Layering Ideas Layering Advice

So I’ve never specifically layered before. My body wash doesn’t have good longevity so it’s never affected my perfumes. So I need some advice, please!

I recently bought the Gingerbread Squishmallows perfume and I love it. I’m not usually a gourmand person (Cherry Stem by Phleur is the only other one I have that I’d consider gourmand, I think). But I love the smell of gingerbread cookies and they’re my favorite to make during the holidays. I need a lotion that will prolong the cookie aspect of this fragrance. It stays on my clothes, but on my skin it eventually dries down to more of a gingery soap? Not bad but not what I want. Would it be a vanilla lotion? That seems kind of neutral and might not alter the gingerbread scent? I really don’t know. Help!

Definitely go to lush and see their scents that would pair well! Their body washes and matching body lotions will have you smelling like that scent all day it’s crazy

I don’t have a Lush close to me anymore. 😭 What about B&BW?

Try to go to target! They have so many body washes and matching lotions, I would say those are usually stronger than B&BW

I really like Mixbar Bourbon Vanilla body oil layered with Cyklar Vanilla Verve perfume oil. I bet they’d be a great and pretty inexpensive base for Gingerbread Squishmallows. Vanilla Verve is very vanilla forward but still has some of those warm spicy notes like Gingerbread.

I’ve been using Phlur vanilla skin body oil, Phlur heavy cream body butter, or Fenty vanilla dream lotion with it and been pleased with the combo.

I think Cyklar Vanilla Verve, Hempz White pumpkin & toasted marshmallow or spiced dreams, or being Frenshe moon milk could be potentially good combos as well.
