ahh, clothes is a mistake often made, and its a big one.

your clothes absorb the cologne and the smell leaves fast, but a dab on your skin releases the smell slowly because of your body heat.

It looks like I shall purchase Acqua Di Gio since due to the vast amount of recommendations here. Thanks everybody for the advice really helps.

The way I put cologne on is by spraying once on each juggular (from far away) then I press my wrists on my neck, and wipe them down my chest (no shirt)

Went out and brought cologne As recommended by everyone here, Giorgio Armani, Acqua Di Gio. $150 AUS for 200ml bottle so hopefully will last a while. Came with 3 small extra bottles, a 'All Over Body Shampoo, small bottle 'Pour Homme,' and 'After Shave Balm.

Few Questions that Id appreciate answered

What is the All Over Body Shampoo used for? Is like body wash liquid and used the same way?

Because I hardly need to shave (Im 19 but I guess its because Im asian) because my facial hair doesnt grow that fast, should I still put on the After Shave Balm or is that just a waste unless I do shave. Also, how do you put on aftershave, dab lightly?

How to apply the cologne? Its a spray on bottle so spray into air and walk into it? Or spray onto hands and rub onto neck etc? Id say neck would be good for when girls kiss on the cheek.

Does smoke ruin the smell of the cologne or will people still be able to smell the colonge over the smell of ciggerettes.


Theres a few more questions but I dont want to post them all in one post

Thanks in advance for replies and answers, all much appreciated.

'All Over Body Shampoo" its like your everyday bodywash/ soap.

aftershave is there to keep away any irratation after you have like razor bumps and rashes. if you dont shave often you dont need to use it.

just a few drops will do. on your neck, behind the ear, on your wrist and if you want near your happy trail (if you get to that point in the night) Dont spray it on your clothing it wont last long and the smoke will overpower it anyways, its just a waste. What i do is spray it on my hand and make a little puddle, 2 fingers, dip, dap on myatom apple then dap on my left and right side of my neck, then behind my ears. then if i want to my wrist. the rest of it i'll rub into my hair in the back. cause when you walk away the trail of your cologne will follow you.

How often should you re-apply? I suppose it depends which cologne (how strong/lifespan etc), but a rough guide would be nice.

well it should last you most of the night so re-applying is not nessesary but if you sweat alot just the same amount.

What about if you're wearing it for the whole day?

well in that case about every 6-8 hour depending on the SPAM

Thanks nonstopreaper

wow so just a few drops is enough to leave a trail? When I first brought it my mate came running up and sprayed it all over his face, I was like gee I hope thats not how your suppose to do it lol

Thanks for the advice man, so spray onto hand and use my fingers to rub it onto neck, behind ear, back of hair and like you said a happy trail if desired

Why would you put onto wrists? Does the smell come out stronger if you put it there?

Thanks in advice for all replies

people can tell when you over use it. its suppose to be strong enough for a person thats talking right there with you but not strong enough that the person thats across the room can smell it.

Another way I found out for putting on cologne is to spray onto each wrist, rub together then use wrist to rub around neck etc. Similar to previous methods I suppose

On monday night while I was out I tried one of the methods suggested in the book.

Spray on each wrist of different ones and get girls opinions in the club, I stepped this up one and put a smell I knew was good on my neck as well.

The girls quite happily sniffed my wrists, not really liking the smells and then I pointed at my neck, some were a little timid but all of them sniffed it, and every girl liked that one the best, some of them even looked quite flustered when they pulled away.

I thanked them and carried on walking
