How To Wear Cologne CORRECTLY (10 Mistakes To Avoid!)

About this video

Centeno teaches men how to apply cologne correctly by addressing common mistakes such as ignoring context, spraying on cards instead of testing on skin, and improper storage. He explains fragrance potency levels, sillage/projection, how fragrance notes develop over time, and recommends applying cologne to hot spots on the body within minutes after showering.

Key takeaways

• Centeno argues that context matters when choosing fragrance—consider whether you’re at work, on a date, in an interview, or on an airplane, as powerful fragrances in close spaces can backfire
• Centeno recommends testing fragrances on your skin rather than on cards, as your unique body chemistry affects how a fragrance develops through its top, heart, and base notes over time
• Centeno suggests applying fragrance to hot spots on the body (chest, neck, forearms, back of neck) within minutes after showering, and recommends storing fragrances in their original containers away from light and temperature extremes
