Quick Answer
Layer your Bergamot & Hinoki body wash, deodorant, and lotion in that order to build a cohesive woody citrus scent that lasts from morning to evening.
Why Layering Matters for Woody Citrus Scents
Bergamot is a top note that fades quickly on its own, while hinoki wood provides a quiet base that can get lost if you apply products in the wrong order. Layering locks in both ends of the scent profile without overwhelming your senses.
The Bergamot Set gives you three matching products, but you don't have to use all three every day. Adjust based on your skin type and how much scent you want.
Step-by-Step Layering Routine
- Start with the Body Wash: In the shower, use the Bergamot & Hinoki body wash to cleanse and lightly scent your skin. The warm steam helps open pores so the fragrance absorbs better. Don't rinse too quickly—let the wash sit for 30 seconds to get a faint base note.
- Apply the Deodorant While Damp: After patting dry, apply the Bergamot & Hinoki deodorant to clean underarms. The dampness helps the formula spread evenly and adhere to skin. Skip the deodorant if you're already wearing a different antiperspirant—mixing formulas can block the scent.
- Lock It In with Body Lotion: Finish with the Bergamot & Hinoki body lotion on arms, chest, and legs. The lotion acts as a fixative, slowing the evaporation of the citrus top notes and extending the woody dry-down. Use a pea-sized amount on pulse points (wrists, neck) for a subtle boost without greasiness.
