How to Apply Men's Cologne
OK, now that you’ve got your signature scent and are ready to spritz your way to smelling amazing, here’s how to get that perfect, understated application so that people will be pleasantly surprised when they get close to you. As you read please consider any men’s cologne samples you may be needing. If you have made a purchase already, thank you!
Apply cologne to clean, dry skin. The best time to apply your men’s cologne sample is when you’re fresh out of the shower and fully dry but you haven’t gotten dressed yet. You don’t want to spray any cologne on your clothes because the oils in the cologne can actually damage your clothes and coat your jewelry in a film. And, whatever you do, don’t use cologne to mask your smelly B.O. It’ll only make things worse.
Target your pulse points – If you want to know how to apply men’s cologne you’ll first want to: spray cologne between three and six inches away from the skin on your pulse points, such as the inner wrist, chest and neck. Some will disagree and say to avoid the wrist. Ultimately it comes down to what you’re wearing (long sleeve short or short) and what you’re doing (at work, the gym, the club, etc.) Pulse points are the warmer spots on the body where the blood flows, so they’re going to mix with your natural scent and project the cologne better.
Don’t go overboard – We can’t overstate this one enough. As far as how to apply men’s cologne, don’t go overboard spraying it on. Keep a travel size vial on hand and reapply as needed (see the next paragraph). One or two spritzes is generally enough, especially with a high-quality EDP cologne. The last thing you’d want is for people to wince when you walk by.
Refresh as necessary – Even with more concentrated fragrances, the strength of the aroma will fade slightly throughout the day. If you have a long day or are going from work to play, toss a refillable cologne bottle in your glove box or briefcase so you can freshen up after the initial spray has faded. Remember, we offer a vast (and ever growing) array of travel size cologne samples. Visit our home page for more details or contact us today with any questions.
