Real shit !! I'm like 10 sprays with Armaf intense man.... It's the Feb 2019 made in France batch so it gets weak fast but that first half hour I'm blasting fools with this !! 🤣🤣
What is the best spray distance for projection? When spraying fragrances on skin, especially the wrist, I usually spray 6 inches and the fragrance usually leaves an oily film on the skin (Most of my fragrances are EDP or Parfum concentrations). After the top notes dissipate, the fragrance feels muted and doesn’t project as well. Does Having oily skin help with longevity, but hamper projection? How can I apply EDP and Parfum fragrances with improved projection?
Great video. Only complaint is Sauvage. It smells good but does NOT last longer than 2 hours or so. I have tested all 3 types and none of them have decent longevity "for the money."
Damn I think I’m an oversprayer and I don’t remember ever going over 5 or 6 ,, I’ve choked myself out with a strong scent bubble ( which also makes me a little self conscious, are others being choked out , messing up their meal ?… lol ) Yesterday I wore PDM Pegasus for first time , think I did 3 sprays around neck and one on chest , Had to drive 2 hours .. My poor wife , That first hour it smelled to me like high end bug spray ,, Hours later on the drive home it smelled really nice .. I never do the wrist , so maybe that is why ? I think I’ll try your method
Thank you for the info. It looks like you love those pulse on your. I have always thought the back of the ear was the ideal place. What is so special about those particular pulse on the hand?
Good tips, especially the shower routine, you can spray cologne on unwashed ass and you'll still smell like unwashed ass. As far as the lotion, do you spray immediately after applying lotion or do you wait a little bit for it to get into the skin?
As a former fragrance manager their are very few fragrance reviewers I find that I respect and this man is by far my favorite he is always impressing me with his class fragrance choices. He does recommend some synthetics but it's mostly just class fragrances.
Thanks Bow tie fragrance guy. Good tips. I like the 3,5,7 rule and the lotion you referred. I also put a little Vaseline on my pulse points. I find that the Vaseline traps the fragrance and gives it longevity. Keep doing your thing and I will catch you on the flip side Lol
For heavy frags, I’d never spray on my neck. It’s just too much, too close to my nose. I recommend men not shave their bodies like a naked mole rat, and utilize that god-given chest hair. I also quit spraying my wrists in favor of my forearms. My wrists get washed along with my hands throughout the day, so it’s a waste. Great vid, man!
Very good presentation. I would love to see a video dedicated to other 3, 5 and 7 fragrances to compare with how I and others view them. Well done sir. P
Hehe! With fragrances like Versace Man eau fraiche, Boss bottled Tonic and Dior homme cologne I go 15-20 sprays easy. They wont bother anybody anyway. You’ll just smell good.😎💨💨💨💨💨 But great video man! I agree on the rest.👍
I've been trying to get this right for a while. As a young man the old heads taught us less is better. But with EDT vs EDP its hard to get it right. I just ordered my first extrait (we'll see). Most EDPs I only need 2/3 sprays. But you hit it with the wrist, I'm going to have to go back to that.
My guy. Good video. Question. I have a variety of fragrances.... so how would I know about the oil levels to know 3-5-7? Know you mentioned all EDTs are 7
I follow that spray regiment, though I spray on the inside of my elbows instead of my wrists, and if I just shaved, then I’ll spray the bare skin behind each ear instead of the sides of my neck , so I’m not irritating freshly shaved skin with alcohol.
Great content!!! Appreciate you breaking it down!! Thats wassup! Never realized the art of applying...but def will take the tips to heart. As always putting us up on game to help us to keep smelling amazing!! Good looking out!
What would you say about top of the wrist instead of pulse point on the wrist? That way you’re not rubbing the places you applied if you work on a computer or something like that? I heard rubbing can ruin the breakdown of the fragrance and make performance decrease and muddle the notes
Whats up Darien! Question...I own 4 Creed scents...Aventus, Milliseme Imperial, Silver Mountain Water, & Virgin Island Water. Does these scents fall under the 3, 5, or 7 category? And also sometimes I may mix 2 of these such as Aventus & Silver Mountain Water or Silver Mountain Water & Virgin Island Water...does this change their category when I do this?
Bruh when he said you don’t wanna be wearing dior sauvage and mixing it with coco butter I was like shit that’s i be doing. Lol I’m been messing up this whole time. Glad I found this! Thanks brother!
I appreciate your reviews especially about your personal hygiene routine, what is cool is the fragrances you review are not typical fragrances, and they cost some coins too, you make me proud as a black woman to see your level of sophistication, and class. Great job, dynamic blessings to you and your family.
Because that lotion helps keep the skin hydrated so the fragrance does not get eaten up by the skin quickly, like it would on dry skin that lacks moisture for hydration. The lotion also creates another barrier between the skin and sprayed fragrance to help slow it down from being burned off by body heat quickly
Mr. Bow Tie Fragrance man, Thank you. You have an excellent presentation. I became a new Subscriber today & I am looking forward to your upcoming videos. I have not purchased very many bottles of men's cologne. However, this evening I went to our shopping mall & picked up a bottle of Creed Millesime Imperial after seeing your review. I'm looking forward to trying it out tomorrow. I appreciate your channel and will see many more of your videos. Blessed Day🙏
I always spray kinda heavy (except for the few beasts I own), but that's due to how my skin is with fragrance. I've only ever over sprayed twice in my years of fragrance use. Great video, sir! Keep up the amazing content
Bow, what are the soaps you would recommend? I don’t like to use scented body washes but I do want to know the best that you feel are the best. Looking at not having the cologne and body washes clashing. Great content My G ✊🏾
In the spirit of using your fragrance hack I was able to find lotion that complimented the scent I was wearing. That way after the dry down, you still catch a hint of vanilla or almond lingering.
0k you shouldn't waist spray on your rust bad place it's the fastest place for the fragrance yo leave if u only doing 3 sprays then the neck points us thd best place simpl
I don't like spraying anything on my wrists because once I wash my hands, the scent fades/disappears. If I have to spray on my arm, I spray in the connecting area between forearm and upper arm (antecubital fossa) which is also right by a pulse point and not going to get hit with water.
See to me savage smells great but Versace last way longer so cheap fregrance last longer on me im lucky like. Dior savage I smell it throught the day but after a hour so week
im kinda new to fragrances and i only have eros and dylan blue so far, i have a women coming over to chill or get intimate, is 1 spray of eros in the neck enough or should i spray more? or even go for the dylan blue?
@@rrrrr____ Good Question. I would spray 2 on the chest before you put on a shirt. Once you put the shirt on, then 1 spray on the neck. Do that 30 minutes before she gets there and you good.
@@tyreebranch isnt 3 sprays of Eros a bit overkill if im gonna get intimate with her? ive heard alot of people say Eros is pretty strong. I'm gonna be wearing Dylan Blue daily to work and i work in an office, im thinking 2 sprays behind the ear and 1 on the back of my neck is that good? sorry if im asking alot i just dont wanna be that guy that gasses the room lol
@@tyreebranch aight thanks will do, what about dylan blue? im going to use it daily and i work in an office, im thinking 2 behind the ears and the 3rd one back of the neck or on my chest what do you recommend?
i find it hard to believe that some youtubers claim they spray as much as 20 goddamn times. i've heard this from glam finds and that fragrance reviewer chick from the netherlands (the "no sissy sprayers" gal). like, damn. imagine if i did even 10 sprays of dior sauvage EDT, or rassasi hawas. it would be a nuclear fragrance bomb that would most likely annoy the hell out of people. FWIW, 4 sprays of rassas hawas was already enough to fill up the whole office i worked in.
Many oversprayers do it because they are insecure about themselves even though they will not admit it. They simply crave attention and can't stand it when all eyes are not on them. It really is about boosting their ego and to take the focus off their ego, they'll try throwing other people under the bus referring to them as sissy sprayers
Can i have your opinion on Bleu de Chanel parfum? I just dont know how many sprays no mater what i do people just are not satisfied its either unnoticed or too strong. I do 2 sprays behind each ear to get a good scent trail.
BowTie FragranceGuy seems like alot for the parfum but im not one to ignore advice when given especially from someone who knows their fragrances Thank you!
I sprayed 1 in my nose so I can smell it longer, and 3 on my briefs so when I pass gas you get those deep citrus high notes from my trail.
🤣🤣💀
Childish answer but funny, hats off to you my friend.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Somebody issss stooooopid🤣🤣🤣🤣

I was on deployment in Iraq and brought a very good cologne over there. Do you know where I c0uld get more cologne like that?
Excellent.
Shout out to you with the Renew Lotion. Best lotion out there. #MelaStrong
Where to buy that lotion ?does Wal-Mart carry it?
Great video!
Headed to Colombia, what do you recommend? Tom Ford Oud Wood, Portait of a Lady, Polo?
I appreciate you brother

I'm more of a 7-11-15 spray guy myself 🤣🤣
what in the fuck
I felt like 7 was too much, that's your low xD
@@benwolf5264 7 is way to low man,,I’m in the 12-20 sprays and when I’m asked I tell them I got good skin lol that I only do 5 sprays they buy it 😂😂

I’ve never commented on TH-cam subscriptions but this was really concise with good examples. Good job as always
i think ive seen you on fragrantica. do you own parfums de marly
I never heard of renew lotion before. I am so glad you told your male comrades to take a Shower!!
Lmao
Problem with spraying your clothes is that, if you re-wear a shirt/jacket, you best match it to the perfume you initially sprayed on it. 😕
You gave the cologne community something we've been asking for, for a long time! Great job, great video! Make this a #tag video.
kryptonite166 salute 👊🏾
Thank you so much for this because i'm a over sprayer but this really makes sense, I'm always choking out on my fragrances lol
TheCherysTv lol 👌🏾
Try whipped shea butter unscented instead of lotion
I reapply my scents at work on my breaks just in case😂
If you spray on your neck you get nose blind so always spray behind your ears and mainly on clothes. Ali from Uk
How many sprays for Layton and how many for Bleu De Chanel Parfum do you recommend?
Very good presentation. I would love to see a video dedicated to other 3, 5 and 7 fragrances to compare with how I and others view them. Well done sir. P
I like that 3-5-7 rule! Most of everything comes in 3/5/7
I once did 20 sprays of prada l'home and it was kinda disgusting thought i will vomit🤣
never again
Best laid back cologne VIDEO EVER ON TH-cam . The music ,the background literally * 2022
Personally I would never go above 5 sprays if even but I guess that depends on the occasion

I spray behind my ear the neck sprays my chest the wrist and then ankles
This was a good video I always tell my husband that he is not doing enough sprays so this will be great info for him Thanks for your help. 👍🏾😊
You can get away with over spraying Millesime Imperial by Creed, when I used to have a bottle of it, I would do 10 sprays and get compliments.
My favorite fragrance. Try armar club de nuit Milestone. The best clone for $40
My guy. Good video. Question. I have a variety of fragrances.... so how would I know about the oil levels to know 3-5-7? Know you mentioned all EDTs are 7

I hope my brother in-law doesn't see this video because he will double your formula!
Always start with a fresh shower and moisturize....Solid advice ........
Wish you would’ve wrote the fragrances out. Other than that love the channel. Thanks.
You know you hurt a lot of brothers by suggesting we should not use cocoa butter scented lotion.
Great content!!! Appreciate you breaking it down!! Thats wassup! Never realized the art of applying...but def will take the tips to heart. As always putting us up on game to help us to keep smelling amazing!! Good looking out!
Black afgano is one of those fragrances you can get away with spraying 1 or 2 times tops since it’s super strong
Nassomatto makes good parfum
Shout Outs and BIG UP'z to you big bro!!!! Great review! I'm taking notes. "THUMBS UP"🥊🔔
Ive been dealing with alot and recently trying to change my life around. This video helps a lot. Thanks.

I'd say 3. Creed is 🔥🔥🔥
How about spraying in the back of ears and neck....Your choice of spray is definitely perfect for an intimate date, mine for for getting one...
Post strayed is pointless to me at least behind your ear or something
Ugh🙄I totally over spray. Love your content.
I learned that from personal hygiene class.always take a shower before u apply cologne or body sprays.
Tom Ford is 4 for me… behind each ear and inner elbows
why 3-5-7!? You on the square?
I like to spray it at people I walk past to truly enjoy it
Bruh when he said you don’t wanna be wearing dior sauvage and mixing it with coco butter I was like shit that’s i be doing. Lol I’m been messing up this whole time. Glad I found this! Thanks brother!

Hello Darien, how are you? Thank you for that great information! Stay safe Brother
I spray the palms and give the neck a slight rub , done . Thanks for the video Sir .
Is it true you can make your cologne last longer if you mix it with unscented lotion?
Any recommendations on body wash/soap to use?
Been using Charcoal by Native as of late before I get dressed and put on the fragrance of the day/night.
Amouge recommended using a non-scented lotion to enhance the projection and longevity of Reflection Man. Why do you suppose they said this?
Because that lotion helps keep the skin hydrated so the fragrance does not get eaten up by the skin quickly, like it would on dry skin that lacks moisture for hydration. The lotion also creates another barrier between the skin and sprayed fragrance to help slow it down from being burned off by body heat quickly
Do you ever spray behind your ear? Because I do.
I spray my cologne in my lotion container

What obvious reasons?
