Hello guys and gals! I'm new to the forum and this is my first post. Now I have a situation, and I'm hoping maybe someone could help me solve this problem. Anyway here it is:
For some reason cologne just doesn't last on my skin. Most of my colognes will only last 2 hours TOPS and some seem to go away within the first hour. Here is what i have:
burberry brit/touch ~1 hour then close to skin
ysl l'homme ~ 1 hour then close to skin
pure malt. ~ right now: 1-4 hours (which is weird because I have a dress shirt that still has the smell on if from months ago. Fabric? Cologne lost potency?)
My skin type, i believe, would classify as normal to slightly dry with it being not being overly oily or flaky.
I have tried applying it to chest, hair, wrists and shirt - same deal
Now i am aware of of olfactory fatigue, but i don't think this is the case. I almost never get any acknowledgment of my cologne, good or bad.
I have always kept the colognes in an AC room and away from sunlight. Although they are right by my light which im not sure how the light from a lamp will affect them. I have had the cologne for about 2 years.
Has anyone been faced with this problem and overcame it?? I'm not sure if its my skin chemistry, skin temperature, diet. I heard about using Vaseline or baby oil. Has anyone tried this? By the way, I'm in FL in case the ambient temperature was a factor. Sorry its kinda long, wanted to give the most info.
As you can imagine this is so damn frustrating. I love my cologne, but it don't love me!
