Personalise your perfume, the Rih & Sol way.

No two people smell a fragrance the same way, and that’s the beauty of it. At Rih & Sol, we believe perfume should feel as personal as your handwriting. Something that lingers, expresses, and evolves with you. That’s where scent layering comes in: a quiet, creative rebellion against one-size-fits-all perfumery.

What is Scent Layering?

Layering is the practice of combining two or more perfumes to create something deeply personal. A signature blend. A scent that doesn’t just smell good, it smells like you. It's a tradition rooted in Middle Eastern fragrance rituals, and a practice we love bringing into the everyday.

Our perfumes, whether smoky and rich like Black Gold or sweet like Candy Lust, are designed to stand alone, but also layer beautifully together. They create something a bit unexpected, something softer, warmer, and more balanced.

A Little of This, A Touch of That

If you're drawn to the smoky spice of Black Gold, try softening it with the sweet, creamy notes of Candy Lust. The result? Something dark, warm, and unexpectedly addictive. 

Prefer something brighter for day and bolder by night? Start with Purple Haze in the morning, its sparkling flowery notes give an easy, cheerful start, and add a spritz of Black Gold before heading out for dinner. The transformation is subtle but unforgettable.

Tips to Get Started

  • Start Light: Begin with a lighter scent as your base, then add something deeper or stronger.
  • Use a Common Thread: If both perfumes share a note—like vanilla, musk, or rose—they're more likely to blend well.
  • Don’t Overdo It: Two is usually enough. Layering too many scents can overwhelm the senses.
  • Test on Skin, Not Paper: Your skin’s chemistry plays a big role in how scents mix and evolve.
  • Apply to pulse points: Wrists, neck, behind the ears. These areas help the scent evolve with your body heat.


Less Rules. More Intuition.

Layering isn’t about getting it right. It’s about what feels right to you. Your skin chemistry, mood, season, even your outfit, can shift how a fragrance wears. 

Whichever way you wear them, wear them your way.
