Layering Ideas
- To enhance warmth and a gourmand touch, layer with a light vanilla-centric body oil or a subtle amber fragrance.
- To amplify the white floral facets, pair with a simple, elegant tuberose or jasmine soliflore.
- For added depth and a darker, earthier nuance, a single spray of a pure patchouli oil can complement its base beautifully.
