When I was around 6 years old I decided that all the perfumes and colognes from my mother and father would be better mixed . So I became a mixer of fragrances; unsuccessfully at the beginning but better with time.Sharing already shared information from a magazine then posted here.
P.S. If you are in Florence, do try to visit Lorenzo Villoresi as well (although his fragrances are available in NYC, the experience of visiting his studio is quite something.) If you like Comme des Garcons spicy-incensy fragrances, you might also find his very appealing.Moreover, I have a few articles from French magazines which run suggestions given by the top perfumers in the industry. Here is one excerpt:
"The Rules of Successful Layering according to French ELLE magazine
The safest way to do it is with citrus notes. They blend easily with floral, woodsy and even ambery fragrances. Such combinations enable you to associate two different 'scent worlds' and prevent either of the two fragrances being redundant.
