How do you apply the perfect amount of cologne?
How to Apply Cologne
- Apply cologne after you get out of the shower to clean, dry skin.
- Don’t spray the cologne into the air and walk through it.
- Target pulse points, such as your inner wrists and neck.
- Hold the bottle 3-6 inches away from your skin when spraying.
- Don’t use too much (2-4 squirts are ideal).
How far should Cologne be placed?
3-6 inches
Generally a distance of 3-6 inches is recommended. Make sure the bottle has worked as intended and properly dispersed the cologne into the air. If it’s simply squirting the fragrance onto your skin like a cheap water gun, you need to find a new nozzle.
Where are the pulse points for Cologne?
A pulse point is an area on your body where your heart pulse can be felt. These are the best spots to apply scent, due to the warmth of your blood. The points are located behind your ear, at the bottom of your throat, on your wrist, inside your elbow, and behind your knee.
Should you reapply cologne?
If it is a really weak one, you can re-apply in about 4 hours. Spray in a different section of the body when reapplying. In total, you will have applied your fragrance 3 to 4 times in one day but not 4 times in one application. The latter will announce you instead of you (and your scent) being discovered.
Should you spray cologne on your clothes or skin?
Fragrance is tricky. The oils are designed to be absorbed and melded with your skin’s natural oils, creating your own unique scent. That can’t happen when you apply it to your clothing, so never apply fragrance to anything but your skin. That means you shouldn’t spray it in a cloud and walk through it, either.
Can you spray cologne on your armpits?
Armpits. Spraying perfume onto your armpits poses another potential cause of irritation. The interaction between your perfume and your armpits’ sweat glands could result in itching and burning.
How do you dab cologne?
If your bottle doesn’t have a spray nozzle, use the dabbing method. Cover the open bottle with your finger, tip the bottle, then right the bottle and put it down. Dab the liquid on your finger in the area where you wish to apply the cologne. One small dab is sufficient; don’t double-dab.
How do I apply perfume so it’s not too strong?
Here are some tips:
- Wear less: Most of us learned that the correct way to wear perfume was to spray all our pulse points – both wrists, the back of the ears, and perhaps even the collar bone.
- Wear it in odd places: Try one spray of scent on the small of your back (if you can reach!) or behind your knees.
Does shaking cologne ruin it?
The friction from rubbing creates heat that will break up the molecules of the perfume, thus evaporating the scent. Never shake your perfume—this will incorporate air into the bottle and accelerate the breakdown of the scent.
