Making the Scent LastThe length of time your fragrance lasts is affected by your skin type. If you have oily skin, you’re in luck: scent will last longer on you, potentially up to five or six hours, because of your skin’s higher moisture content. SharpMen with dry skin will find that their fragrance won’t have quite as much stamina, so they may want to apply slightly more (emphasis on slightly) before their next activity. SharpMan Tip:Because fragrance generally lasts only four to six hours, it's a good idea to keep a spare bottle in your desk if you’d like to reapply before you head out after work. Many of our favorites come in mini-versions perfect for this use, which are also available online. Remember that scents begin emanating the second you open the bottle. To avoid becoming the joke of your office (think "Scent Boy"), remove yourself (and your bottle) to the men’s room before uncorking and applying. Accessories. A number of fragrance lines offer various products in the same scent, such as aftershave, cologne, bath soap, deodorant, and so on. The ever-popular Bvlgari, for example, has an incredible line that even includes shampoo. Combining these products is highly recommended; it will enhance your fragrance and make it last much longer, without the overpowering effect that applying too much cologne could have. Go for Quality. It's a good idea to stick to high quality. These fragrances are more likely to last several hours per application. While cheap imitation versions of your favorite cologne abound, maximizing lasting-power requires that you stick to the real thing. It’s not about showing off a trendy label on your bathroom counter — it's about minimizing the time and expense of reapplication. Imitation fragrances may smell the same in the bottle, but only a few are actually similar in quality to their legitimate counterparts. Most are made with inferior ingredients that last less than an hour on the skin. Not much of a deal. What do fragrance notes refer to?Fragrances are comprised of many different scents, these scents are called "notes."
