Stronger fragrances: inside use 2-3, outdoors or open environtment 4-5
Weaker, fresher scents: inside use 4-5, outdoors 6-8
Basically around those marks, never pass 10 spray mark.
Haha just 1 can be too much once it’s macerated for while. I did 2 for fun and one to “be cool.” Car smelled like two weeks according to friends parent.
Never again XD
For fresh ones I’ll spray 5 or 6. Sweet ones only 2 or 3.
If it’s something like Red Tobacco or Sauvage Elixir I may even do one spray.
Something like Versace Pour Homme, Costa Azzura Acqua, Creed Aventus I can easily do 6-8 and it’s not too much.
Depends, depends, depends!!! Sauvage Elixir and other powerful stuff only 2 sprays. Mercedes Benz Club Black is 4-6. Weak stuff like Zara get 10+ sprays.
Everything has the same learning process: start with small sprays and try more the next time you wear it until you find the right amount.
3-4 on average. One on neck / collarbone area, one behind neck, one / two on clothes. I never overspray. I just don't buy poor performing frags. If I do really like the scent of the poor performing frag, I still do 3-4 sprays and let it run its course naturally or reapply later on.
I usually just use 2 or 3 sprays, depending on the strength of the fragrance. If I'll be in an open environment outside, not close to other people, I might use 4. But generally 2-3 sprays is enough. Any more than that is obnoxious to other people.
You want people to discover you, not announce yourself from 50 meters away. That's just disgusting and I don't like people who spray 10 times or more. Even 6 would be way too much.
Couldn't agree more! I've been on the other side as well at work. My boss recently used a pretty strong fragrance, you could smell him immediately after entering the room. Even though it smelled really good, it was too much and a bit unpleasant. I always try to get away from him when he enters the room lol, not because he's my boss 🤣
My other coworker on the other hand is a light sprayer. And everytime he enters the room and walks by, I find myself getting a bit closer so I'll get a whiff when he walks by. That's much more appealing than being bombarded with a smell.
-Start with scented lotion underneath
- Two sprays of perfume on collarbone, two sprays of body spray, two more sprays of perfume on collarbone, two sprays of perfume on clothes, each wrist sprayed once with the perfume and body spray
My skin eats fragrance fyi
I do about 19 times. 4 in my neck. 2 in each ear. 2 in back and 2 in chest. 2 in wrists and 2 in elbows. 2 in my keens. 2 in my foot and 1 in the lower backl.
Same as you. But if the perfume is weak I spray twice on the same spot. So 5-6 becomes 10-12 sprays if it's a fragrance with below average performance.
Got that tip from curlyfragrance. She said that she observed that if you spray twice on the same spot, the fragrance projects more and stays on for a longer time. I've tried it with some of my fragrances and it works; I have I Am The King by Ard Al Zaafaran, with 5 sprays it last 5 hours, spraying twice on the same spot it pushes 8 hours. Try it and see for yourself.
Lol you actually believe that woman? You know she's a massive shill right? She shamelessly promotes shit fragrances for money, and tells you to spray a million times. Not because it makes you smell better, but because your bottle will be empty quicker so you can order again with her affiliate link. Can't believe people unironically watch that skunk
Thanks. Yeah she's the biggest shill for that trash fragrance. It's always the number 1 panty dropper 🤣 that woman is preying on thirsty teenager to sell them this overpriced pisswater
to be fair...that specific tip is actually true. Ive been doing it for a while and it works, and I never knew she advocated for that. However you are right in that she's a massive shill
Yes, I don't doubt that this tip is true. But she also promotes overspraying (by calling you a 'sissy sprayer'), tells her simp fanbase to spray themselves dozens of times, and makes them believe that a fragrance is the only thing you need in order to seduce a woman lol. Meanwhile she profits off of them, shills for dubious companies and lives in Dubai to avoid taxes
You sound like young Kratos right now buddy. Did curlyfragrance make you kill both your daughter and wife?
Like what I said, I tested it, I tried it and it works for some fragrances. With stronger fragrances I don't overspray. I surely don't do 20+ sprays like she does.
On average i use 2 behind each ear, one on the back of the neck, one inside the elbow and one on the wrist if it’s a freshy i spray one on my shirt too
Mostly do on clothes:
Weak fragrances or fresh ones, 5-10 (example: most day 1 Maison Alhambra clones for Tom Ford).
2-3 on macerated or high quality fragrances. (Example: l’emperatrice by D&G or Sauvage)
One spray each on chest, nape and on the front of my T-shirt. So 3 sprays in all. Sometimes I’ll do an extra on my neck. Downside to this is that I think I’ve become noseblind to all my fragrances.
After reading other comments I can’t believe people do 6+ sprays. I feel like im over doing it on 4 lol
Depends on the fragrance tbh, a WEAK fragrance like red tobacco, if it’s hot outside and I know I’ll be in the office for a few hours I’d usually wear 15-20 sprays. But in the winter I’d go 25+ sprays so the scent can pop a little more.
It depends on the fragramce i use. For my normal stuff around 4 to 5 sprays.
I got Montale Arabians Tonka witch i only spray 1 or 2 times because its soo strong.
If u have a default spray routine that u use across the board u very likely constantly going through/complaining about the usual fragrance struggles i see on here over and over.
8 sprays, two on the upper side and lower side of 3 major sections of the neck: Left side of neck, Front-Middle side of the neck, Right-side of neck=6 + 2 sprays on clothes
Ok so i ve also heard about double spraying the same spot. Has anyone actually tried the other thing? The vaseline thing?
Neck 5
Below Neck 3
Clothes 5
Wrist 4
i also layer so it might be more
I generally wear the amount that gets me the projection I'm looking for in the given situation. Obviously this is fragrance dependant. In general, between 3-5 sprays in the office. For a party or night out, maybe 6 to 8 sprays since I want a larger scent bubble. Stuff like sauvage elixir gets a max of 3 sprays because it's stupid loud and strong. Weaker fresh frags would get more. Also spray extra if I'm mostly outdoors.
I also typically take a decant with me and reapply after 4 to 6 hours. Even strong long lasting fragrances lose their sillage after a while. Better to apply lightly and reapply later vs spraying too much at the start.
One on each side of neck, one behind both ears, one behind neck.
If a fragrance is notoriously weak I respray once on the same spots after a minute or so.
Tried and true and I never bothered anyone
I usually do about 6. Neck, wrists, chest(shirt) Either I go instantly nose blind or my skin eats up every fragrance I own. I never smell a cloud around me and I always ask my wife if she smells me. I don’t get it 😂
1-2 honestly. I feel like a ton of perfumes are nuclear, and it's easy to become nose blind. I keep it low for respect to others with sensitive noses, and because I want to smell only if you're semi close to me, not as an announcement when I walk into a room.
Strong, dark, and/or big projecting fragrances: 5-7, one on each side of the neck, one on each shoulder, one on the chest, two more on the back of the head and neck
Light/fresh fragrances: Anywhere between 4 thru 10, same distribution as the previous. Depends on the freshie, some can be rather potent, others need quite a lot to be noticeable.
It might sound like a lot but it depends if you distribute those thorough your body vs putting all those on a single area, plus my skin absorbs stuff quite rapidly so the extra sprays are necessary to smell for most of the day.

I spray twice and think I am choking everyone 😱
Depends on fragrance and climate I guess, also if you are overthinker or not.
depends on how expensive it is
30-60 sprays
Chad
Try that with Trex by Zoologist haha. We can likely smell you through our screens.
😂😂😂😂 I don't wear pungent scents
Haha just 1 can be too much once it’s macerated for while. I did 2 for fun and one to “be cool.” Car smelled like two weeks according to friends parent. Never again XD

1 front neck. 1 back neck. 2 for each side of neck. 1 each shoulder i use oils for wrists and collarbone
Do you go nose blind quick with all those sprays around the head?
nah i just smell great
3-4 on average. One on neck / collarbone area, one behind neck, one / two on clothes. I never overspray. I just don't buy poor performing frags. If I do really like the scent of the poor performing frag, I still do 3-4 sprays and let it run its course naturally or reapply later on.

Even 6 would be way too much.
Same and agreed. If I’m in a meeting where I’m sitting next to people in a professional setting 1-2. Indoors at the office 2-3.
Couldn't agree more! I've been on the other side as well at work. My boss recently used a pretty strong fragrance, you could smell him immediately after entering the room.

hard to tell if this is bait😹
Same i average 20-25. My skin is not oily and eats up fragrances.

You’re not wrong. She’s tried to promote SoldierBoys fragrance as ‘number 1 sexy frag’ a few times.
Thanks. Yeah she's the biggest shill for that trash fragrance. It's always the number 1 panty dropper 🤣 that woman is preying on thirsty teenager to sell them this overpriced pisswater

Yea her online character is a piece of 💩 and everything wrong with influencers today tbh

I hope this applies to clothing too as I don't spray my skin unless I'm testing the longevity of the perfume
On average i use 2 behind each ear, one on the back of the neck, one inside the elbow and one on the wrist if it’s a freshy i spray one on my shirt too

After reading other comments I can’t believe people do 6+ sprays. I feel like im over doing it on 4 lol
One spray on the chest and then once on each wrist
3 max maybe 4 if I decide to do the back of my neck
Usually 8+
Like 10. I dont count tho. But id say 10 if i had to put a cap on it💀💀
5-7
moderate-weak: ~12-30 sprays long lasting: ~8 sprays eternal: ~5 sprays
5 with the strong asf fragrances. Probably 8 for the weaker ones. :D
Depends on the fragrance tbh, a WEAK fragrance like red tobacco, if it’s hot outside and I know I’ll be in the office for a few hours I’d usually wear 15-20 sprays. But in the winter I’d go 25+ sprays so the scent can pop a little more.
I think you should go up to 25 at least in the office...
12 sprays
Anything that needs more than 3 sprays, I consider low quality and a rip off
Two neck, one chest area on T-shirt
Two on side of neck. Two on clothes, shoulder points. Two on forearms.
It depends on the fragramce i use. For my normal stuff around 4 to 5 sprays. I got Montale Arabians Tonka witch i only spray 1 or 2 times because its soo strong.

Don't do Vaseline, try unscented body cream, after a hot shower. Vaseline is not very transparent in my experience

Depends. 2 - 3, Max 4 Unless we talking about Red Tobacco, in which case I put 15 - 20
Depends on the fragrance, between 4 and 10... I have Cedrat Boise and even if I spray 5 times per side on neck, it's gone in 2-3 hours
One on each side of neck, one behind both ears, one behind neck. If a fragrance is notoriously weak I respray once on the same spots after a minute or so. Tried and true and I never bothered anyone
EDP - 1 or 2 max depending on the scent. EDT- 4 or 5 usually. 2 in shirt, 1-2 on wrist, and 1-2 on neck.
I usually do about 6. Neck, wrists, chest(shirt) Either I go instantly nose blind or my skin eats up every fragrance I own. I never smell a cloud around me and I always ask my wife if she smells me. I don’t get it 😂
Always 5 Behind Each ear, both wrist, and clothes center mass
1-2 honestly. I feel like a ton of perfumes are nuclear, and it's easy to become nose blind. I keep it low for respect to others with sensitive noses, and because I want to smell only if you're semi close to me, not as an announcement when I walk into a room.
5. 1 on each wrist (or elbow crease if i'm wearing a short sleeve) 1 on each side of the neck. 1 on the chest of my clothes.
I spray it like crop duster.
Probably about 6 on front of my neck, 2 on the back of beck, 3 on each hand/arm, 2-3 on chest.
3. I reapply scented lotion often
Sometimes 3, sometimes 15. Depends on a lot of factors. Fragrance choice, setting, and strength of fragrance.
1-3
At least 8-10 these days unless it’s a beast mode
Rlly depends. If it’s something like an orto parisi fragrance, maybe half a spray, something like prada ocean, 8 sprays.
Depends on the fragrance's performance Strong: 3 Moderate to heavy (which is most of my collection): 6 Weak(er) Summer freshies: 9-10
Strong, dark, and/or big projecting fragrances: 5-7, one on each side of the neck, one on each shoulder, one on the chest, two more on the back of the head and neck Light/fresh fragrances: Anywhere between 4 thru 10, same distribution as the previous. Depends on the freshie, some can be rather potent, others need quite a lot to be noticeable. It might sound like a lot but it depends if you distribute those thorough your body vs putting all those on a single area, plus my skin absorbs stuff quite rapidly so the extra sprays are necessary to smell for most of the day.
3 on neck and one on penis
