How much perfume/cologne do you need to use??

Question

How much is enough without being too much?

Answer 1

I usually do 2-3 spritzes of mine, but I've heard there is an easy way to coat yourself with just the right amount.

Spray a few times into the air in front of you and then walk through it.  That way, it has a chance to mix with the air so it won't be concentrated on only a few parts of your body.

Answer 2

don't wear too much. only a little because  i've done a lot and it's too strong and then i can't get it off lol.

Answer 3

for the strong ones, spray once on your neck, then spread it around with your hand.

for the weak ones, sray twice or three times (depending on how weak it is) once on your wrist and once on your neck, or twice on your neck

for the normal ones just spray and go... but if you want it to last longer spray twice and fan it off a bit so its not too strong in the beggining.

Answer 4

It depends on the perfume/cologne.  Some are strong scented some are lightly scented.

Answer 5

Ah, the question of balance. Men have the same ordeal as well.

It all comes down to your skin chemistry and how strong the cologne is. If sillage (the projected amount) is monstrous, meaning that it can be smelled very clearly from a distance, then I would say that one spray to the base of the neck, near where collarbones would meet, should suffice. You could dab some behind the ears as well, also behind the knees as well - but not much! these locations mess with pheremones and other natural chemicals produced by the body, but leave a nice-smelling trail =).

For lighter scents, one or two sprays to the neck, maybe a full spray on the wrists, and maybe abdomen or the inner sides of your arm. You'll have to experiment with each scent, especially the lighter ones to get the perfect amount produced.

Generally, a rule of perfume and cologne is to NEVER rub or pat down cologne, as this theoretically "crushes" the scent and could potentially change the way it smells. This may sound absurd but it's widely accepted in the perfume world haha =). Good luck!
