As a former fragrance manager their are very few fragrance reviewers I find that I respect and this man is by far my favorite he is always impressing me with his class fragrance choices. He does recommend some synthetics but it's mostly just class fragrances.
Thanks Bow tie fragrance guy. Good tips. I like the 3,5,7 rule and the lotion you referred. I also put a little Vaseline on my pulse points. I find that the Vaseline traps the fragrance and gives it longevity. Keep doing your thing and I will catch you on the flip side Lol
I appreciate your reviews especially about your personal hygiene routine, what is cool is the fragrances you review are not typical fragrances, and they cost some coins too, you make me proud as a black woman to see your level of sophistication, and class. Great job, dynamic blessings to you and your family.
For heavy frags, I’d never spray on my neck. It’s just too much, too close to my nose. I recommend men not shave their bodies like a naked mole rat, and utilize that god-given chest hair. I also quit spraying my wrists in favor of my forearms. My wrists get washed along with my hands throughout the day, so it’s a waste. Great vid, man!
Mr. Bow Tie Fragrance man, Thank you. You have an excellent presentation. I became a new Subscriber today & I am looking forward to your upcoming videos. I have not purchased very many bottles of men's cologne. However, this evening I went to our shopping mall & picked up a bottle of Creed Millesime Imperial after seeing your review. I'm looking forward to trying it out tomorrow. I appreciate your channel and will see many more of your videos. Blessed Day🙏
I follow that spray regiment, though I spray on the inside of my elbows instead of my wrists, and if I just shaved, then I’ll spray the bare skin behind each ear instead of the sides of my neck , so I’m not irritating freshly shaved skin with alcohol.
Very good presentation. I would love to see a video dedicated to other 3, 5 and 7 fragrances to compare with how I and others view them. Well done sir. P
I've been trying to get this right for a while. As a young man the old heads taught us less is better. But with EDT vs EDP its hard to get it right. I just ordered my first extrait (we'll see). Most EDPs I only need 2/3 sprays. But you hit it with the wrist, I'm going to have to go back to that.
Real shit !! I'm like 10 sprays with Armaf intense man.... It's the Feb 2019 made in France batch so it gets weak fast but that first half hour I'm blasting fools with this !! 🤣🤣
Bruh when he said you don’t wanna be wearing dior sauvage and mixing it with coco butter I was like shit that’s i be doing. Lol I’m been messing up this whole time. Glad I found this! Thanks brother!
I always spray kinda heavy (except for the few beasts I own), but that's due to how my skin is with fragrance. I've only ever over sprayed twice in my years of fragrance use. Great video, sir! Keep up the amazing content
Hehe! With fragrances like Versace Man eau fraiche, Boss bottled Tonic and Dior homme cologne I go 15-20 sprays easy. They wont bother anybody anyway. You’ll just smell good.😎💨💨💨💨💨 But great video man! I agree on the rest.👍
Great content!!! Appreciate you breaking it down!! Thats wassup! Never realized the art of applying...but def will take the tips to heart. As always putting us up on game to help us to keep smelling amazing!! Good looking out!
In the spirit of using your fragrance hack I was able to find lotion that complimented the scent I was wearing. That way after the dry down, you still catch a hint of vanilla or almond lingering.
What is the best spray distance for projection? When spraying fragrances on skin, especially the wrist, I usually spray 6 inches and the fragrance usually leaves an oily film on the skin (Most of my fragrances are EDP or Parfum concentrations). After the top notes dissipate, the fragrance feels muted and doesn’t project as well. Does Having oily skin help with longevity, but hamper projection? How can I apply EDP and Parfum fragrances with improved projection?
Right on brother i am def going to start using this system tomorrow .. I know this info must seem pretty straight foreward but it is good to kbow that i was doin simething similar .. Thank you again
im kinda new to fragrances and i only have eros and dylan blue so far, i have a women coming over to chill or get intimate, is 1 spray of eros in the neck enough or should i spray more? or even go for the dylan blue?
@@rrrrr____ Good Question. I would spray 2 on the chest before you put on a shirt. Once you put the shirt on, then 1 spray on the neck. Do that 30 minutes before she gets there and you good.
@@tyreebranch isnt 3 sprays of Eros a bit overkill if im gonna get intimate with her? ive heard alot of people say Eros is pretty strong. I'm gonna be wearing Dylan Blue daily to work and i work in an office, im thinking 2 sprays behind the ear and 1 on the back of my neck is that good? sorry if im asking alot i just dont wanna be that guy that gasses the room lol
@@tyreebranch aight thanks will do, what about dylan blue? im going to use it daily and i work in an office, im thinking 2 behind the ears and the 3rd one back of the neck or on my chest what do you recommend?
Damn I think I’m an oversprayer and I don’t remember ever going over 5 or 6 ,, I’ve choked myself out with a strong scent bubble ( which also makes me a little self conscious, are others being choked out , messing up their meal ?… lol ) Yesterday I wore PDM Pegasus for first time , think I did 3 sprays around neck and one on chest , Had to drive 2 hours .. My poor wife , That first hour it smelled to me like high end bug spray ,, Hours later on the drive home it smelled really nice .. I never do the wrist , so maybe that is why ? I think I’ll try your method
Great video. Only complaint is Sauvage. It smells good but does NOT last longer than 2 hours or so. I have tested all 3 types and none of them have decent longevity "for the money."
My guy. Good video. Question. I have a variety of fragrances.... so how would I know about the oil levels to know 3-5-7? Know you mentioned all EDTs are 7
I don't like spraying anything on my wrists because once I wash my hands, the scent fades/disappears. If I have to spray on my arm, I spray in the connecting area between forearm and upper arm (antecubital fossa) which is also right by a pulse point and not going to get hit with water.
Yeah I totally see where you’re coming from, if only use it for more of a calm, vanilla kind of cologne rather than with a fresh smelling cologne because even though shea butter smelled good, it doesn’t smell fresh which will ruin the fresh scent. But it only matters how you like to wear your cologne
Bow, what are the soaps you would recommend? I don’t like to use scented body washes but I do want to know the best that you feel are the best. Looking at not having the cologne and body washes clashing. Great content My G ✊🏾
Thank you for the info. It looks like you love those pulse on your. I have always thought the back of the ear was the ideal place. What is so special about those particular pulse on the hand?
What would you say about top of the wrist instead of pulse point on the wrist? That way you’re not rubbing the places you applied if you work on a computer or something like that? I heard rubbing can ruin the breakdown of the fragrance and make performance decrease and muddle the notes
Whats up Darien! Question...I own 4 Creed scents...Aventus, Milliseme Imperial, Silver Mountain Water, & Virgin Island Water. Does these scents fall under the 3, 5, or 7 category? And also sometimes I may mix 2 of these such as Aventus & Silver Mountain Water or Silver Mountain Water & Virgin Island Water...does this change their category when I do this?
Because that lotion helps keep the skin hydrated so the fragrance does not get eaten up by the skin quickly, like it would on dry skin that lacks moisture for hydration. The lotion also creates another barrier between the skin and sprayed fragrance to help slow it down from being burned off by body heat quickly
As a former fragrance manager their are very few fragrance reviewers I find that I respect and this man is by far my favorite he is always impressing me with his class fragrance choices. He does recommend some synthetics but it's mostly just class fragrances.
I sprayed 1 in my nose so I can smell it longer, and 3 on my briefs so when I pass gas you get those deep citrus high notes from my trail.
🤣🤣💀
Childish answer but funny, hats off to you my friend.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Somebody issss stooooopid🤣🤣🤣🤣

I never heard of renew lotion before. I am so glad you told your male comrades to take a Shower!!

Thank you so much for this because i'm a over sprayer but this really makes sense, I'm always choking out on my fragrances lol
TheCherysTv lol 👌🏾
The most calming frag channel ever. Like the Soul Train of fragrance. Love it.

Ive been dealing with alot and recently trying to change my life around. This video helps a lot. Thanks.
I like that 3-5-7 rule! Most of everything comes in 3/5/7
I once did 20 sprays of prada l'home and it was kinda disgusting thought i will vomit🤣
never again
Try whipped shea butter unscented instead of lotion

This was a good video I always tell my husband that he is not doing enough sprays so this will be great info for him Thanks for your help. 👍🏾😊

I blind bought the Bulgari BLV because of you, thanks! It's good!
If you spray on your neck you get nose blind so always spray behind your ears and mainly on clothes. Ali from Uk
Always start with a fresh shower and moisturize....Solid advice ........
Great content!!! Appreciate you breaking it down!! Thats wassup! Never realized the art of applying...but def will take the tips to heart. As always putting us up on game to help us to keep smelling amazing!! Good looking out!
I learned that from personal hygiene class.always take a shower before u apply cologne or body sprays.
In the spirit of using your fragrance hack I was able to find lotion that complimented the scent I was wearing. That way after the dry down, you still catch a hint of vanilla or almond lingering.
Thanks it was very detailed and professional. Now we can all smell good🥳😎
Personally I would never go above 5 sprays if even but I guess that depends on the occasion
Problem with spraying your clothes is that, if you re-wear a shirt/jacket, you best match it to the perfume you initially sprayed on it. 😕
I'm more of a 7-11-15 spray guy myself 🤣🤣
what in the fuck
I felt like 7 was too much, that's your low xD
@@benwolf5264 7 is way to low man,,I’m in the 12-20 sprays and when I’m asked I tell them I got good skin lol that I only do 5 sprays they buy it 😂😂
I spray behind my ear the neck sprays my chest the wrist and then ankles
I spray the palms and give the neck a slight rub , done . Thanks for the video Sir .
Black afgano is one of those fragrances you can get away with spraying 1 or 2 times tops since it’s super strong
Nassomatto makes good parfum

You are saying the right stuff.u should always take a nice shower before you apply cologne or body sprays.
Thanks for the tip I’m definitely going to try out some of that lotion you’re the man 👍🏽🔥🎩🌂
You can get away with over spraying Millesime Imperial by Creed, when I used to have a bottle of it, I would do 10 sprays and get compliments.
My favorite fragrance. Try armar club de nuit Milestone. The best clone for $40
Right on brother i am def going to start using this system tomorrow .. I know this info must seem pretty straight foreward but it is good to kbow that i was doin simething similar .. Thank you again

I appreciate the tips bro! Truly helps!!!😎
Nice one.
I've been cautious with my sprays like u've described, nice to see the bosses in the game confrm.
How many sprays for Layton and how many for Bleu De Chanel Parfum do you recommend?
Ugh🙄I totally over spray. Love your content.
Great video. Only complaint is Sauvage. It smells good but does NOT last longer than 2 hours or so. I have tested all 3 types and none of them have decent longevity "for the money."
Good advice with logic and examples. Great video
Bravo! Solid information all around. Cheers
How about spraying in the back of ears and neck....Your choice of spray is definitely perfect for an intimate date, mine for for getting one...
I reapply my scents at work on my breaks just in case😂
He’s Giving out Gems Guys!
Love Hacivat and Original Santal.
Wish you would’ve wrote the fragrances out. Other than that love the channel. Thanks.
Tom Ford is 4 for me… behind each ear and inner elbows

Thought this was gon be about self love fragrances when I seen the big bottle of Jergens
I spray my cologne in my lotion container
Shout out to you with the Renew Lotion. Best lotion out there. #MelaStrong
Where to buy that lotion ?does Wal-Mart carry it?
Whats up Darien! Question...I own 4 Creed scents...Aventus, Milliseme Imperial, Silver Mountain Water, & Virgin Island Water. Does these scents fall under the 3, 5, or 7 category?

I'd say 3. Creed is 🔥🔥🔥
thanks alot will try that
Thank you!
This was the BEST fragrance application video I've seen and I've watched all the major influences rules on this!
💯💯💯💯💯
Great video!
I like to spray it at people I walk past to truly enjoy it
quality videos as usual
Is it true you can make your cologne last longer if you mix it with unscented lotion?
Good tips bro.
Amouge recommended using a non-scented lotion to enhance the projection and longevity of Reflection Man. Why do you suppose they said this?
Because that lotion helps keep the skin hydrated so the fragrance does not get eaten up by the skin quickly, like it would on dry skin that lacks moisture for hydration. The lotion also creates another barrier between the skin and sprayed fragrance to help slow it down from being burned off by body heat quickly
Any recommendations on body wash/soap to use?
Been using Charcoal by Native as of late before I get dressed and put on the fragrance of the day/night.
Do you put the lotion on your wrists as well??
I appreciate you brother
Do you ever spray behind your ear? Because I do.
For Parfum de Marly fragrances (Layton & Galloway specifically)..are they are 3 or 5 spray fragrance? Would all PDM varieties be the same?
7 for me..i only have 1 perfume its Polo Green
Great content
Headed to Colombia, what do you recommend? Tom Ford Oud Wood, Portait of a Lady, Polo?
Great info 😎👍👍
Very informative
