The African art of layering

Layering is not a Western trend — it is an ancient African tradition. Incense, scented butters, precious oils: our grandmothers already composed their trail in knowing layers.

Rule one: start from a base. A clean musk like Reine de Coton makes a perfect foundation on which everything builds. Rule two: add one character — an amber, a spice — on warm points only. Rule three: never more than two characters at once; luxury is recognised by its restraint.

Our favourite pairing right now: Pure Essence on the body, Vanilla Radiance at the wrists, a veil of Black Amber for the evening. Memorable effect guaranteed.
