When it comes to cologne, less is more. You can think of a myriad of people that wear too much cologne and even worse, too much bad cologne. Even the best cologne can smell rancid when it’s applied too heavily, or the smell itself is too overbearing.
Subtle fragrance is usually the way to go, leaving just enough of you behind to make you linger in other’s thoughts. In the fashion world, fragrance is as powerful as the use of visual aesthetics. However, it’s a subjective topic because everyone has different skin and tastes. What might work for you might not work for someone else.
Since everyone has diverse knowledge and experience levels, let alone smell palates when it comes to this topic, I’ll try to keep this guide basic. That way, we can go deeper or add on later on.
