These Deodorants and Perfumes are the Perfect Pairs to Layer

Ellis Brooklyn Vanilla Milk ($108) + Native Deodorant Spray in Coconut & Vanilla ($14)

Ellis Brooklyn is one of my favorite perfume companies. It’s hard to choose between all of their unique scents, but Vanilla Milk is a clear frontrunner for me. This is the combo that sparked the idea to pair my perfume and deodorant more thoughtfully. One day I applied Vanilla Milk along with my Native Deodorant Spray with scents of coconut and vanilla, and it all made sense. I get compliments on the scent duo all the time now.

Byredo Gypsy Water ($200) + Salt & Stone Deodorant Gel in Bergamot & Eucalyptus ($20)

Gypsy Water is one of Byredo’s best-selling scents. It features deep woody and citrus notes. When paired with Salt & Stone Deodorant in Bergamot & Eucalyptus, the duo create a scent that’s at once energizing and grounding.

Maison Margiela REPLICA Jazz Club ($144) + Molton Brown Deodorant Stick in Tobacco Absolute ($20)

This pair is the perfect cocktail for late nights on the town. Maison Margiela Jazz Club smells of lemon, pink pepper, rum accord, vanilla and smoky tobacco. The Molton Brown deodorant adds depth to the tobacco scent and introduces other complimentary notes like leather, cedarwood and Peruvian balsam.
