Your Summer Scent Ritual: How to Layer Laura Mercier Ambre Vanille for All Day Allure

If summer had a signature scent, it would be Laura Mercier Ambre Vanille—warm, cozy, fresh, and effortlessly elegant. The secret to smelling amazing all season isn’t just spritzing perfume—it’s layering your fragrance from the bath up so it lasts all day (and night).

The Laura Mercier Ambre Vanille Collection blends Amber’s soft sensuality with Vanilla’s sweet warmth, wrapped in notes of Tangerine, Tiger Orchid, Almond, Brown Sugar, Coconut, and Sandalwood. Think dessert meets golden hour on the beach—a scent that’s perfect for summer days, steamy nights, and everything in between.

Here’s your step-by-step Ambre Vanille scent-layering routine for a fragrance trail that lingers beautifully from sunrise to sunset.


1. Start in the Bath: The Luxe Foam Moment

Indulge in the Laura Mercier Ambre Vanille Honey Bath—your ultimate self-care ritual. Drizzle under warm water with the honey dipper and watch as decadent, foaming bubbles fill your tub. Formulated with Sea Water, Red Algae, and Borage Seed Oil, it cleanses, soothes, and hydrates, leaving skin silky and subtly scented with Ambre Vanille.
