Your Guide to Scent Layering

Scent layering—aka “scentmaxxing” or "fragrancemaxxing"—invites you to experiment, build intensity and create a fragrance ritual that is entirely your own. There are two schools of thought about layering. One believes a complex scent should stand on its own and not be blended; the other welcomes experimentation, a chance for different fragrances to be cocktailedtogether. 

For those who absolutely adore one scent, there’s the vertical approach: layering the same fragrance across different formats, from body wash and exfoliator to moisturizer, body oil and fragrance. Layering products with the same scent means that the fragrance unfolds throughout the day, like an evolving olfactive cloud.

OSEA's iconic uplifting Undaria citrusy scent was made for this kind of fragrancemaxxing.A burst of bright grapefruit and zesty lime meld with crisp cypress and sweet mango-mandarin, transporting the senses to sunshine-filled days, no matter the season.

Ahead, discover how to layer your OSEA essentials for a richer, longer-lasting fragrance experience that’s uniquely yours. 

How to Layer Undaria Products

The secret is to apply each product from lightest to heaviest, building the Undaria scent from your first cleanse to your final layer of fragrance. 

Undaria Algae™ Body Wash

Start in the shower with our silky, seaweed-powered body wash. Its bright citrusy scent creates the first layer of Undaria, as a plant-based surfactant blend gently cleanses without stripping the skin. Aloe and glycerin hydrate, while nourishing jojoba, coconut and avocado oils leave skin feeling soft, smooth and ready for the next step.

Salts of the Earth Body Scrub Body Polish

Sink into a scrub like you’ve never felt before. Our skin-softening formula transforms into a gentle exfoliator as you work it into the skin. Mineral-rich salts from around the world buff away roughness, while shea butter and wild Gigartina seaweed nourish for silky-smooth, glowing skin. A sensory experience of lavender and rosemary that layers beautifully with the citrusy Undaria.

Anti-Aging Body Balm

Our silky body balm combines the lasting hydration of a lotion with the anti-aging benefits of a serum. Alaria seaweed improves appearance of skin elasticity and makes skin feel firmer all over. Super-nourishing formula softens skin with a combination of passion fruit, coconut, acai and babassu oils that blends amazingly with the Undaria scent. All-day hydration while you glow!
