Whenever you spritz on your favorite scent, you often ask, Am I putting on too much or too little?’
If you lavish yourself with a scent from head to toes, you could overwhelm another person's senses that can lead the person wanting to stay a mile from you than closer. Only to realize a few minutes after, the scent fell off straight from your skin and dissipated into the thin air.
On the other hand, when you spray on too little, you might as well not dig deep into your pocket for an expensive cologne because not even a fly could smell you even if it was stuck to your skin. And please, don’t spray mist the air and walk through it like a royal. There are air fresheners for that.
We are all too familiar that our ‘heart palpitates’ when we get too excited or had too much coffee. But did you know that this pulsation radiates all over your body but palpitates strongly on your specific body sites?
These are your pulse points. Leveraging these arterial pulsations could make your scent last longer without breaking your bank. Now, where are these magical points that maximize the potency of your cologne?
You have 5 main body parts where your arteries are compressed near your body surface that allow you to palpate or feel your pulse:
On top of those mentioned above, there are other pulse points in your body that you could likewise leverage to maximize the effect when you put on your favorite cologne:
Dabbing your cologne on these strategic points allows the cologne’s fragrance to reach the height of its scent and make it last longer. You might ask, ‘Can I put on cologne on ALL pulse points?’ Of course, you can – if you wish to go back to your first dilemma of overwhelming another’s nose.
My two cents – choose two or three of the points mentioned and don’t be too liberal on the amount. The right amount of cologne on an effective part of your body would be enticing enough to make someone’s head turn just to catch a sniff of you.
Are the amount and application points the only factors that you should know to maximize the effect of your cologne? No, there are other factors at play.
Skin type – If you have oily skin, hold your head up high because colognes would last longer on you.
Colognes behave differently among people. What could smell great on you may not necessarily hold true with another. Now that you’ve ‘mastered’ the art of making your cologne’s scent last longer on you, pay attention to what scent suits you best.
It’s pretty much akin to finding the right outfit for the right occasion. You wouldn’t want to attend a pool party wearing a business suit, would you? Experiment on various colognes.
Remember that since you’ve learned to let the scent linger, a cologne that doesn’t jive with your own body scent could be worse than overwhelming another’s sense of smell. Colognes are also first-impression makers, so whether you wear one to impress or simply feel good by smelling good, make sure that you choose well.
As parting words, colognes aren’t like party people. A dab on the right place would be enough to make another turn 180 degrees when you pass by.
