Basic fragrances application question

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Hi, I have some questions regarding the way to apply fragrances.


Do you spray each individual spray in different skin parts or Do you overlap or stack sprays sometime? If so do you find that overlaying change the way the fragrance develop or the lasting power?

Is it me or applying the same fragrance from a sprayer versus applying it with your hand from a bottle or vial without a sprayer change a little bit the way it smells?

Cause having use a same fragrance with a spray and spray-less like john varvatos or GIT it seems that using different application technique was changing a lil bit the way it was developping so I was curious about this.

Yes you're absolutely right. Twice in the same place (especially after some delay) will use the previously sprayed oil as more base and will project/last a little longer. then again you are spraying twice haha.
I usually spray on the two pulse points on my neck on each side; then wrists if necessary.

I don't actually own any weak fragrances but if I did I'd imagine overlapping sprays would be a bad idea.

When you spray a fragrance you experience intenser and longer top notes, then when you dab, so yeah, there is a difference...
