About this video
Centeno provides a comprehensive guide to selecting, applying, and purchasing fragrances for men. He covers fragrance concentrations and families, explains the correct application techniques to preserve fragrance composition, and outlines strategies for buying fragrances while avoiding common mistakes like over-application and purchasing without testing.
Key takeaways
- Centeno argues that fragrance should be sprayed without rubbing to preserve the intended top, middle, and base notes as designed by the perfumer
- Centeno recommends applying 1-3 sprays in the chest area at 3-6 inches distance for most situations, and advises testing fragrances on skin before committing to a full bottle
- Centeno suggests buying fragrances from multiple sources including direct manufacturers, niche boutiques, box stores, and online discounters, noting that gray market fragrances from discounters are legitimate secondary market products that offer significant savings
