Whats up Doc? How to apply Fragrance / Colognes

[@Adamhitt]

Cody! Your hair trick TOTALLY worked!!! I tried it last night with Kilian's Incense Oud and I can still smell it this morning... I've never had such great longevity before. I think you've permanently put a dent in the "How many sprays and where" category... nice job sir.

[@powerf98]

so , i usually skip through long videos and yet this felt like it wasn't long enough! I guess It's only boring when the person is repetitive and has nothing to share. You did a good job man! And oh, i've been spraying my head fo years now and it always worked wonders for me! kudos once again!!!

[@mrbassbro25]

These 27 minutes are well justified. Elucidating compared to other videos on the topic. Thanks for sharing Doc. Subscribed.

[@korih2960]

Dr.Fragrance, Its me again. Kori, Im impressed, you could be a consultant now on Colognes for men with your experience and knowledge. Between the 400+ bottle collection and the research and personal interest in time spent, because of the love, dedication you put into these vids. It is important to note here for your readers, how accurate you are with your information. You hit on a few Key points, that interested me. The most important was when you said to apply to the head, kneck, and wrist area's. That was interesting because i had been doing that now for a few years out of instinct as this had been a question before. So you confirmed for me what i was doing was correct. I am grateful for your work, Thanks

[@jaykn0ws]

That sweater is top notch.

[@Blindbuyguy]

Thanks bro. u really shed light on a lot on the ignorance of the discussed topic. I'm gonna kill the game with the "hair spray" tip. thanx again

[@L8bro]

Great vid!! I like back of hand v. wrist because... it's a larger area, watch band won't absorb it, its more exposed with long sleeves, has hair, and easier to wash hands without washing it off.

[@SummerSummer101]

man..great video like if there would be a top ten of fragrance reviewers on yt than only because of this video i would put you easily in the top 5, extremly informatic explanation thank you.

[@dracdoc]

@flavin32 It shouldn't dry out your hair or cause hair loss.. your head naturally oils your hair as well.. and fragrance contains oil as well. Dermo's recommend a variety of things.. what aspect are you referring to?

[@dracdoc]

Depends.. what price range are you looking for? Back to Black is one byKillian

[@alwaysnewfrags4616]

A suggestion from Ronald at the Creed Boutique in NYC helped me. Since I sport facial hair (goatee), after all the normal places, I hit the goatee a couple times then quickly comb it through. It lasts all day, and the ladies seem to enjoy it. The hair absorbs it very well, and gives it up all day.

[@dracdoc]

Always New Frags That's a good idea!

[@Ashengard111]

Great video as always Doc, i really like the how you pay respect to you viewers by the way you dress and the polite way you speak. I just want to add that the weather too can alter the way people perceive your fragrance. For example Encre Noire on a gloomy rainy day never fail to impress.

[@georgecscott6168]

Thanks for posting this.....I've recently purchased 22 (and climbing!) colognes and have been unsuccessful in projecting the fragrance....also, I have a bad reaction on my skin to most of the fragrances so I'll try your tips and see what happens...thanks again!

[@jimf2399]

Very informative and thorough video. I used that exact lotion before but switched to the "Men's 3-in-1" lotion. It drys faster and feels less greasy, also fragrance free. I'd recommend trying it.

[@sbautista8732WID]

Appreciate the tips! Coincidentally I recently purchased Terre D'Hermes, the EDP. For the price I expected much better longevity than what I am getting. Tops I am getting 5-7 hours the latter 3-4 hours it becomes a close skin scent. I am thinking of trying to take it back. For comparison I sprayed Chanel Egoiste on one wrist and TDH on the other; Chanel definitely overpowers it. I will try TDH tomorrow on the collar bone pits and wrists and see how it goes.

[@dracdoc]

That ones a little tougher. Depends on the spritzer. Generally you want to spray it as far away as the mist reaches its full spread. Sometimes i shorten it

[@bigfella9600]

Pretty happy I found this channel Learning a lot

[@raymondmoore230]

Thanks for the piece about fatigue. I have often experienced this and attributed this to the particular scent. Very helpful.

[@openmoutheats]

Great Video Cody!!! Very informative, it really is about how a person takes care of their body, I would like to add hydration, drinking water (1 1/2 gallons a day for men, 1 gallon for women) it just improves ones skin and overall heath, and also the things people eat also react towards how a person is going to smell, for example I know someone that is a coffee drinker and the coffee expels right through there pores etc.

[@dracdoc]

depends on how heavy the fragrance will be. With most suits I usually go for the neck, hair , wrists (and shirt cuffs as well)

[@paulinaowiredu6932]

So cool very informative did not know about even the dry skinn, moist sky towards fragrance. So cool thanks for sharing.

[@jessemseitif]

Very informative, great video! I have very dry skin as well and have tryed a number of lotions. The lotion I use now and the one I've found to work the best is Cetaphil. After using it on a reular basis for the last six months I now get at least 30% better longevity. You were very thorough in your review with a grea deal of anaylsis, much appreciated!

[@ahmed007Jaber]

big thumbs up. Well done and much appreciated. Talking about the hair I wonder if you have ever heard that spraying the hair run the danger of getting white hair. I don't know if it is true but just wondering; I have never done it due to the fact I use gel

[@IcemanSlice]

Your videos are fantastic. Great work all across the board! You cover fragrances so well. Very nice, man. Subbed!

[@skurge13]

Great vid, thanks for the info? I wanted to ask, does putting the bottles in some kind of cooler really make them last longer or is that BS? Also, I would really like a nice cinnamon fragrance, what would you recommend?

[@archiroy1578]

Thanks man! I have tried many things to keep my skin moist.I will use baby oil next. The video is great.Thanks again!

[@LucasKirbyMusic]

LOL. Classic "Doc" moment. Loved the "don't spray your balls" advice. Love the videos, good sir.

[@localgod808]

Thanks again! this video was by far the best I've seen as far as information and research on this subject; much appreciated. Now, I can try some new applications.

[@ritzy0891]

Gr8 video. Thanks ! Noticed that you wear a full suit and tie a lot. Where and how many times do you spray (lighter & stronger scents) in that kind of an outfit ? Guessing places like the shoulder pits & chest may not help then...

[@dracdoc]

Ritesh Roy Zacharias I still do spray those areas, but I usually go for the wrists when that happens and the neck

[@ritzy0891]

Thanks doc !

[@andrewscott4106]

Another great, informative video from the doc. Thanks man.

[@twlahue]

Excellent work... Loved the video- great info, thanks

[@IcebergPuba]

The length of your videos is really good! 40 minutes wouldn't have been too much!

[@KevtheMetsFan]

Cody, great and very informative video. I suffer from very sensitive and dry skin. In your opinion, what is the better option between unscented lotion and vaseline? To your knowledge, can vaseline cause breakouts?

[@jearthman]

I just bought "1 million" today because I really liked the powerful high-notes it has. Any tips for wearing this cologne specifically?

[@mrbakerstreet221b]

wow now thats in depth.... ^^ RESPECT! looks like you did a lot of research an put quite some effort in the vid (as always) - thanks doc :)

[@nexbuy]

As always great informative video. One question. So when applying a fragrance is there any reason not to spray one wrist, and use the other wrist to rub the first spray? Two for so to speak. Basically rubbing wrist together? Thanks Cody.

[@dracdoc]

Bob Jay Sometimes the fragrance is just not strong enough to do that

[@flavin32]

I loved this video! AMAZING! Would spraying on the head/hair, you spray it on the top of the head? Would it dry out the hair/cause hair loss? What do dermatologists recommend? I really appreciate the length that you went to get information and your research :)

[@dracdoc]

To my knowledge it can't... but for me it depends on the season. In the winter ill go Vaseline because it keeps me warmer. In the summer i swerve more towards unscented.

[@satisfiedcustomer]

Based on my testing of Dior Homme I only get about 3-4 hours longevity as well. I think it may just be a very light delicate fragrance. The same with D&G The One.

[@dracdoc]

wait..kinda confused. i spray each pit..not sure how you would transfer between the two

[@StPieXOraProNobis]

When you spray your shoulder pits, do you spray each pit or do you spray one side and transfer some to the other, like some say to do for the wrists? The other day, the girl behind the counter at Subway complimented me (I was wearing Aventus.) It was nice to get a compliment, but I was a bit horrified, simply because she was several feet away, I couldn't smell it on myself at all, and I'd applied pretty judiciously in the morning. Nobody wants to be "that guy," Gotta love olfactory fatigue!

[@BassFlexin]

Tips are helpful! Love watching your review man! Thanks

[@axledobe1796]

I'm excited for you to review the new L'Occitane Cade cologne. I'm torn on how I feel about it.

[@dracdoc]

Probably won't be for at least another month! Maybe longer

[@crome2298]

Thank you for your videos, I have learned so much from other videos but your's are the best! I appreciate the way you explain everything. Also the thing about women's sense of smell is so true, tell me why my girlfriend can smell what restaurant I've gone to and what I ate..... it's ridiculous. lol

[@brandonsullivan9544]

Fantastic Video! You have a great knowledge and explain yourself really well.

[@mohammedamaan3658]

I like your reviews drac can u tell me which r the super strong perfumes inexpensive

[@dracdoc]

Not yet, though I may get one up in the future

[@TheCaulfield1]

Thanks for this.....also what people tend to do, especially women, is once we've had a shower or bath, we use a body cream that matches the fragrance so you're layering the scent. Also, I don't know if this is another correct way is to spray the fragrance in the air and walk into it. I sometimes do that.

[@josecaal94]

Very helpful video man ..!! Keep up the good work

[@WaterAndClay]

Great detailed reviews and tests Doc but do you know of a good way to remove a fragrance though?

[@therealconniefrancis]

+Jeremy Hines shower and scrub, scrub, scrub!

[@marry-louise5108]

Wonderful channel you have! Have just found you) very happy about the vids!

[@SuaveAnt]

Wow awesome video! I'm going to try that method where you apply a unscented lotion first then the fragrance because I have natutally dry skin so fragrances don't last long on me.

[@YoungGunna95]

Never knew about the head/hair tip. Might have to try it out

[@flavin32]

Re watching the video again... I have a question Cody... Do you think spraying on the hair blows over everyone in terms of not being able to smell especially because scent rises??

[@AnonyMous-pk1vy]

Cody is a Raiders fan? Freaking awesome. This is going to be a big year for them as a team. I, myself, am a fan too! Time to start the Carr and turn on the AC!

[@angelosinders232]

Good one 😊

[@Vireak22]

What is the best way to apply Amen Pure Malt? On a side note, do you tap wrists together or just leave it alone when you spray a cologne on your wrists?

[@Fixxxer666]

Great video Doc!! I'm still curious as the best way to apply roll on cologne. I noticed in your full collection video you have one, and I actually just received my first roll on cologne today. It's a Tom Ford fragrance it smells really nice but it does seem a bit strong.

[@xolahx]

Thanks for all the helpful tips!! I actually spray on the back of my head and my neck.

[@gallisable]

I learnt something new ...Alfactory fatigue. I keep thinkning my fragrance has worn off and that I no longer smell good because I go for 2 sprays on the neck and 1 spray on each wrist

[@flavin32]

@dracdoc The part about hairloss lol do you normally just spray the top of the head or sides, would it make any difference? Also I'm curious which perfumers did you ask, I think this was one of your best vids yet man congrats :)

[@rayzhong8542]

Very informative and detailed! Nice video. It will be better if you can post a content timestamps in the description or in the comment. That way viewers can get to section they want to watch right away.

[@123PEULH]

"It will taste like shit" Lmao!

[@belgianreaver]

I just started wearing fragrances and already had Le Male but bought my first one for daily wear. I got the Azzaro Chrome, but I'm not really sure where I should apply it. It seems like a light fragrance but still a bit sharper than things like Acqua Di Gio. Would I be good with 1 spray on each side of my neck and 1 on each wrist or would that already be overkill? I apply my Le Male 1 spray in middle of the neck from a distance so it speads and 1 on one of my wrists and put my wrists together.

[@xPyroFreak]

Is it necessary to use scent-free foam for shaving? And does it matter if I use hair styling products that have scent in them or will it kill the smell of my fragrance? Thank you in advance

[@Szymon1987]

Hey Cody. Great video, very helpful, lots of useful info. I agree that perfumes taste awful - several times I kissed a girl in the neck, where she had applied perfumes and it was like... bleee ;) I just have a question about spraying your hair. Personally I don’t do it, because alcohol dries out your hair. It is definitely a good spot to apply perfumes, but IMO you’re just making damage to your hair, so it is not worth it. Don’t you think so?

[@ChunkyBoots]

Spraying your clothes might fade the color of the fabric, as well.

[@Adamwallace5]

How far away from your body should you spray guys/dracdoc? or is it specifically relative to the bottles spritzer?

[@belgianreaver]

Thank you for your answer! Also, I love your watch!

[@chrizles]

it's very easy to overdo it. i suggest one on the head and at most one on each wrist

[@WingMane52]

going to go with shoulder pits and hair for sure. neck or chest with my lighter scents.

[@MorethanGUNZ]

Great video Doc, thanks for putting these out.

[@Adamwallace5]

Okay, thanks for the quick response, keep up the great work man!

[@dracdoc]

@Szymon1987 It shouldn't damage your hair.. remember.. your hair naturally has oil in it.. and the fragrance does as well. It would be different if the volume of alcohol was higher

[@StPieXOraProNobis]

Well, I know that some people will spray one wrist, and then rub it on the other wrist instead of actually spraying both wrists. Or, they'll spray their wrist, rub it on the other, and then rub their wrists against their neck, so I thought you might be referring to something like that, vs. a separate spray on each side. Thanks for clarifying :)

[@rhaybans]

well done Cody. Gave me some good idea.

[@victorscott7982]

Good Morning Doc, I normally spray my fragrances right after a shower, say as soon as I get out. Do you think its a good idea, or what do you recommend me doing to keep the scent life going?

[@kez850]

DAMN!!!! I never thought about the smell from my body wash... awesome tips!

[@miguelramos3787]

What about the beer I use unscented beard oil do you think putting cologne on my beard or Cologne mixing it up with a beard oil and then apply it would work? to?

[@rickysalsero]

Alot of good pointers,, will look into buying the lubriderm moisturizer , thanks for the video,,tk

[@jakeyalmighty]

thank you great advice and nice sweater!

[@kyletehsex]

I recently decided that Versace eros will be my scent for a while. How and where would you personally apply this EDT? Also, when you say that you spray your neck pits, does that mean your hitting each pit with one spray? Or are you applying it to your wrist and rubbing the spray into your neck piys?

[@dracdoc]

kyletehsex I usually spray each "neck pit" when I apply it there. For eros, and this is just me.. I would go about 2-4 sprays now.. one to the chest, head and both wrists. That's just ME though, go with what you feel comfortable with

[@WaylonCarruthers]

Great vid and very nice sweater.

[@malesolomon2490]

Very informative review.. Thanks Dracdoc

[@ijsn]

Nice video, very informative. Thanks! Unfortunately i think i'm alergic to fragrances. If I wear them for like 15 days, my skin starts to itch and i gotta tell you, thats awful... =/ But even that cant put me away because I think i'm addicted to them.. lol Keep up with the good reviews man

[@NathanDuffy725]

Older video but haven't gotten to all your videos yet. I totally get the part of not spraying your clothes. If you do i suggest not spraying alot on your clothes. Your pulse points after you shower are the areas it was mean't for i agree. For a shirt i do wash after i wear it once but if it was a hoodie then i might where a couple times. Plus it's nice smelling your clean clothes and cologne on your skin.

[@tevinthomas3515]

Do you know where I can find the DHI Vintage?

[@Dee--Jay]

i seen on one website that u spray on low places like knees or feet cause scents rises up

[@krazziejrboi]

what moisturizer or bodywash you use now ?

[@ericdanthon2]

What are the benefits of applying a mist versus 2 inches away from the body. What are you trying to accomplish with each method? iIn other words mist compared to concentration.

[@dracdoc]

@flavin32 Ahh.. Eddie (head of Le Labo) and Andy Taur were the two primaries. As for where I spray.. usually the top of the head

[@XslashburnsX]

Very helpful and intresting video, thanks!

[@SonicTheo]

that sweater is killer on you

[@darkhero101010]

what about Dior Homme? I usually do 1 on the chest and 2 on the neck, when i spray it on my wrist i feel it very subtle after about 2 hours, do you think the scent is weak or my nose gets fatigued? because i did like that today and can barley smell it now (around 3 hours after)

[@RobertLaTuso]

I tried spraying on my chest under a crew neck tee shirt with Nasomatto “Duro” and could barely smell the scent throughout the day?! Do I need to wear a open collared button down shirt for the smell to emanate And project from my skin? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

[@Yeet112]

Is it ok to use Dove Mens Charcoal body wash? I use Dior Sauvage Eau De Toilette. I just want to know how to use it correctly while also using Dove Mens Charcoal body wash.

[@rwswac1]

I have a shaved head. Is there a risk of skin irritation when applying directly to my head?

[@dracdoc]

@Burghlax I just do one or two generally

[@SouldjahFromTheNorth]

what is your experience with the following? i have like 35 fragrances and about more than half of them are on the sweeter side. it's weared that i got most compliments with sweeter scents, like rochas, le male, la nuit and so on... but most women i asked told me that sweet scents don't fit my look, it turns me too metrosexual, almost a bit gay. but this changes rapidly on fresh scents. it makes me look more maskulin. they said that it is a knock of if an athletic man smells sweet. what u think?

[@AstrologyGames]

What about fragrance oils? How should I apply it?

[@TheCameltotem]

Whats your take on deodorant with an scent? Is it really bad to mix that with an perfume? Should i get an scent free deodorant?
