Sometimes it has nothing to do with the amount of frag.
I can wear quite a bit of Creed Imperial with almost no sillage. While only a couple of squirts of Heritage or BdP leaves a visable trail around my building at work (kind of like in an old Warner Brothers cartoon where the fumes comming off of a boiling pot of food will become a hand and pull Bugs Bunny toward it).

Yes, it depends onthe frag too. I only have 4 fragrances at the moment and none of them are powerful enough to give sillage if I use them without applying too much. One of the problems is that fragrances that are powerful enough to leave sillage by normal use will almost certainly cause me a headache too. So I usually just pick fragrances that aren't too powerful. Egoiste/E Platinum and Live Jazz are some of the ones that seem to last forever on me and with a lot of sillage but they also hit my head like a hammer. I don't really know why.[/quote]
With scents like these you have to use a different method of application. If you want to avoid getting a headache, then try spraying your chest before putting on a shirt. Also spray the back of your neck so when you walk, you leave a trail without the scent aromatizing to your own nose. This one is a good sillage tip.
