At your best, how many different scents have you worn in a day?

...And I mean worn, no tests or something like that...

You may have changed the scent after shower, or just sprayed something new after the previous scent has lost it`s sillage...

My record is three, which happens in every now and then. (first scent early in the morning, second scent after midday showering, and the third one after evening shower to be worn in out/bed.)

I have worn three in one day, but this only happens once in a while.

I've done 7 scents in a day, start off with one before the shower, one to work, one or two, even three if there's something new in the mail (small spritzes to the wrist to test, washing 'em off inbetween), one after showering after I get home, and one for bed.

As in really wearing, 3-4.

As in sampling, probably up to 8 or something like that. You know, when literally every spot on your arms is occupied.

Two scents. One in the morning and another after shower at the gym.

3-4 daily ; all over after the shower in the AM, re-spray when I get home, and then all over again after another after-walk shower plus a spray or two as new ones arrive at work. Waiting on four right now after receiving Obsession just now from a trade.

I've done something like 7, but it was primarily because it was a hot day and I just sweated off anything I wore.

It's always a test!

Even if I wear just one, I try to observe and detect nuances and try to refine my opinions of the scent. I seldom change to a different fragrance later in the day, unless the morning one is atrocious.

I did have a time, when I was awash in samples that I had not tried, wherein I would wear a different fragrance on each arm, so I could observe them and compare and contrast as well. This was ok for me, but if I got a compliment and someone asked what I was wearing, then I was in a predicament as most people would think wearing fragrances that way a bit odd.

The most worn in a day at all? Let me see...21. I'd wear something on my body after showering then planning a day of testing, there would be about 20 distinct testable place within nasal reach: 2 backs of hand, two distal dorsal forearms, two proximal dorsal forearms, two proximal anterior forearms, two distal anterior forearms, and ten fingers. Keep your distance from me on days of major testing is all I can say.

3.

I wore 4711 to wake me up. Showered and wore Pino Silvestre for the day. Showered again, went to a party later and wore Givenchy Very Irresistable.

2 at the max, you should never be wearing more because you wouldn't even have time to let the scent develop before putting another one on

Probably three. Recently I started the day wearing Millesime Imperial, got home, bathed, and debated between John Varvatos and testing Lolita Limpicka. The Lolita won out but after about an hour it reminded me of how much I hate the smell of anise on its own. I had to wash it off. After that misadventure I decided to settle in with some Acier Aluminum and get some rest.

Wore 5:

one day some time ago:
early in the moring to go to the gym: 4711
later on i showered and used eau de lalique for running/hiking.
later on i showered and went to my workplace for a while to check things out: wore Égoïste Platinum.
In the afternoon i wanted to change and wore A*Men over EP.
later on i had to go to an "opening" of a new vodka drink and thought that A*men was too much so i showered again ( !) and wore Égoïste.

that was it i think!
