Whether you prefer sticking to one signature scent or have a sizable perfume collection that you rotate through, any fragrance lover will tell you that a few sprays of an eau de parfum can only get you so far. If you love the thrill of a good scent–related compliment or want to be smelled from a mile away, your best bet is to start layering your fragrances from the moment you step into the shower. Body washes with similar notes as your perfume of choice and complementary body lotions are a fantastic place to start, but an underrated addition to your collection is a good perfume oil.

“Perfume layering is taking multiple unique scents and wearing them one on top of another to create a new, personalized perfume,” Derek Miller, national sales director at Initio Parfums Privés, tells POPSUGAR. “It may be best to layer scents that have at least one of the same notes. This will help tie them together on the skin.” Certain perfume oils can boost a particular ingredient present in your perfume or create a new scent once combined with another fragrance entirely – this is what makes the process so fun.

It’s not uncommon for a brand to claim that its fragrance oils are guaranteed to make you fall in love, only to fall short, so POPSUGAR editors went ahead and rounded up the best perfume oils for you to choose from. Read ahead to learn more about the products that will make you smell like a snack.
