Colognes and perfumes are meant to compliment a person's body chemistry not over power it. Some people have a habit of treating a fragrance like a body wash. They forget that any fragrance is made up of a complex of blended ingredients. Those ingredients combine to form a harmonious blend of three notes: top, middle and base. Metaphorically speaking these notes are similar three cords on a scale. They all work together to create a melodic sound. In the case of a fragrance the notes work together to allow the scent of a fragrance achieve maximum result. The top note is what the nose perceives immediately. The first impression of a Chanel #5 or Polo is in the top notes. When the top notes have done there job then you have the middle notes that form the 'heart' of the fragrance scent. Usually the middle notes come in within 2 minutes of application. Finally you have the base notes where the depth of the fragrance is realized. When you're close and you catch the scent of Calvin or Acqua Di Gio you're probably interacting with those base notes.
However, if the fragrance is applied with no consideration to this pyramid of notes the person could have negative results. Each fragrance is designed to respond in a particular when worn correctly. If all the person does is grab the bottle and spray away they'll walk in a mist that could be repulsive. I remember such an experience when I was dating a lovely lady many years ago. She put too much of her favorite perfume on that caused me to not get too close until the scent calmed down or dissipated in strength. Fortunately when the scent was not as strong being close was more enjoyable.
The correct way is to splash or spray a little on and let those fragrance notes do their work. Apply perfume or cologne to hot spots like the neck, wrists and behind the ears for normal wear. Keep in mind a fragrance has a scent life such as 5 - 6 hours. That means a reapplication is necessary later in the day.
When used or worn correctly that favorite fragrance will do its work and the compliments will come. Then comes the time when you have to restock and you go to your computer and enjoy the savings of shopping online.
