FRAGRANCE APPLYING HACKS!/ HOW TO PROPERLY APPLY FRAGRANCE/ Use my 3-5-7 Application System

How to Apply Cologne/Fragrance
In this video I will cover my fragrance application routine. Taking a shower and applying your fragrance on clean skin is extremely important. After taking a shower, apply a non scented or lightly scented fragrance. Next, contingent upon the concentration, or strength of the fragrance, use my 3-5-7 spray routine to ensure that you’re not over applying or over spraying.

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.

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.

Ive been dealing with alot and recently trying to change my life around. This video helps a lot. Thanks.

[@munkeefinkelbeen5395]

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

[@jamesfitzgerald2763]

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

Right on brother i am def going to start using this system tomorrow .. I know this info must seem pretty straight foreward but it is good to kbow that i was doin simething similar .. Thank you again

[@reggiewatson9382]

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.

[@chi-towncalifornia5916]

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.

[@aikjones1]

Nice one. I've been cautious with my sprays like u've described, nice to see the bosses in the game confrm.

[@frankkinley6272]

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🙏

Thanks for the tip I’m definitely going to try out some of that lotion you’re the man 👍🏽🔥🎩🌂

[@Orochi_001]

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!

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great video and I enjoyed it and i agree with you a 1000 percent have a blessed night

[@mikeyg9189]

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.👍

[@tharanmanning7868]

[@k2000kidd1]

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.

[@tharanmanning7868]

I learned that from personal hygiene class.always take a shower before u apply cologne or body sprays.

[@greggraham9785]

Hello Darien, how are you? Thank you for that great information! Stay safe Brother

[@DDPYogaBoomer]

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

[@RobertLaTuso]

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?

[@tourinojacks5844]

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."

[@longbeachoriginal2360]

How many sprays for Layton and how many for Bleu De Chanel Parfum do you recommend?

[@PhantomX786]

quality videos as usual

[@isabellegiorgis2975]

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...

[@alimoeed2577]

If you spray on your neck you get nose blind so always spray behind your ears and mainly on clothes. Ali from Uk

[@scipiofinancial2013]

Good tips bro.

[@tommyf6576]

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

[@thomasgreen6859]

IDK about spraying that Versace Man EAU FRAICHE 7 Times! The bottle I have is super strong and lasts a long time on me! Lol

[@geniuzminded]

Shout out to you with the Renew Lotion. Best lotion out there. #MelaStrong

[@losmit2194]

Where to buy that lotion ?does Wal-Mart carry it?

[@billybob728]

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.

Great video!! I use the 1-2-3 rule when a women is coming over my place to chill.

[@rrrrr____]

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?

[@tyreebranch]

@@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.

[@rrrrr____]

@@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]

@@rrrrr____ that's why you spray 2 underneath your shirt on skin. Trust me you'll be good.

[@rrrrr____]

@@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?

[@23nickhewitt]

Would you put on the lotion before the cologne?

[@mikekisonu6825]

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. 😕

[@steventhomas2113]

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?

[@Blodia1990]

I'd say 3. Creed is 🔥🔥🔥

[@RaiderGannon12]

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.

[@bigmike6030]

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?
