At Kleio Paris, we believe that your fragrance is an extension of your personality—a signature that leaves a lasting impression. While each of our perfumes is crafted to be captivating on its own, there’s an exciting way to elevate your fragrance experience: layering.
What is Perfume Layering?
Perfume layering involves combining multiple scents to create a unique and personalized fragrance. By layering different notes, you can craft a signature scent that is truly your own. This technique not only enhances the complexity of the fragrance but also allows for greater versatility and creativity.
Why Layer Perfumes?
- Personalization: Layering allows you to customize your scent, making it distinct and reflective of your mood or occasion.
- Depth and Complexity: Combining different fragrances can add depth and dimension, creating a more sophisticated and intriguing aroma.
- Longevity: Some fragrance combinations can help certain notes last longer on your skin, providing a more enduring scent experience.
The Basics of Layering Perfumes
- Start with a Base: Choose a base fragrance that you love. This will be the foundation of your layered scent. It’s usually best to start with a simple, neutral fragrance such as a single floral or musk note.
- Add Middle Notes: The middle notes should complement the base. These are often more complex and can include florals, spices, or herbs.
- Top it Off: Finally, add a top note to give a fresh burst of scent. Citrus, green, or aquatic notes work well here as they add brightness and lift to the overall composition.
Creating Combinations with Kleio Paris Fragrances
With our five distinct fragrances, you have a myriad of possibilities for layering:

3. Silencio + Paradise Lost
- Combination: Apply Silencio’s spicy and citrusy top notes (Bergamot, Lemon, Pepper) first, then layer with the aromatic and fruity heart notes of Paradise Lost (Pink Pepper, Jasmine, Birch, Patchouli).
- Result: An alluring scent that is both bold and fresh, with a deep, musky, and ambery base.
4. Poeme Mystique + Kleio 1796

Tips for Successful Layering:
- Test on Skin: Always test the combinations on your skin to see how the fragrances interact with your body chemistry.
- Less is More: Start with a small amount of each fragrance and build up if necessary.
- Experiment: Don’t be afraid to try unexpected combinations. Some of the most unique scents come from experimenting with different notes.
We encourage you to experiment and discover what suits your preference best. With five unique fragrances, you can create numerous combinations to reflect your individual style and mood. Enjoy the journey of creating your signature scent with Kleio Paris!
