Applying Cologne

The best time to apply your cologne is after a shower before you’ve put on your shirt. Spray the cologne into the air and walk into it. If you’re already dressed, the back of your neck and wrist areas are your next best bet since they naturally diffuse more scent then the rest of your body. Never spray cologne on your clothes.
Remember that hotter it gets the more intense the scents from your cologne will be, especially when combined with your sweat. Go lighter in the summer, and heavier in the winter. Oilier skins tend to amplify the scents a bit, so take it easy.

How much is enough

One or two spritzes are enough. Don’t douse yourself in the stuff. “If you’re constantly smelling the fragrance, you’ve applied too much.” says Rochelle Bloom, president of the Fragrance Foundation. She or he should be pretty close to you before she gives you the “ahhh you smell nice” line, and becomes weak in the knees.

Don’t Mix Scents

Unless you want to confuse or repulse him or her with a potpourri of scents, don’t mix scented lotions or aftershaves with your cologne. If you do, be sure they’re compatible and compliment each other.

If you can, try to have always a feel options since our state of mind changes as well as the the situations. Try to have enough options to suit these changes, plus wearing the same cologne everyday is boring and it may end up making you sick to you stomach.
