Fragrance experts, perfumers, olfactive consultants, and home scent specialists can you answer what jumps out or speaks to you?
1. What is “scent layering” for the home? How do you define or describe this concept? Do you see it as a trend right now?
2. How can someone get started with scent layering at home? What should they consider when choosing a base scent (i.e., cleaning products), mid-layer (candles, plug-ins), and top notes (room or linen sprays, fresh elements)? What flowers might work well?
3. Are there general principles of layering that work well — or that can go wrong — in a home setting? For instance, what’s the best way to avoid sensory overload or clashing scents?
4. Any favorite scent families or notes that work well? Do you suggest sticking to a single scent profile (e.g. vanilla or florals), or can people successfully mix and match?
What about scent sensitivities? How can people keep things light, fresh, and not too overpowering — for themselves or their guests?
5. Any tips for making scents last longer (I.e. candle warmers vs. lighting a candle?)
