How to Create Your Signature Scent with Mama Aswan Skincare
Ever caught a whiff of someone and thought, “WOW—what is that scent they’re wearing and why do I suddenly want to hug them forever?” That, my friend, is the magic of a signature scent. The secret to achieving that magical, long-lasting aroma? It’s not in a $200 perfume bottle—it’s in your skincare routine.
With Mama Aswan’s Creamy Shealoe Butter and Sugar Scrub Gel, you can build a fragrance that’s personal, layered, and absolutely irresistible. You’ll smell like you, but on vacation. In a spa. Living your entire best life!
Smell Like You (But Better)
Layer our sugar scrubs and shealoe butter to smell so good and feel so divine you’ll wonder if you should start charging for hugs.
So...What Is “Fragrance Layering” Anyway?
According to RealSimple, there’s an art to layering scents. Fragrance layering is the process of combining different scented products—think scrubs and butters—to create a scent that’s uniquely yours. Unlike perfume, which can disappear faster than your weekend plans, layering scents through skincare actually lasts. The bonus? Your skin gets the love, moisture, and glow it craves. Cosmopolitan highlights that moisturizing properly allows scents to stick better to skin, and combining scented body care products creates a nuanced scent that lasts much longer.
Step One: Start with a Sugar Scrub Gel
Your shower is your scent lab, boo. Start with one of our hydrating Sugar Scrub Gels, which exfoliate while leaving a gentle aroma that lingers post-rinse.
Choose your base scent:
Sweet & fruity? Go for something berry-based.
Fresh & clean? Citrus is your bestie.
Warm & cozy? Try vanilla, coffee, or honey notes.
Pro tip: This isn’t just about smell—it’s also about smoothing your skin for better scent hold.
Step Two: Seal it with a Creamy Shealoe Butter
Here’s where the layering magic really happens. After you towel off, slather on one of our luscious, whipped Creamy Shealoe Butters. These babies are thick, creamy, and scented to perfection.
Want to intensify your base scent? Match it. Want to create something brand new? Mix it.
Example combos:
Tropical Citrus Scrub + Lavender Vanilla Shealoe Butter = Warm Lemon Cake Mood
Pomegranate Cherry Scrub + Cucumber Melon Shealoe Butter = Sweet & Soothing Vibes
✨ Pro tip: Our shealoe butters not only moisturize—they hold scent better than perfume, especially when applied right after bathing.
Try this Signature Blend
Here’s a layering recipe for full “main character energy”:
Scrub: Coconut Cream Sugar Scrub Gel
Butter: Pink Sugar Shealoe Butter
Result: You smell like a sweet snack with a cozy side of luxury
Your scent will blend with your skin’s natural chemistry, so even if your bestie copies your routine, you’ll still smell like you—just glowier.
Why This Works (And Smells Amazing)
✨ Longer-Lasting Scent – Because scent sticks better to hydrated, exfoliated skin.
✨ Customized Vibes – Mix and match based on your mood, the season, or your alter ego.
✨ Multi-Tasking Queen Energy – You’re moisturizing, exfoliating, and perfuming—all at once.
Bonus: Your Skin Will Thank You
Not only will you smell divine—you’ll be buttery soft, glowing, and impossible to ignore. The compliments? Just tell them it’s “a little something I whipped up.” Vogue notes scented body lotions and creams enhance or even replace perfumes, offering greater intensity and longevity when layered thoughtfully.
