Scent stacking isn’t a trend. It’s a lifestyle. Whether you just discovered it because of Pinterest’s 2026 trends prediction or if you’ve been unknowingly participating because you have a giant fragrance collection (like yours truly), scent stacking is here to stay.
Previously, we were all obsessed with finding the perfect signature fragrance. The one true scent to wear every single day. But for beauty and fragrance lovers, wearing just one scent forever is impossible. Plus, there are only so many unique perfumes out there for sale. It’s likely you’ll smell like someone else eventually. If you scent stack, though, that likelihood is way less.
According to Pinterest, scent stacking is like Gen Z and Millennials are playing potions with “bespoke notes, blending oils and perfumes to craft their very own fragrance formulas.”
Take it from this beauty writer who has a fragrance collection of over 20 bottles (and that’s just the full-sized ones, I haven’t begun to count the travel sizes), scent stacking is easy and so much fun!
