Smelling good, just like looking good is good business, but just like everything else moderation is very important. Applying on a pungent trail of overly musky cologne can become embarrassingly wrong. Every man should apply proper etiquette in putting on a fragrance.
Here’s a guide on wearing fragrance the proper way.
How Much Cologne Should I Apply?
Despite the initial instinct to use as much of it as possible or just emptying the whole bottle on yourself, it’s important that only the right amount of your fragrance is used. Dousing your body in fragrance could actually do more harm than good for your appearance. Furthermore, it’s advisable to use cologne lightly when going on a business meeting or for an interview as your acquaintances may be allergic to certain types of fragrances which you are obviously not aware of. Wouldn’t that be a
great way to ruin your chances for that big job or business partnership?
Where Should I Apply Cologne
There are a couple of key areas called “pulse points” that a man should hit while applying his cologne.
Generally speaking, your chest, mainly around the base of your throat, is the best place to apply fragrance. It allows the cologne to mingle with your own natural odors and pheromones, creating something distinctly you. Additionally, a dab of cologne under each ear will do good to surely grab the attention of a hot date leaning close enough to you. You can apply cologne to your wrists too. However, it is advised that you do not rub the cologne into your skin as the friction will break down the molecules causing the fragrance to dissipate quicker.
When Should I Apply Cologne?
Applying your cologne immediately after a nice, hot shower will maximize your efforts. After a hot shower, your pores will open, capturing the scents of your cologne. This will help keep you smelling great all day. It should be noted that combining the scent of your cologne with strong scented soaps, deodorants and body washes are not recommended. This is because the strong fragrances of these hygienic necessities will either completely cover up that fine cologne you’re using or alter the scent of your cologne altogether.
What Type of Cologne Should I Use?
There are different types of cologne. A common mistake many men make is sticking to one particular scent — something more like a “signature” scent. It’s okay to change your cologne at any time throughout the year. A light, citrusy scent won’t thrive during cold weather, therefore it’s best left for warmer weather. Similarly, full-bodied spicy or woodsy fragrances during warm weather could be overpowering and best left for the colder seasons.
It’s also worthy to note that the cologne you wear to the office may not always be the best cologne to wear to a night club or lounge. If your goal is to simply wear a single scent on a daily basis, shoot for a more uniform fragrance that fits your own personal style.
