My usual fragrance of choice tends to be strong and long lasting, like John Varvatos or Burberry London, however since it's gotten towards spring / summer, I picked up a few samples of fresh aquatics to wear, most notably True Religion and Bvlgari Aqua. I absolutely LOVED True Religion, so I got a bottle of it, however I've noticed that it often doesn't last very long with just one spray to each wrist or backhand. I have fairly dry skin, which tends to exacerbate the problem, however the fragrance is still short lived to begin with.
I've always followed the "no more than 3 sprays" rule, but that's usually because I wear heavier fragrances as noted above. Would it be overkill to bend that in the case of a spring / summer fragrance like this? I've tried spraying two sprays on each wrist in my own privacy and I've noticed that it seems to last much, much longer on me, however I'm not sure how that would be perceived by others - we all know how that can be.
TLDR: Is 5 sprays (two on each wrist, one on the neck / chest) too much for a short-lived fresh aquatic like True Religion? Or will that not be overkill?
