Stop Wearing Fragrance Wrong (How To Apply Cologne The Right Way)

About this video

Centeno provides a comprehensive guide to properly applying fragrance, covering common mistakes like rubbing in fragrance and using the mist cloud technique. He explains fragrance concentrations, appropriate application amounts and locations on the body, and how to select fragrances for different contexts like offices or seasons. Centeno also discusses layering, travel options, and introduces his performance-enhancing cologne line.

Key takeaways

  • Centeno argues against rubbing fragrance into the skin, as this disrupts the intended progression of top, middle, and base notes that the perfumer designed
  • Centeno recommends applying fragrance 5-10 minutes after showering on clean skin, at 3-6 inches distance depending on atomizer quality, and emphasizes that one to three chest sprays is generally sufficient
  • Centeno advises testing fragrance samples on skin before committing to a full bottle, choosing versatile office-appropriate scents, and trusting your own nose rather than following marketing about gendered fragrances
  • Centeno suggests selecting lighter, citrus-based fragrances for summer and deeper, richer fragrances for winter, and recommends travel atomizers or smaller 50ml bottles for convenient reapplication throughout the day
