After months of being into fragrances I’ve finally found how to make it project and last longer

[Dr. Mog]

Just spray it more!

Almost every fragrance I’ve sprayed (including oud) lasted projecting 3 hours max after which it just became a skin scent due to the shitty hot humid weather.

This time I sprayed my cheapie creed aventis clone CDNIMP for 8 times instead of 4. Five of them in clothes (not body pulse points) + two on each side of the neck. It’s been 8+ hours and 2 women before exiting the class asked me hey what scent is it? The other one said she smelt it before she saw me physically entering the room and I confirmed with one of my male mates later, happened to be true, in fact he said it was a little citrus overpowering by the time I even slightly opened the door.

TLDR: “Just spray the scent 2x more to make it 4x project and last longer theory”

Spoiler

PS- these mfs aren’t ready for my oud for tomorrow


Until next time!

okay i actually work with perfumes so let me explain.
what makes a perfume project? evaporation, due to high alcohol content
what makes a perfume last long? high perfume oil content

perfume is made up out of perfume oil in alcohol. so u're either gonna have a perfume that projects a lot or one that lasts long on the skin. generally speaking cheaper scents (EDT/EDC) project more, are more top note heavy (citrus, green, florals) and aren't as long lasting. while expensive perfumes (and perfume oils) tend to be a more private scent that supports the bottom notes better (wood, musc, spices).

how to make a scent last long? layering. perfume sticks to hydrated skin
method 1: moisturize first using a (un)scented lotion/balm/hand cream/oil + apply scent on top
method 2: apply a perfume oil (typically sold in rollers and they're not expensive) + apply scent on top

i personally wouldn't feel complimented if people told me they could smell me before i entered a room. that sounds like u're just tryna gas ur classmates with a cheap perfume. i don't find it pleasant when i can smell someone from more than a meter distance.

Yeah I gotta reduce it by 2 sprays I know but all these months not many had ever noticed the scent which is why I felt relived a little today knowing it can project. I only use EDP, never EDT or EDC. CDNIMPP is just a clone but not necessarily a cheap one since it’s $50, has layered notes good enough.

The methods you’ve said is mostly suitable for colder climates and not for smoky hot weather where you sweat a lot through out the day if you move out of the air conditioned systems. The moisturiser lotion will turn quite oily and sticky on the skin when attacked by the real humid air moisture from your body - sweat. In weather where it’s 90 F or 30 C above always spray on clothes more than the body to make it last longer, this is what has worked for me.

50 bucks is extremely cheap, my friend. it's a drugstore perfume where i live. i personally don't know it so can't say if it's good

i think the system i gave works particularly well in hot climates. alcohol evaporates quicker with heat so perfumes never perform as well in summer. i'm not saying that u should rub ur whole body in lotion jfl, i personally use just a drop of avocado oil spread across my wrists and neck. it's not heavy to me. clothes do hold fragrances well, it helps that they don't produce heat like ur skin does so it evaporates slower and fragrances hold quite well to the fibers too. i always make sure some perfume hits my sleeves or collar
