How do yall spray cologne on you? Where and how many sprays?

Feel I should be getting more compliments as I only wear Creed and TF. I probably aint spraying the proper areas or they disappear quick on me or not enough

Spray both wrists and rub the neck

If you buy right and don't skimp, less is more

I do one on each side of the neck and my right wrist (the hand that moves more)

also OP just rub it in just let it dry.

can’t I just spray the neck separately? I feel me doing what you said takes away from the wrists.

plus, don’t you do the chest ? And over the clothes at the end?

which version of cologne do you have? Eau de toilette or eau de parfum?

In case you didn't know, the eau de parfum is the better option as it has a more intense scent and last much longer.

Its more expensive but the bottle ends up lasting longer on the account of the fact that you can use less of it.

Out here in my damn drawls

If you spray the neck and wrists, just rub the excess over your chest

Personally, I never spray it on my clothes but some do

The wrists, neckline and back of the neck carries the fragrance for me

Gotta go with the oils. They last damn near all day.

Cologne reacts differently to different people, which is why people who know about fragrance take some kinda test to see which ones are the best for them in particular. I don’t know if it’s the same for oils but the oil has been a muthafukka for me. I’ve always been into colognes.

This!!!
Cologne comes in different 'potencies'
Parfum: Has the highest fragrance concentration, 20-25%. More expensive, but it last longer. Usually lasts 8-12 hours.
Eau De Parfum: Probably the most common. The strength is slightly lower than Parfum but its a little cheaper.15-20% Concentration. Usually lasts 6-8 hours.
Eau De Toilette: Less expensive, less longevity, lower concentration, 5-15%. Might last 4-5 hours.
Eau De Cologne: Very popular with low concentrations. Mostly alcohol with 3-5% concentration. Usually lasts 2-3 hours.

Even though you are wearing TF and Creed, you might be wearing the Eau De Toilette or Eau De Cologne types which won't last as long and don't have the same concentrations.
I had no idea about this until maybe 5 or 6 years ago and it makes a huge difference in how much you pay.

I prefer oils over cologne as well - just because of cost & convenience.

It’s only because they’re exponentially cheaper and not marked up 1000%. The cologne market is legit a racket it’s overpriced as fukk

But cologne itself (especially a good one) just hits different. Oils are always diluted. There’s something about using alcohol as a mechanism that concentrates the scent exponentially.

Oils are good for having a smell for yourself without it being too strong. But a good cologne will always stand out to others.
