Should you rub fragrance? Let me know in the comments below! 👇🤔
We should not rub it I think so
You are not breaking molecular bonds by rubbing. One of the ways you can actually break the molecular bonds is by hydrolyzing some of the bonds that are already bonded. So in other words, you have to make H2O break the bond between a compound (2 or more molecules of different elements), but this only works with some compounds. Also, you can perform a dehydration reaction (removal of all water molecules) with the cologne. However... that is nearly impossible to do unless you can an expensive machine that can perform such action in a molecular level.
Bottom line: You are not destroying the molecular bonds when rubbing the fragrance together. But rather, due to the friction that causes heat, you are altering the scent when the fragrance is barley being touched by oxygen and settling in your skin. Hope this helps :)
Colognes are very expensive (good ones online/up market retail stores). I use a combination of cologne ,body spray (LNYX), under arm spray NIVA ,after shave cream NIVA. It produces a nice mixture smell of combined fragrances.
Kkkkkkkkkk
Thank you, thank you, thank you. When my friends first found out I regularly shower twice a day. The response is almost always, "Really?". I'm glad other people do it.
I wear fox urine. It always makes an impression and attracts coyotes too.
Should look to attracting cougars bro
Not many fragrances can do that either. Think your on to something there 😂🤣

There is literally no way to know that your cologne will trigger a woman to think about her ex.
True, but one must always exercise common sense when it comes to common scents.

@@shinobi-no-bueno BARS! WOW! 🤯🤯🤯
One of my exes wore a very common cologne and my latest ex wore it in the beginning. I eventually got over it. I think it’s not that serious unless the ex was abusive and she has a lot of bad memories with that person. Even then, there’s no way to really avoid it so I think we just have to accept that. Just do you.
We should invest in perfume: it just makes Scents.

Yeah, my 2 scents!
I would but I'm broke, u got $150 u cologne me
@@johnsaintilma8422 not bad😂
I disagree with the rubbing “mistake” as well - it won’t break molecular bonds! The friction heat will activate it a bit quicker, which may activate some of the later notes, but also make it last a little shorter on your body, so use the trick wisely!
Agree. Rubbing increase evaporation which accelerates projection. It also spreads out to a larger skin surface area which can affects the longevity of the fragrance versus spraying or dabbling on the skin which is more "concentrated".
Some perfumers claimed that rubbing perfume on the skin will damaged the scent as the molecules got "broken" down. Wao! Not sure whether these perfumers understand how chemistry works on molecular structures work!!!
@@williamtan9437 or maybe it's just us who didn't formulate their perfumes and assumed that we know everything and what will happen as oppose to they themselves who made it.
It won’t break the bonds because of friction, it creates a chemical bond because of your bodies natural acidity though

Very interesting content. I will put this into practice with my $19.99 cologne collection from Ross.

That company will fail if they hire like that. They will miss much talent!

"discovered, not announced" couldn't agree more with this statement.
That made laugh and visualize being in a ball in a castle and instead of being "announced" by your name and place, the announcer Announces you by the cologne you chose to wear and hints that he could smell you a mile/Km away! 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤣🤣🤣
I’m a taxi driver and sometimes in the morning I pick up people heading to the airport and their scent is very strong. I can’t help but wonder how their scent is welcomed on a closed space like a plane.
My mother always told me avoid wearing in closed places like that as it is rude. But, she also has a very strong nose and is old school.
it's not, we hate those people
ok, hate is a strong word. it is rather inconsiderate and aggravating though. always makes my nose itch and the stronger ones make it run
I think the olfactory is the problem sometime you put the strong fragrance & that person probably had a lite olfate while the other had a strong one some are even with the stuffy nose ect
Great video, Antonio!
Thanks for checking it out Steven. 😁
So @redolessence, do you rub or no?
Great Comment 👌

I love this video. I learned how to wear perfume from my dad and it's nice to know the reason behind some of the things he said like the hot spots and keeping perfume in their boxes. He always told me if you're ever going somewhere and expect to be hugging someone spray some perfume behind your ears. They'll smell it when they hug you even if you have a weak perfume. Always have always works.
One thing of note here: If you expect to get 'physical' with your partner you may want to limit spraying to places not commonly licked or nibbled on by your partner... ;)
This is one of the most detailed "How To" fragrance videos I've ever wanted. Fantastic job!
I've seen thousands of fragrance videos, and dozens of how-to apply fragrances videos. But tbh, this is the most accurate one so far.
Fragrance gurus have got to be the most useful, most informative people on planet earth. I've learnt more about smelling good from this guy and Jimmy Fragrance than from any source I can possibly think of. People often don't realise the complex nature of fragrances and smells. Truly an eye opener!
My cousin once told me. "If you wanna get women to notice you without saying a word to them,,, get your cologne game together!
He is absolutely right. Works ALL THE TIME
So which one do you wear?
@@nv-king invictus and bleu de chanel are both very good

Just love this video. Been always meaning to find my own personal scent & where to apply 'em. Here in Brazil it's quite hot, so finding the right fragrance is a struggle, especially to keep it on your body throughout the day. Thanks a lot for the hints.
Just woke up and clicked immediately and just loaded up recently on my favorite cologne and was wondering where else can I apply ! Great content as always!
well if she's judging you based on your cologne that reminds her her ex then she's not a good employer in the first place. Very unprofessional judgement.
This kind of thing happens! He was being real. Wearing cologne at all on an interview could cost you the job. The employer will judge you, albeit subconsciously, not doubt its will play into the decision. Better to be aware than ignorant of reality.
Not referring to the fact of wearing cologne or not. But wearing a cologne that will remind of her ex and therefore lose the job because of that? That's a bit paranoid imo.
She's definitely prejudiced if she thinks that you'll bring all the negative feelings her ex brought on her relationship. No need to discriminate a beautiful cologne like that.
@@TheSenseiKai Dude. She's making that decision subconsciously. She is not gonna tell you that you didn't made it because of your perfume. She's gonna find fault or try to give you harder questions. It's human psyche, we side with what we like. It's a great tip.
@@TheSenseiKai never over estimate the human-being
@@opensesame6816 Doesn't cancel my statement. Very unprofessional judgement. I interact a lot with CEOs . It's probably an attitude a grocery store manager would have. I am a CEO (to be) and I know for sure that I won't let emotion of my personal life take over a serious judgement that will affect my business. It's simply unprofessional .
Take Bleu de Chanel for example. It's a beautiful perfume and many people will agree to this. A lot of people wear it as well. One negative individual doesn't cancel the fact that the interviewee who wears a beautiful perfume that *subconsciously* hints that he takes care of himself (by paying attention to detail. ) isn't the best suit for the job.
My point is , if you really go for a serious interviewer don't fret on your cologne and what impact it had on her/his personal life. You can't even know what her/his personal life consists of. If your fragrance compliments you and your skin then that's all you really need. The rest is paranoia.
Self awareness!! Thank you for pointing that out. Some guy live for projection only. You brought up so many excellent points.
This was a very informative video Antonio, good stuff. One advice I've heard from a dermatologist on TV is DO NOT spray cologne before/while at the beach. Those chemicals plus the hot sun, not a great combo for some of us.
Interviewee-"Anything you would like to ask?"
me- "yeah which cologne did your ex-boyfriend wear?"
I put on 3 sprays regardless of which one I am wearing. 1 spray behind each ear and 1 behind the head on my neck. Saw that on Jeremy Fragrances channel and it has worked well for me.
Concerning rubbing a fragrance I've made the following discovery by trying it out a good dozen of times on one wrist while not rubbing it in on the other wrist.
Rubbed-in fragrance may alter its smell due to more of your own chemistry getting in contact with it, but it's very mild. Usually it kinda speeds up the process of getting into the middle body of the fragrance, yet in terms of altering it there's not much done, except for this speedup. I've tried this with different fragrances of different potencies (and yes, it was a pain to wait until my Versace Eros finally stopped giving off a smell so I could repeat the test) but all in all it didn't do any harm to the fragrance itself. When being a little more sweaty, it increased the effect of getting altered a little faster, but that was it. Hope this helps, I suggest trying it on your own. Personally, I like to wear only very little fragrance, in order not to be a commanding smell and letting other, ambient smells come through still, so take that into consideration. I'm usually at only a two-count on atomizer presses.
From this video I learned that I love your fragrance collection, jackets in your wardrobe look so cool, and with your energy, enthusiasm and the way you speak you can sell anything to anyone 🍾👌
Quality video! Love the different angles and editing. Jeremy Fragrance has a lot to learn 😁😁
When it comes to rubbing the fragrance on the wrists, I have experienced it destroying the top notes, but the middle and base are still there. *Tested with Versace Eros, Dylan Blue, and Bleu de Chanel
Thanks, Antonio. I would've overlooked stuff like this a couple of years ago but thanks to your videos I'm wise to this kind of stuff now.👍
Super!
I love this- I want to be identified by my smell when I come to work. As much as possible, I don't want somebody to know what perfume I am wearing.
Man you really got some great info. You’re literally a wizard when it comes to this stuff. Thanks man.
Love this video. I buy fragrances, and can't project them enough to enjoy them how I want. I will be trying all these great tips. Well needed video.
This video was one of the most informative videos about wearing cologne you cover all the bases... Great job
A course on this for the newbies would be GREAT!
So much info crammed into this video, thank you :)
This was great, man. I really learned a lot. Thanks for the kesson.
This cologne collection is just beautiful 😻
I’m happy to realize that two of the examples you were holding in your hands during your talk are the only two that I own. Maybe for once I got something right.
I love how you pronounce french words without even trying to say it with the French accent like many youtube fragrance Chanel
Thank You Sir for the great information!!! I'm a huge lover of colognes and I definitely learned some helpful info from your video!!!

This dude has an engaging and comforting teacher energy. 10/10
Thanks! I’ve been rocking the spray cloud method for 7+ years. This video was long overdue for me.
Good stuff. I found out that many stores will give you small samplers to bring home for testing. This gives me time to wear the cologne for a day and get a true idea of how it performs, reactions from others, and my own reaction to it.
Good example!
Another great fragrance video! I started my fragrance collection this past Christmas season and your videos were the main reason. Age 34...is never too late to start lol
Too late? Wtf, 30s is just the beginning...
I’m 38 😅… colongneeeee ftw.. also sneaker collection…..
@@Player-ix7rx got into cologne last week 💀😂 and I’m 16 . I’m only getting 30-40 cologne tho. I don’t to much money for the other good cologne
Very good advice. I actually learned alot. Thanks a ton
My wife bought me many samples this Christmas to test each as you suggested So far so good. You are right. They smell different as the day wears on
Some "new to me " info.
Thank you.
The parts on the body you mentioned is where I spray, I only own 6 and depending on what season it is I started spraying lighter scents and mostly after I get out the shower
Great information and thanks for posting it. I found I'm about 50% correct in how I apply cologne. This video helped me get it right.
great video and NOW I know how important this is very insightful!
I blind bought Burberry Touch. Hated it on opening, but on dry down, I love the mid and base notes and the performance is outstanding. It's now my signature.
Exact same thing happened to me with sauvage
It's one of my favorites
One easy rule of thumb I found works really well as to WHERE to spray is: wherever you can feel a pulse.
People with twitching in their eyelids: sweating profusely
On my coke
Hot spots
Very interesting. Some great tips here. Thank you.
Thank you this is very needy for me☺
Armani Acqua di Gio has been my absolute favorite and have worn it for more than 20 years! Everyone loves it and always asked what it is.
One of my ex’s loses inhibitions with it 😂😂😂
i love that fragrance as it's a very summery fragrance
Two things I definitely agree with you here. 1.) There are some scents that I KNOW are not appreciated by 95% who smell them, so I only wear them at home, much like one might light a candle or burn incense just because they like the smell. And 2) while I was once told by a guy at a fragrance shop to 'spray, delay and walk away' scents are meant to be sprayed directly on the skin where the skin is warmer. Great video.
It helps if you simply don't care. I wear my scents, and I have about 50, 35 or so that I love. I wear them first and foremost for myself, because I love the performance and scent. If someone does like it, tough shit, whip my ass and make me stop wearing it. Otherwise step aside Hater.
I also have a chemistry background and agree with you regarding rubbing a fragrance somewhat. No damage, just spreading it.
One of the best vídeo about fragrances.
Hey Antonio, I love your channel and it's helped me a lot over the years. I was just thinking that while your audio quality is great, you might really be able to bring out the expressions on your face and the details of the products that you talk about if you had slightly less flat lighting which kind of looks very plain. Offered humbly, thank you for all you've done for us.
This was a wealth of information I've been in the industry for over 30 yrs this will definitely help the new generation in understanding how to utilize their fragrances ...love the video thank you for sharing 🤓👍
I cant believe Im watching this, thanks! i learned a lot!
I was just thinking about this. Thanks algorithm!
Bro I just wanted a 20 second video on where to apply cheap men’s cologne.
You unintentionally just became a pro haha
😂
The trash. If its cheap, don't wear it. If you wear cheap, you become cheap. Spend a little on your cologne. Its worth it.
@@codykirchner9606 there are a few cheap brands that are actually really good too though. Nautica blue and Azzaro chrome sport are 2 cheapest that smell good and get compliments while spending less than 20 bucks for a 3.4oz
@@swappedoutZ71 agreed. Usher made a great scent and a lot of them were high end and just discontinued. Doesn’t mean you’re cheap if you buy older, discontinued scents.
I often smell the cologne projecting from pilots as far as several meters away. They get enclosed in their own space away from the passengers though, and airliner cockpits often smell very mechanical so I think it's good on them to have a scent that masks the airplane smell. Long-haul flights also mean not being able to shower for over 18 hours so having the scent strong at first is good, so it can wear off over time and be present but minimal by the time they emerge from the cockpit to bid the passengers farewell. For myself, I am an aircraft fueler, working in enclosed spaces with the smell of jet fuel permeating everything. I am often the recipient of remarks about my jet fuel smell in the cockpit while I am getting the pilot's signature on the sales receipt. So, I have just placed an order for Jean Paul Gaultier "Aviator", an Eau-De-Toilette which I hope will fit in with the aromas around the airport without overpowering it for those who enjoy the smell of an airport/airplane. Since my jet fuel smell is particularly strong, I think I may need to be one of those who uses double the recommended dose.
Wow!!! … I learned a lot in 5 minutes from this video than others. Awesome video!!! .. I forwarded this video to at least 10 of my friends!!!
The best opening for a video ever !!!!
I’ve been wearing Polo Blue since 2002. Awesome fragrance!
I have Chrome Azzaro and Estee Lauder Pleasure.
He’s definitely right about testing before you buy. Issey Miyake L’eau D’Issey is one of those frags that has a beautiful opening. I sprayed a sample bit on me and bought it on the spot. When I got home, the drydown musk note was absolutely sickeningly unbearable on my skin.
Lesson learned.
For me, it's exactly the opposite with this fragrance. I find the opening to be almost unbearable, but I love the drydown
Antonio, I also have a background in chemistry. In fact, it was one of my degrees.... I loved organic chemistry with a passion.
I must agree with you, good sir. The minimal heat caused by any friction would only cause fragrant skin to scrape off. It's most definitely not be even near significant enough to make a difference in breakdown of molecules. Well, unless you're Superman.
Thanks for the consult.
I do apply to my undershirt; at the shoulders and across the belly.
Hi Antonio, "Navy" here!, medically-speaking, I recommend not to "rub fragrances in". The problem being the danger of "sensitizing" the skin lower layers (dermis) to some of the constituents of the perfume, EDT, EDC... even though one may not be allergic to the product. There is also the danger of "rubbing in" outside contaminants in some of the more delicate skin areas leading to sensitization, rashes, reactions, etc... Great videos as usual, Ciao, L
Raf here
This is an area I have no knowledge on and I don't wear them normally. Great breakdown on cologne. Thank you for this!
this video is awesome. super informative and articulate
I like the short video. Quick, and to the point. Learned a lot.
Didn't know you had a degree in chemistry. Very nice, Antonio
I think the point of the atomizer on fragrance bottles is to separate the different notes to make them more distinctive. If you rub your wrists together then you might not be destroying the molecules but you would meld the more delicate scents with the stronger ones.
That's rubbish. It's all dissolved in the bottle and it all gets sprayed in equal parts everywhere through the atomizer.
Great cologne info ! Thanks.👊👍👍
Nice one; very helpful. Thanks!
Great video. I agree with your rubbing fragrance assessment. I see it as add surface area. The only potential down side being diluting the concentration which depending on your intent could make the sent less noticeable.
I have worked as a seller of shaving water and perfumes and here are tips on how to test whether the shaving water suits you or not. When you are going to test a new perfume, spray a little on the wrist (blood vein goes there) and give off heat to the perfume, let it sit for about 1 hour before you smell and see how the perfume reacts with your body's odor. This with finding new shaving water can take time, as you have to proceed in the way I just described. The difference between these shaving waters is as follows
EdP = Eay de Parfym perfume oil strength of 10-30% and gives off odor for about 5 hours.
EdT Eau de Toilette perfume oil strength 5-20% and emits odor for about 3 hours.
EdC Eau de Colonge perfume strength of about 2-5% emits odor for about 1.5 hours.
The only places you should spray the perfume are behind the ear (Here goes the main artery of the rush of the blood gives off heat) therefore you should just put the perfume here.and MAX 2 pressure. When you spray behind the ear, the scent emits well.
Spraying on perfume elsewhere on the body is just a waste, as no stronger blood vessels go there and provide heat. The perfume will just dry in and the smell disappears.
A man should NEVER spray his wrists as ahn should wear perfume. Only women should do this, as you as a man might have to kiss the woman's hand and then you can smell her perfume.
Thanks man, I appreciate the input !
Thank you so much, so helpful 🙏🏽
Thank you Antonio another great informative video.
I was expecting boomer memes, but i really like the gifs/memes you've been using lately
Same rule applies with deodorant some scents begin to smell rancid after hours of usage I think I narrowed it down to one deodorant scent that works best for me
I'm 14 and didn't know any of this we need more TH-cam channels like this for men thank you
Thank you for the info my friend!
I see Armaf club de nuit intense man in the background beside Creed Aventus. 😍
Duke Cannon makes some legit solid cologne. My favorite that my wife loves is their Buffalo Trace Bourbon scent.
Cool!
Thank you for another useful video, great tips on scents, so many people are getting this wrong
Very informative,thanks truly appreciate !!!
Spot on as usual Antonio.
1. I agree with what you said about rubbing. It won't damage molecules. It may mix more with skin oils, if that isba factor.
2. Agreed with protecting fragrances from light, due to photosensitivity. This happens with beer.
3. Could you tell us what brand of jacket you have on? The blue is terrific.
Nice video Antonio... It sums up the basics, the thing with rubbing the wrists it's not much about breaking the molecules of the fragrance, the point is that you should let the fragrance develop from top to bottom notes... If you rub it your breaking that whole process. Another thing you forgot to mention is the right season to each fragrance... Fruty, citric, aquatic, work better in warmer weather. Spicy, sweet use them when it's cold... Using the wrong fragrance on the wrong season of the year can come awfully messy. I'm with you in what concerns keeping the boxes 😉... The world of fragrances is an amazing universe and has a lot of science into it. I began knowing this once I started collecting them 2 years ago and everyday I learn something new... 😉
Great analysis! Thank you!
Love your channel. Good work! Need more positive videos developing men!
Holy shit, this was Great!! So tired of every fraghead ever saying: 7 SPRAYS MINIMUM
Great vid as always, brotha.. the rubbing thing I have heard not to do for years from others as well... I know I moisturize with non scented lotion first after the shower and the spray vs rub just in case... I guess its to each his/her own🤔
Loving loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
