus clone (i.e. Insurrection ll - Reyan Traditions) is an incredibly good combo and lasts for a really long time.
I layerd Paco Rabanne 1 million with oud vanilla by Frank Olivier its my new favorite scent its mesmerizing for me anyway. And if you have not tried oud vanilla by Frank Olivier and you like vanilla with incense it amazing and its only like 25 dollar.
I'm not a chemist, but I once heard a chemist say, "Mathematically, layering doesn't work". Not sure of the mathematics, but when I tried layering, the mixture smelled nothing like either of the 2 fragrances.
Has anyone else tried layering YSL bleu electrique over basic sauvage EDT (the softer newer remormulation) I'm up in the air about it idk of I love it or hate it maybe someone else can try it and post their results here

Your hair looks good this way!! And layering is very difficult to do right
I've been interested in layering my fragrances, but never knew how to go about it. This video was very helpful. Thank you!
Midnight in Paris edt with YSL La Nuit edt is one of my favorites. Sweet and balmy. Three sprays of la Nuit and two sprays of MIP on top of la Nuit.
I always spray behind my ears and one to the chest. 3-5 sprays max with all my cologne unless it's weak summer scents
Great fragrance layering video and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day

I'LL TRY IT.... HACIVAT/CEDRAD BOISE ITS AN AWESOME MIX TOO🤗😊😊

Wearing Azzaro Pour Homme with Davidoff Horizon today.

If you layer azzaro the most wanted with wanted by night you get 1 million edt

Is molecule 01 just for layering or to make a scent longer and stronger??
@@raphael9197 All of the above, it can also be used on it's own as a minimalistic scent. With respect to how much longer or stronger it might boost some other fragrances, I think safest to not expect anything miraculous.
Hay Tom, I layered Azzaro most wanted with a cheap fragrance old spice and my wife loved it, it was only a experiment.
The only time I try out layering was with Creed Aventus… I bought a recent batch and sillage and projection is really poor, so I layered it with Cedrat Boisee and the result was awesome! This could be a sin for many people, but Aventus is not what it’s use to be… 🤷🏻♂️
I do the exact same thing 😂. I spray 50/50 into a mini atomiser, I love it
I MIX HACIVAT/CEDRAD BOISE... INVICTUS/SAUVAGE.... ITS A BOMB!!🤗🤗😊
A couple of my favorites:
Sauvage X Ultra Male
Prada L’homme X Office for men
BR 540 X pretty much anything

I have been layering Chanel Bleu Parfum with Sauvage Elixir

Yea I did that 540 with oud for glory
I layer Hugo Boss Just Different and Hugo Red, by first spraying Just Different for that strong sweet scent and spraying Red after for that fresh citrus scent.
I layer my Versace PH and Chanel allure home sport. PH helps with the performance on my skin and I get more creaminess from the chanel that I love.
The creaminess was in channel is everything
I do the same lol
Great vid!! I currently have a base layer of Encre Noir and topped with Ed Hardy Love & Luck.
How about Encre Noir layered with Diptyque Tam Dao? Wood, wood, and more wood.
I guess layering a winter type fragrance and a summer type fragrance. Wouldn't be so good?
Giorgio black special edition and Giorgio brown special edition Hidden gem . Smell amazing and affordable price.
Base Aqua di Gio Profumo
Top Versace Eros.
One on one. 🔥
Smells Niche’
Givenchy Gentleman EDP layered with Banana Republic Leather Reserve is an awesome masculine combo. At least for me.

I got bored and tried cremo bourbon and oak on bottom and the one eau de toilette on top🤷♂️ made the one project pretty nice🤷♂️
I layerd Paco Rabanne 1 million with oud vanilla by Frank Olivier its my new favorite scent its mesmerizing for me anyway. And if you have not tried oud vanilla by Frank Olivier and you like vanilla with incense it amazing and its only like 25 dollar.
Versace eros edp and Kirke / Erba Pura. so fruity and sweet
what perfume layering with hugo boss energize? thankyou
I'm not a chemist, but I once heard a chemist say, "Mathematically, layering doesn't work". Not sure of the mathematics, but when I tried layering, the mixture smelled nothing like either of the 2 fragrances.
Benz club black and man in black or ch prive or spicebomb my favorite is with mib
I tried Man In Black Orient with YSL L'Homme and was very pleasantly surprised! If anyone else tries it, please let me know what you think.
Barbour & Eternity works well
I layer some fragrances
I once layers bade sublime with Al fursan and it smell like Hawaiian Punch and pineapple 🍍
Has anyone else tried layering YSL bleu electrique over basic sauvage EDT (the softer newer remormulation) I'm up in the air about it idk of I love it or hate it maybe someone else can try it and post their results here
Try one million lucky with Armaf milestone , insane
Any suggestions out there?
In short.... follow your nose and check Fragrantica dot com for similar notes.
