Some fragrances need more sprays than others. And apply on clothes. After a shower, I use a moisturizer (unscented) cream, and wait 3-5 minutes, and after that, I spray on me and on clothes. Also, each skin is different.
That was a great video! I’m happy because this is how I was taught to apply perfume way back…(‘87-‘95). My aunt was having a parfumerie. My favorite tip is the Hair. I noticed how nice and long the smell remains (I have think hair). But yeah, wrists, neck, clothes. I didn’t think of the rising up of the scent, good point!
Steven you have the best explanation of this on YT! Thank you for speaking very eloquently and in an easy-to-understand manner 😊 I only have 1 small tiny detail to fix lol the arteries are responsible for a pulse, and not the veins. But yes the point came across either way 😊
Excellent video! best “how to apply fragrances video” I have ever seen, with scientific explanation and hadn’t heard about avoiding high contact areas, and especially that applying it to your hair extends the life of the fragrance👍
Great video , thanks Steve , follow up video would be great to point someone to when they are concerned about lack of compliments. I believe Confidence & Compliments go hand in hand . Obviously nobody will compliment a fragrance they cannot smell on you . I was a person that started wearing fragrances late in life . I was also self conscious until I learned “ I wear fragrances for myself , not others “ I learn to follow most of your tips in the video by being active with others in fragrance community . I also now understand longevity and evaporation , as well as what is the the difference between Silage & projection . Those factor determine my spray pattern , fragrance by fragrance, situation by situation, what the environment around me will be like . But it took watching videos like this and some hit & miss myself on Overspraying/ Underspraying . I just let people who ask know , I have a 3-4-5 pattern on most of my collection on the points of body you mention .
Thank you for your advice Steven! To be honest it is so difficult with those „pulse points“. Some TH-camrs tell their followers to avoid spraying on those pulse points and others recommend it. Maybe I give it a try. Your recommendation with the hair sounds interesting, but since I have thin and sensitive hair, I probably would avoid it. Have a nice weekend and keep up the good work. I do enjoy your calm and detailed style of presentation! Looking forward to watch the video „How to increase the longevity of your scent“! With kind regards from Germany, Julian ✌🏽🙂
Roja Dove empfiehlt ebenfalls das Auftagen an den Puls Punkten. Ich denke, mal der sollte es wissen. Ein großes Problem bei sehr vielen ist tatsächlich die besagte Geruchsblindheit nach bereits wenigen Minuten. Ich mache aktuell kaum noch Sprühstösse am Hals und auf der Brust sondern mehr an den Schultern und Armen was mir selbst deutlich länger Freude am ausgetragenen Parfum beschert! Grüße gehen raus. 😊
@@pitbullthebitbull Das stimmt wohl, vielen Dank für ihre Antwort. 👍🏽🙂 Das heißt, dass Sie ihren Duft dann auch auf ihre Kleidung auftragen, oder? Ich bin bisher so bei 3 - 4 Sprühstößen im Halsbereich. Die Bekleidung habe ich bisher vermieden, weil zum einem, wollte ich Verfärbungen vermeiden und zum anderen, soll sich der Duft ja auch verändern. Mein Problem ist, dass ich leider häufig die Düfte nicht mehr wahrnehme und es dann auch mit den Sprühstößen nicht übertreiben möchte, weil ich Größtenteils im Büro arbeite. Andererseits ist es natürlich schön auch mal ein Kompliment zu bekommen. Hat zum ersten Mal mit Parfums de Marly Layton (aktuell habe ich das nur als Duftprobe) funktioniert. Eine Kollegin, die leider nicht mehr bei uns arbeitet, hat mich auf den Duft angesprochen und gesagt, dass ich gut riechen würde. Klingt sicher ziemlich eitel, aber ich habe über die Jahre so viele Düfte ausprobiert, da war das schon ein schönes Gefühl. 😊 Mal sehen was es noch für Tipps und Tricks gibt. Viele Grüße und nochmals vielen Dank!👋🏽
Spraying on the wrist is of no use cuz you will wash hands and the water will go over your wrists and that's a waste also you will probably wear a watch so...
Great content. Could you go over how to layer with molecules 01 and 02. And which one does best with fresh fragrances and which one for woody/warmer scents
Id love a video like this as well. I realize this video came out 8 months ago so I’ll check to see if he released it since then. If not, maybe this comment will help.
I've had a sample of Myslf for a little while and just got around to smelling it for the first time, and the Similarities between this and Beverly Hills polo club classic were quite surprising to me, Also smells similar to Zippo classic imho.
Thank you so much. I appreciate your advice. You are awesome! I had to hear this from a Man. Haven’t heard this topic from my female perfume influencers.
I work in a children’s hospital so I’m really mindful of how many sprays I do for work. 4-5 max. And I always get compliments from nurses, patients, doctors, my fellow rehab co-workers. When it comes to spraying on the back of my neck … I also spray onto the back of my head. Therefore, my fragrance is in the fade of my hair. Lol. I was wearing Moresque UBAR 1992 one day. 6 hours later after I sprayed it … in a meeting my co-worker goes oh are you wearing something different because it smells good. Now outside of work … I OVERSPRAY! 😂
One thing I find challenging is dealing with crappy atomizers which can greatly hinder proper application and overall experience. Do you decant to another bottle when the atomizer is a dud?
You know, about the wrists? I find, quite vividly, that a scent works so much better, makes itself present to my nose during the day if I spray it NOT on the "palm" side of the wrist but on the "top" side (the "hairy" side). It just seems to blossom and develop there so much more richly than if I spray it on the pulse side. I suspect that whole thing about the pulse point intensifying a scent because of the blood flow is a bit of a crock. Spraying it on the top side makes a scent so much more a satisfying experience during the day.
I always apply to the Top side of wrist as it enhances the performance of fragrances. It is especially useful when trying layering combinations by spraying one fragrance on the top of the wrist and another fragrance on the bottom of the wrist
I usually spray both my arms. Why? Because when we walk, we sway our arms thus creating a vortex of the scent to extend the sillage coverage. Also, I'm not an oversprayer because as we all know, there are many layers to a perfume. If you overspray, people will tend to smell the top notes more. Underspray, or regular spraying, will get to the middle and base notes faster, and thats usually where the beauty of the fragrance is. Plus I like to wear the fragrance, not the fragrance wear me. Maybe that explains why I can count on two fingers how many times I've gotten compliments. Lol. Plus, I think women tend to compliment other people (usually other women) more than men do. Men rarely compliment each other. And most men use compliments as a conversational opener. I may be wrong. Just my view.
Trabajé en un resto muy grande y había un cliente que usa Gucci oud creo,El olor me llegaba antes que él, yo ya sabia que el estaba en camino .Pero era un cliente muy arrogante .
Just recently, I watched a video with Jacques Cavallier (LV fragrances, Tygar) who said pulse points are a myth and don’t help the fragrance… He said it was a holdover from the time when perfumes were in the form of oils.
What are your thoughs on Alfred Sung the Purple color? Can it be worn during the summer? And out of the Mont Blanc frangrances What is a everyday go to?
Mont blanc individuel us the best non offensive smell for daily things. Is a clean soapy like raspberry smell very good on clothes works the best and for the price is a banger. Mont blanc legend is the best from their brand so far, you will get something alluring like all hyped fragrances. Alfred sung purple you can used everyday in every season since is a versatile old cheapie bomb. You could also grab Mont blanc legend spirit for every day use since is something similar to that of invictus aqua 2016 but a little bit better for me.
I never spray on my inside wrists but on the above side of my arm and inside but never the wrists; it disappears after 15 minutes. Further more' don't be a sissy sprayer. If you paid lot of money to smell good then use it so others can smell aswell. Obviously the ocation is also important. Office ? Party? Clubbing? What time of the year' spring, summer, fall , winter ? So many factors that decide to use how many sprays.
I recall a video a while back by Mr. Roja Dove who said spray the fragrance and then place the lotion over. Who knows. I never spray on my hand or wrists. By nature of my job I use sanitizer 20 plus times a day and it would be a major waste
Let me try to understand this..... He is saying that we should apply fragrance to our clothes because "we are not cadavers, right, so we're generating heat all the time." What??
You may be able to mechanically shear or denature linear (or multimeric) macromolecules that are 1000 times larger than the organic aromachemicals in fragrance, but certainly not molecules of a molecular weight of < 250 that have to be small enough to evaporate at ambient temperature. Also there is no evidence to suggest that those so-called pulse points are warmer than other areas of your skin. Medics will touch pulse points to feel your pulse, not your temperature. Regional differences in surface temperature are not great anyway, but if you want maximum evaporation, spray on chest or armpits or other areas that are close to your body's core... (Good advice on applying to hair and clothes for longevity though...)
@@HansHase78 You aren’t breaking covalent bonds by rubbing your skin together. And atoms within a molecule don’t get “bruised.” You aren’t shaving even hydrogen atoms off of an H20 molecule through rubbing your hands together. Ever.
If someone has to tell you how you should apply cologne then you shouldn’t wear it ,spray how you feel to spray and don’t let any TH-camr tell you nothing ,they’re human beings like everyone else and some of them have just started really experiencing scents and can’t pin point the ingredients apart from what’s on the label and all describe scents the same ,” it’s GREEN 😂 spicy 😂 VANILLA 😂😂😂😂

The best teaching on TH-cam how to apply frangrances ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 I always bring my bottle with me the one I'm wearing for the day😂
2 sprays to the chest of a shirt. 1 to the stomach. 2 to the back of the neck. If I’m wearing short sleeve, 1 spray to each forearm.
The subject aside... I like your watch and pocket square, my friend 👍

And it doesn’t look as odd if your smelling yourself throughout the day!

When i spray on the underside of my wrist it always rubs off quick at work too. Will do topside from now on.

The #1 tip, that helped me a lot DRINK A LOT OF WATER! Stay hydrated, your skin will thank you and your fragrance will last forever!
Nice but i want to see what is your spray routine
Hey Steven, let's hear your advice
What are your thoughts on Curly Fragrance and her "sissy sprayer" concept? She states 16 sprays should be good.
My thoughts on Curly Fragrance are, “Yup, she’s a hottie”. ‘Nuff said.
I never spray on my inside wrists but on the above side of my arm and inside but never the wrists; it disappears after 15 minutes. Further more' don't be a sissy sprayer. If you paid lot of money to smell good then use it so others can smell aswell. Obviously the ocation is also important. Office ? Party? Clubbing?

I spray the little hair on my arms 😅
Awesome!
I appreciate your recommendations...me myself... I'm spraying skin and clothes...i want to be SMELLED 😂
I spray 10-15 time in front of my shrit. That last me a whole day 😅
😊👍🏼
🥰🙌
Thank you for watching!
I always spray once on each side of my neck that’s it
That’s just a little tease, you gotta give the ladies more than that! Just giving you a hard time, be well and God Bless.

Smooches. Biggest in the game!
Is it not recommended to leave a perfume bottle in a vehicle?
Don't sissy spray! (oh, wrong channel!) Curly is entertaining to watch, though.
And to look at do jumping jacks!!!
I disagree about hair because most conditioner and styling products also have a scent that will mix with your fragrance and potentially ruin it
I had to chuckle with "controversy" on the topic part.
What has the world come to
4 sprays in each arm pit >> deodorant
It's your clothes.there is no other way to apply your perfume.😏✌️
Thank you for watching
Skin and clothes
Spray it on the hair is such an unhealthy advice. Some perfumes might be safe but most will include harmful chemicals for hair.
Alcohol in perfume will dry out hair too
Nice eyebrows. Are you sure you're straight?
“Bruise the molecules?”
Aren’t you a teacher? Surely you have studied chemistry.
You may be able to mechanically shear or denature linear (or multimeric) macromolecules that are 1000 times larger than the organic aromachemicals in fragrance, but certainly not molecules of a molecular weight of < 250 that have to be small enough to evaporate at ambient temperature.
