A good cologne should accomplish more than just making you smell nice, it’s about leaving a lasting memory in the room around you that reminds others of who you are. But even the greatest fragrance can fall flat if you’re not using it properly. Too much cologne will wreathe people near you, while too little vanishes fast.
Whether you fancy the superior fragrances of Tobacco Cologne, Jazz Night Cologne, Vasso Eau De Cologne, River Side Oriental Cologne, Eau De Cologne Black Fig or City Light Colonge Woody Essence observing it’s use etiquette ensures the maximum amount of wear from each and every bottle.
How Much Cologne Should You Use?
Less is more, the golden rule of fragrance.
Good fragrances — and especially good ones like Tobacco Cologne or Jazz Night Cologne that last a long time — naturally project. It’s possible to overdo it and spoil the effect.
✔ Ideal number of sprays:
-
2–4 sprays for daily use
-
5 sprays max for nights out
-
1–2 sprays for office/meetings
When using rich scents like Eau De Cologne Black Fig or City Light Cologne Woody Essence, you’ll need to spray one less than normal and with lighter scents like Vasso Eau De Cologne perhaps one extra can be sprayed.
Where to Apply Cologne for Maximum Sillage
Boss Cologne Best for: Pulse points, or wherever heat radiates from your body to release fragrance.
✔ Best spots to apply:
-
Neck (sides)
-
Behind the ears
-
Chest
-
Wrist (do not rub)
For heavier scents such as Tobacco Cologne or Jazz Night Cologne, it’s neck + chest.
Rist or behind the ears should work fine for light daytime scents such as River Side Oriental Cologne or Vasso Eau De Cologne.
❌ Avoid:
-
Spraying on clothes
-
Rubbing wrists together
When Should You Apply Cologne?
Even the latter may vary in terms of olfactory development and duration, influenced by timing.
✔ Best moments to apply:
-
Right after a shower
-
Before stepping out
-
Before dates or social events
-
