how much cologne to apply, and how and where to apply it?

Question

what i do not is spray 1 spray on my wrist, rub it over to my other wrist, then rub my wrists on my neck. Is this a good way of doing it? Am I using enough? I dont want the smell to be overbearing! Please help! thanks!

remove the first "not" in the description :)

Answer 1

The best places to apply perfume or cologne are heat spots. I spray one of my wrists once and rub my wrists together and then spray my neck once and that's it. Less is more. An overbearingly nice smell seems un-natural...a subtle one is intriguing : )

Most importatly is to not over use any cologne. Nothing worse that tasting someones cologne!

The best method I have found is to do one spray on your bare chest right around the sternum (chest plate) and one on your bare back between the shoulders. This will work slowly through your clothes and give off a nice mellow scent and it has time to work with your chemistry to make the smell uniquely yours. You can actually go two sprays each and the slow dissipation will not be overbearing. Just spread it over a larger area.

You can add in a spritz on one wrist and then rub both together and then rub on the neck. Just go light there because it's exposed skin and the scent will evaporate faster and with more potency.

If you want to avoid the wrists and neck, (remember kissing a womans neck and tasting perfume? YUK!) what you can do alternately is to spray up into the air and walk into it so it lands on the top of your head.

Depending on what type of cologne your using and how strong it is, the average spray on a man would be twice to the best and once to the back just a few centimeters under the back neck.

If you wish to rub on your wrists then amke sure you do not spray too much and rub untill moisture is gone. Don't spray on your neck because you don't need the scent to be browing off in open places since theirs nothing guarding your neck. Cologne should be used where clothing is worn, so the smell is not too strong. Thats why when spraying on your wrists i reccomend not to spray soo much.

Answer 4

I wear perfume, but it's still the same. What I do is spray my wrist like you and do all that, and then I spray one more spray on my clothes. You're probaly using enough but one more spray definately won't hurt, and it doesn't smell like to much. As long as you have cologne that people like the smell of, you'll probably get told you smell good, lol. HOpe that helps!!!!

Answer 5

I think that's fine. Just spray a little on your wrists and as its drying rub your wrists on your neck. What you're doing is just enough. Hope this helps!

Answer 6

You can always spray it in front of you and walk right in it, if not spray a decent amount of cologne on you that doesn`t make the people in the room suffocate. A good time to wear it would be at parties, job interviews, or whenever you smell bad.

Answer 8

Spray one wrist and rub it on the other and then one spray on the neck/chest area.... That should be perfect.

Answer 9

Spray just above your neck line about 6 inches away and walk into it. This should be enough and not to much.

Answer 10

It depends on how strong the cologne is.
I do 3 sprays on my front neck.
