SEAL THE DEAL
Smell like a Boss

And contrary to popular belief, first impressions aren’t all about ‘looks’. People also make assumptions about your character based on the way you smell. Create an air of intrigue rather than asphyxiate your colleagues with any of these…
1. DON’T OVER APPLY
This is the number one mistake most men make. And it’s understandable. You like the smell of your cologne. But subtlety should be the goal when it comes to fragrances. Spritz your wrists and the sides of your neck. If you want to ensure the scent lingers, dab the back of your neck at the hairline. That’s it.
2. SPRAYING YOUR CLOTHES
Cologne was meant to be applied to your body. Spraying your clothes prevents the fragrance’s oils from interacting with your skin, which helps the scent develop and change throughout the day. Plus, it could end up discolouring or staining a garment.
3. KEEP IT CLOSE
Your ‘scent circle’ should extend no farther than your reach. If someone outside that zone can name what cologne you’re wearing, you’ve overdone it. Stat.
