Very much depends on what fragrance for me. I don't have the luxury of a PA ( ) but my colleagues will let me know if they like what I'm wearing. I'm yet to receive any negative comments about scent strength and that is even with some powerhouses liberally sprayed. The amount sprayed also depends on whether I'm in my usual office/lab or in HQ as the latter I'm around people more. Type of scent varies from HQ to lab/office too, or if I'm around family/friends on weekend. I'm more inclined to trial the more challenging fragrances I own on weekends, especially if I know I'm not going to be around others.Paul saying that he tends to be a little heavy handed when applying a scent got me thinking. How do you gents go about it? It can be quite tricky I find. I'm usually very restrained and go for between 2 and 4 squirts for the office, depending on the fragrance. My PA reprimands me if I'm too heavy handed. Maybe a little more at weekends, particularly if its a citrus based scent. Any thoughts?
I started off with 2-4 but I've noticed, as time has progressed, I'm opting for more sprays, say 4-6. Furthermore, with the AdP Colonia line (e.g.) I sometimes go even more as I know it'll fade quickly enough. On weekends I'll go for more sprays as I know it's easier for me to wash than during work so over-spraying is easily rectified. Plus my weekend is for me, smell 'n' all!
