For its 25th anniversary, Dutch cosmetics and niche perfume chain Skins launched its own perfume house, Layer+. Skins describes Layer+'s four fragrance enhancers as "an addition. A twist on the scent you're already wearing. You use it in combination with other fragrances or on its own. An enhancer emphasizes. It adds an extra layer. It's subtle. It makes your fragrance even more refined."
Layer+ introduces fragrance enhancers like Woody, with deep and earthy notes, and Milky, a sweet, creamy, familiar scent with nutty notes, musk, vanilla absolute and Ambretone.
A new generation of fragrance fans doesn’t always want to wear scents straight from the bottle. Instead, they're passionate about mixing, matching, and layering to create personalized scents that match how they desire to feel.
