How you apply a fragrance matters as much as which one you choose. The right routine changes everything — from how long it lasts to how people experience it around you.

2 sprays · Light & fresh only

One spray on each wrist
Two sprays around the collarbone

If a fragrance lasts under six hours, overspray intentionally
10–13 sprays is perfectly fine — it will fade quickly regardless

The Golden Rule
There's no rigid formula — the only real rule is to consider the people around you. Not everyone enjoys strong fragrance. Read the room, read the setting, and adjust accordingly.
