Applying deodorant is an essential part of daily care, but many people don’t think about how to harmonize its scent with other fragrances, such as perfume. However, in order to create a coherent, well-balanced fragrance composition, it is essential that the different products are in harmony with each other. Deodorant is not only a means of protection against body odor, but can also become part of the development of the fragrance character, so its role cannot be neglected in the daily fragrance routine.

Why is the scent of deodorant so important?
A deodorant its primary task is to neutralize and prevent body odor, but most types are already enriched with different scents that stay with us throughout the day and can harmonize or clash with the scent of our perfume or other fragrances. That is why it is so important to choose the deodorant consciously, so that its scent harmonizes with the other aromas that we use.
Deodorants are usually made with fresher, lighter scents, such as citrus, floral or woody notes. However, if you use a strong perfume, the smell of the deodorant may mix too much with the perfume, which is confusing. To avoid this, you should choose a deodorant that either has a neutral scent or has similar fragrance notes as the perfume.
How to choose the right breed?
The first step to creating a harmonious fragrance composition is to pay attention to the coordination of the fragrance notes of the deodorant and other perfumes. If you don’t want to feel too many layers of fragrance on yourself, you should choose a deodorant that has a neutral or barely perceptible scent. This way, the smell of the perfume can dominate, while the deodorant fulfills its basic function. If you absolutely want the aroma of all your perfumes to form a harmonious unit, look for a deodorant that resembles perfume in its scent notes. For example, if we use a citrus EDP, a citrus-scented deodorant can complement it well. Some scents can be combined well, while others can clash with each other. For example, a sweet, vanilla-scented deodorant may not go well with a spicy or woody perfume. That is why it is worth avoiding contrasting scents, which confuse the senses rather than provide a pleasant overall effect. In the world of perfumes and fragrances, there are many fragrance families, such as floral, woody, oriental or citrus notes. If our perfume belongs to a specific fragrance family, it may be worth choosing a deodorant from the same or similar fragrance family to make sure they harmonize with each other.
Scent layering is an art
Scent layering is a technique of using multiple fragrances in sequence to create a complex, deeper scent. This can be achieved not only by using perfumes or eau de toilette, but also by using deodorants, body lotions and other scented products. The goal is for these scents to complement each other and not compete with each other. When layering, it is important that the scents are not too strong or different, otherwise the end result can become confusing. Mastering the art of layering takes a bit of experimentation. For example, a milder-smelling deodorant can go well with a stronger, spicy perfume, while a stronger-smelling body lotion can provide a suitable base for a lighter-smelling eau de toilette.
