I find that when I spray my fragrances in my mouth my breath stays fresh all day and it projects super hard when I talk to people

Try spraying your boxers so when you let one rip, you get super projection.

[@jeffjamjeff6669]

I think it would be a cool idea to add to your reviews how many sprays you found ideal for that particular fragrance

[@kingdavey87]

Yes, I would like for fragrance reviewers to do this. It would be nice to have that as a reference.

[@timmytimsen3030]

I am know I’m late, but look up Jeremy Fragrance. He describes applying fragrance perfectly.

[@joaquingonzalez7504]

Yes

[@Alex-mh6ou]

Personal preference

[@jeffjamjeff6669]

@@Alex-mh6ou You're totally right. I just thought it may help the viewer to know when someone says they get "4hrs longevity," how many sprays did they use to get that particular experience. Just another tidbit to add to a review. But otherwise, yes. Spray as much as you feel comfortable with.

Another problem with spraying the wrist is that when you wash your hands, the fragrance gets washed off.

[@jeremyhinze8837]

🤨 huh! Washing your hands why does that was off the wrist 🤔🤣

[@DarlingNikki2]

@@jeremyhinze8837 You don't wash your wrists when you wash your hands? Ewwww! 🤣 Just kidding, but some people do (I didn't realize it, but I do, especially in public restrooms), so I can see how spraying the wrists might not work too well. I tend to spray all over my arms instead of my wrists (plus my wrists sometimes make fragrances smell quite different; my inner elbow crease does that, too).

[@jeremyhinze8837]

Another nuggets of wisdom a newbie like myself needed. Thank you Ashe!

[@raunc9278]

thanks for the tips. especially on the neck sprays and experiencing olfactory fatigue. I will change it up to behind the ears going forward. What would be nice is if you can make a part two to this video and talk about reformulations and the best way to go about with layering fragrances.

Man you’re so right about being bombarded if you spray too high on your chest. I sprayed Versace Dylan blue on my upper chest, and man that Ambroxon was nauseating. Gave me a headache. Almost got rid of the fragrance, but tried it behind my ears and that was so much better.

[@larsaustin]

Very useful tips

[@raulsaavedra709]

Great video, but I wish actually you had demo'ed some spraying believe it or not, to see exactly for example how far you apply it. Also would be great to know how many times on average would you recommend to apply an average lasting and projection cologne on the body, kind of as a point of reference. How much would that be, maybe 5 times / places?

[@Vartimei]

thanks!

[@ferbeybill]

Nicely done, thanks for the info!

[@jameslife3692]

My go to is one spray behind each ear, one on the front of the neck and one on the back of the neck

[@Newenglandah1376]

The spot that works well for me is the side of the wrist on the inside so at the wrist behind the end of the thumb. It last well there and you don't have that rub off issue nearly as much. Also the top of the hand inline with the base of your pointing finger but closer to the wrist.

[@SitesThatSuck]

Yeah if you don't wash your hands. Nasty.

[@softshallow7435]

Hello friend. I’ve bought Davidoff Cool Water Eau de Toilette, it’s arriving tomorrow ( hopefully). How strong is it please in projection and how long would it last and how many sprays would I need? Thanks.

Can you do a updated video of this please. Starting the mini collection back up and would like to see your take on the sprays. I guess you if you have to choose, winter fragrances

[@junzsi]

Oh and then maybe another video with the summer fragrances sprays 🤷🏻😁

[@KerryFairbanks]

Interesting as I just happened to start spraying behind my knee/hamstrings on leg day at the gym. Got the short shorts on. Unfortunately, spraying on my chest makes me break out so I go elbow crooks, behind ears, back of neck. I'll walk through mist at the end if I want to go heavier

[@bekogrylls8126]

Any chance to see the top of projection beasts for fall/winter of 2019-2020?

[@WhoIamUno]

What are your guys Winter and cold months spray routine? I find that it's harder for scents to project with layers of clothing on, like jackets and hoodies. So how do you guys overcome this? I know you wear darker scents and perfume concentrations, but where can you spray when so much of your body is covered by clothing?

[@Brutalizer79]

Might be a dumb question, but when you go with the inner elbow, do you do both arms or just pick one?

[@shaunleonard3878]

Excellent video! The only thing I’d add is to go lightly until you know how a fragrance reacts on your skin. My first time wearing Explorer, I went 7 or 8 sprays because everyone said it was a weak performer. I was choking everyone around me, including myself.

[@tblub.9270]

😂😂

[@n8brez603]

If I don't use 8-10 sprays of Explorer, it will only last 90 min lol

[@roimarionuy5417]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@amrsaed.]

Hi , Can shaking fragrance affecting its smell specially top notes ? , I tend to take my fragrance everyday everywhere, and carrying it while walking for more than hour daily , but I start to feel it smells different than It was just new

[@lazybuccaneer7683]

EDT has more alcohol that's why the "projection" is louder but parfum or EDP will last longer.

[@loganfiremyplace8518]

As a newbie to aftershave, I have to thank you for the advice, I l know why my lass does not kiss my neck

[@miketex75219]

Softer projection fragrances I’ll spray on my forearm. Less likely to wipe off.

[@Marijuana870]

What about my ballpack it's pretty warm down there. Will it projects

[@mattm9618]

I've noticed spraying on clothes, that I mainly only smell top and mid notes. Sometimes that bottom note dry down is the best note.

[@I3lackVeNoM911]

That's why I do both skin and clothing

[@jasek911]

7:58 I came to the same idea after I overwhelmed my nose (twice) with Kouros Body and brought about a headache to me.

[@tvang464]

How to apply something strong like PdM Layton exclusif? I only use two sprays, one on each side of neck or behind ear area. But I notice an hour later, people who sit next to me in a car, don't like it. Do I go with only one spray?

[@RobertLaTuso]

When applying fragrances at a distance of 4-6 inches (every atomizer seems to be different) should you move the atomizer across the skin in a sweeping motion or keep the atomizer stationary, when spraying on your desired pulse point/location? I noticed that when I went to a perfume store recently the associate who applied the Fragrance, sprayed on my skin in a sweeping motion?!

[@jonnyb1438]

Where do YOU spray though?

[@Old_SnakeTwitch]

If you have a scent that dosent last very long, would it not be better to avoid pulse points, and spray extra? Seems like it would last longer if you avoided the pulse points, less evaporation?

[@dicasdoanthony]

Masterclass.

[@dajuice7030]

You forgot the taint :) No seriously great advice plus you have a button up today so you know he means business.

[@Only_Hater]

[@houssenalyyohan]

Do you put vaseline before to wear fragrance ?

[@moeabdul8728]

360 around my neck and chest 👍

[@sheldon6531]

D&G The One EDT, I spray 4 times, two on the sides of the neck and twice in the hair behind the ears. Last all day easily

[@sheldon6531]

@Andrei Andrei2 Works great. Scent clings to the hair there. Why spray shoulders and risk staining clothes?

[@sameoldeh]

One spray in your hair (assuming a person has hair on their head) works well. Try to avoid using strong scented soap/shampoo. That will clash with fragrance.

[@savinskiclaude4518]

Probably the best explained how to apply cologne.

[@michaelmaniscalco1150]

Back of your hands I also find applying an unscented mineral oil b4 putting on your fragrance will make it last all day , oil dose not evaporate

[@killer29209]

Michael Maniscalco do you put it on your whole body like lotion or only on your application points?

[@lullemans72]

10:21 wait a minute, spraying it on the chest area in my experience barely makes the scent detectable, especially if you're wearing a dress shirt, suit or sweater during winter....

[@mrpurple33]

I've heard that EDT has more alcohol in it, therefore it projects better of the skin. While more perfume and less alcohol should lead to longer lasting.

[@Hosenanzugtasche]

Theoretically, but the formulations aren't the same. It's not straight up diluted.

[@jeremyhinze8837]

In theory thats correct the alcohol is a big part of the fragrance diffusing into the air as it evaporates but there are so many factors that its always the case.

[@XclusiveAaron]

1 Million is the same. The original EDT is so strong, brilliant projection, loud fragrance. Not to say the flankers aren't, the Parfum is very heavy and the Prive EDP also strong but nothing performs like the original!

[@Frank7G]

Where I spray my fragrances is on my chest and behind the ears.

[@RIPToNateDoggIHadToRegulate]

I usually just lift my shirt and spray upwards onto my chest and onto my back. It hits my shirt a little but since I have to change for my work I dont mind.

[@rickyanthony]

I think when people say EDP is better vs EDT they mean everything else being equal. Lots of variables. Reformulations, different batches etc.
