One thing I would like to add, is nose blindness, some notes like saffron and ambroxan can trigger my sniffer to shut off, this is why I do shoulder corners, and or behind neck, chest is a not a good idea in those circumstances
Would consider myself experienced with wearing fragrances, but watched the whole video anyway to support the channel 💻 I normally live in the same range of sprays as you described, but I personally don't spray my clothes. I spray on the back and sides of my neck (never on the front of my neck or upper chest, makes me go noseblind far faster in my experience), occasionally my arms if I'm wearing short sleeves. Side note: I think it would be cool if you spoke more about how many sprays you wore of each scent in your weekly wears videos. Ik it can be hard to remember, but I find that most fragcomm TH-camrs either don't talk about how much they spray or you just hear the illogical "spray everything 30 times, bro!" BS that makes absolutely no sense
Great video. When I first started collectingand wearing fragrances, a jeremy fragrance video on this subject taught me how to wear cologne. Basically everything you said in this video. Usually 5 sprays. One behind each ear,back of the neck, and collar points. Freshies, more. Beast mode, usually 3 sprays max
Good video! Yes I'm sure it's going to help some people.the inside of your forearm is good place,at least when you wash your hands it's not subject to come off so fast as opposed to your lower hand area. Situation is crucial your in going to be in dictates how many sprays ad you mentioned.thanks
Definitely Ashley is where I heard the behind the knees first! Lots of good info here. Before it was a hobby, I'd be so concerned if I did 2 sprays of anything that I'd be choking people out. Lol... I think 3-4 as a baseline that gets adjusted up or down depending on the fragrance and environment is always a good place to start. I am a fan of spraying my shirt, or even spraying my chest/stomach under my shirt so it gets on skin and on cloth. It does add some longevity at the expense of volume, which I'm often keen to keep down at work. I've also been experimenting with forearm spraying. You get some good whiffs that way, just gotta spray in an area that doesn't touch stuff when driving or with closed arms.
Great video as usual. I always spray fragrance on my bare chest, inside arms and on my neck. Always works and I always get compliments. I'm in retail management and I am on my feet a lot, so I leave a nice trail
For me it completely depends on the fragrance and how I’ve learned it performs on my skin. For example, YSL L’Homme performs just fine. 7-10 times is NOT too much for an EDT of this style. Now, Sauvage or Eros EDT, whole different story. Essentially, learn your frags and how they behave on your skin. You also need to account for your outfit as well as the environment. I still have quite a few I need to truly learn on my skin, but that’s only bc I’m finally widdling down to the ones I really keep going back to consistently, so I’m not trying out such a variety anymore. I personally like spraying my collarbone, like literally between my neck and shoulder. I guess for me that area warms up, but maybe not like a wrist does, being a pulse pint. I always hit my chest and upper abs, and then my forearms. Yes neck sometimes if I’m going out, but not always. I like to get whiffs of it without it dying down on me, and at least for me, these areas do the trick, and now that Gerard has mentioned that Ashley has stated not the wrists bc it’s a pulse point that heats up often, so it fades, I can see why this seems to work well for me. Awesome that this got validated in a sense.
This is fantasic info. Thanks for sharing your insights! I agree that understanding how fragrances perform on your skin and experimenting with different application spots is key. Happy to hear you’re narrowing down your collection to the ones you love!
I work at FedEx Express, so I’m outside in the heat all day. I moisturize my neck and apply 16 to 20 sprays because it leaves my skin quick, due to sweating. But it gets me compliments
Good information, George. I tend to go 3 to 5 sprays but as you suggested, I need to go heavier with lighter fragrances the only other spot I sometimes hit the back of my neck I haven’t tried shoulders Thanks for the great video.
In all seriousness, I have corrected so many friends, firmly but politely, on not rubbing fragrance into their wrists. Sometimes firmer or more politely than other times. Nothing us upsetting the same way as giving a friend a nice fragrance as a birthday gift or something and then seeing them rub it into their wrist. Once a friend sent me a picture of a shower caddy they had with a spot to put their new bottle six inches from the shower head and I almost had a stroke.
20 sprays of Interlude Black Iris…. Simple rule of thumb 😆 Kidding. Just 2 is enough. Some freshness, 8-10 as you say, plus a few on clothes My Bentley for men Intense is reformulated. Only the opening is strong, then comes to skin scent in your 3. So 6 sprays plus a few on clothes. Profumum Roma fragrances, because is high concentration, rubbing lightly is recommended by the house. Each fragrance is different. Cheers
If you havent tried it Sculpture parfum (blue bottle) is finally back in stock at a few places. Would be curious for your opinion. My favorite spring/summer/fall scent.
I get stupid with it lol/ put moisturizer on /spray back of the neck behind the ears (really close let it drip) do this after a shower air out a little bit before getting ready before going out...
All you need to do is watch Russian Adams video on ( How to apply perfume) and that’s that , done and done . The most masterful and tremendously magnificent application of fragrance hands down . It’s like a 600$ application lol absolutely hilarious yet inspirational to someday wear 4-600$ of fragrance leisurely.
I spray a lot every time. Even with strong fragrances because I think I have a skin that sucks all the fragrances up. For example, Sedley by PDM doesn't perform well on me, and I do 20 plus sprays with that one. I never heard of spraying your chest and stomach. I will try it. 😅😅
Erm sorry, but that advice about not rubbing your wrists is just reiterating a myth. Even if people like Ashley or Roja tell us otherwise, there is no harm (but also little benefit) in rubbing or dabbing the wet areas together - obviously not for minutes or hours, but you will create very little additional heat or evaporation from briefly rubbing your wrists . You also cannot damage any components of the fragrance through rubbing. Using lab methods and devices, you can indeed mechanically shear linear or multimeric macromolecules that are about 1,000 times larger than the aromachemicals in fine fragrance - and you have to work really hard to do that consistently. However there is no way you could mechanically or thermally break organic molecules with your bare hands that have a molecular weight of < 250 and chemical properties that make them evaporate at ambient temperature. Those chemical bonds are tough and much stronger than any force you could apply. They even withstand the great shearing forces that occur when the perfume is ejected and dispersed at high pressure through the nozzle of the atomiser. Finally, there is no evidence to suggest that pulse points are warmer than other areas of our skin. Regional differences in surface temperature are not great anyway, but if you desperately want maximum evaporation (do you?), spray on your chest or other areas that are close to your body's core. Just think about where a doctor would take your temperature - certainly not at your wrists or the back of your knees. (Not suggesting that you spray perfume in your mouth or armpits or... elsewhere 😶 .) Just apply the sprays anywhere you want on your skin or clothes, ideally in places where the scent will not get worn off or washed away during the day.
Thanks for the clearly well educated comment! However...and you knew that was coming. While rubbing your wrists together after applying fragrance won't break the chemical bonds, it can cause the top notes to evaporate more quickly, potentially altering the initial scent. Letting the fragrance dry naturally helps preserve the intended fragrance profile. Just try it and see.
@@gerardgeorge Thanks Gerard. I have tested this many times with my own compositions and my subjective conclusion differs. Real experiments with the human sense of smell are notoriously difficult to perform, however. There is a lot of variability and observer bias involved that cannot be controlled for easily. See the somewhat self-ironic subjective test done here for instance: th-cam.com/video/C5PUVE69Yvk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=KqLu_ojhnIDfJERK. Exploring this "scientifically" could be a fun project for a group of high school students to design...

It’s a great approach at least until you can figure out your own routine.

I do back of neck, both side of neck. Double chesty. Sometimes on shirt or arms on top if it’s not a loud fragrance
Nicely done!

Yes being out in the conditions and sweating can really shorten the life of a scent. Great point.

Can you make a video on fragrance mistakes to avoid
Yes!
