HOW TO WEAR IT

One of the most common questions about scent is actually just how to wear the stuff. Where to put it, how much, when, reapplication. Where is relatively simple: The tops of your forearms (forget the “pulse points” legend; that’s marketing) and your neck. Before I put on my button-down, I lift my T-shirt and give one good shot down my back. And the two unobvious places: Your hair (great for diffusing scent) and the shoulders of your shirt, top, or suit coat.

How much: Watch the volume, and that depends on which scent it is. The original Prada, Sean John’s I Am King, Calvin Klein Secret Obsession, l’Interdit by Givenchy these are scents with good lungs, and you’re going to need just enough so that those within 4 or 5 feet of you get a pleasant olfactory decible level but no more. On the other hand, evanescent scents Hermes’ Un Jardin sur le Nil or Un Jardin en Mediterranee, Nautica Oceans, or Pucci Vivara — you should reapply every 2-3 hours to keep them nicely humming along.
