Mid Day Fragrance Change

post #1 of 14

There must be others like myself that spray a different fragrance after lunch? What are the rules so I don't spray two frags that are battling for nasal supremacy.

If timing matters I spray my first at 6:30 am then again after lunch around 12:30 pm.

The rules are only the ones you make.

I am going to spray another scent when the 1st one dry down to skin scent so I do not have the risk of blending the scents.

Each perfume has different longevity before it turns to skin scent.

Well, unless you are planning on washing off the 1st scent, I would suggest you just wear something in the morning that doesnt have hat great of longevity (Clinique Happy, D&G The One, etc), then go with a powerhouse as your second fragrance.

I wear one scent in the morning and in the afternoon, after working out and showering, I use a different scent.

Wash your neck and change your shirt and hope the previous scent doesn't rise like a Phoenix.

I'll admit i was probably overdoing it. had on Aventus in the morning. Left office on motorcycle for afternoon appointment. Figured the air helped reduce the Aventus bomb and spritzed Memoir Man from a decant to enjoy the incense on commute home. It was an epic frag battle. :-)

I work in the mornings and then go straight to school after. So if I'm planning on wearing something different to school, I'll only apply the first application on the inside of my forearms. Just a spray or two to each side. Then it's easy for me to wash it off before applying another scent for school. It seems to work petty good for me.

I've been known to put a different one on later in the day. But more than just a few hours apart. Like, I'll put one on at 6 am. Then by the time I get home at 4 pm or so, if I am quite certain the original frag has disappeared, I'll spritz a bit of another for my evening at home.

I spray one lighter, less longevous fragrance in the morning and another one in the evening. I try for them to be related in character (floral, oriental, resinous, etc.).
