What is the proper way to wear cologne / perfume?

I say keep it away from your clothes altogether. It just gets stale and smells too much like the alcohol in it. Apply it to your neck and chest area after your shower and before you get dressed. And turn the fan on in the bathroom when you do it, out of respect for your girlfriend/wife. She loves your cologne on you, not in the air. I also agree that 3 sprays is too many. I'd say one or two at the most. Apply the cologne long before you go into public, especially tight places like buses or the subway. The strong scent of too many perfumes and colognes is just too much to handle. And please, don't trust the smell of the cologne fresh out of the bottle. Apply some on your skin and leave it there for at least 20 minutes and ask at least one other person what they think before making a purchase.What is the proper way to wear cologne / perfume?
Well, for starters, in moderation.


There's no ';proper'; way to do it, but just one or two spritzes will do. No more!


Try spritzing the air in front of you and then walking through the cloud of perfume. That way you get covered, but lightly.What is the proper way to wear cologne / perfume?
Directly on the neck. The chemicals work with the skin and sometimes smell differently on different people.
