FAQ
How many sprays of cologne should I use?
For most fragrances, 2-4 sprays is the sweet spot. Start with 2 sprays on pulse points (neck and wrist) and increase if the scent fades too quickly. Stronger, sweeter fragrances need fewer sprays, while lighter fresh scents can handle more. For precise guidance, try our Cologne Spray Count Guide.
What is the difference between EDT, EDP, and Parfum?
EDT (Eau de Toilette) has 5-15% fragrance concentration and lasts 3-5 hours. EDP (Eau de Parfum) has 15-20% concentration and lasts 5-8 hours. Parfum (or Extrait) has 20-40% and can last 8-12+ hours. EDP offers the best balance of longevity and value for most men. Use our Sprays per ML Converter to compare bottle values across concentrations.
Should I have different colognes for different seasons?
Ideally, yes. Fresh and citrus scents perform best in spring and summer when heat activates light notes. Woody, sweet, and spicy fragrances shine in fall and winter when cool air lets their depth develop. A two-fragrance seasonal rotation covers most situations. Pair your scent with a matching outfit using our Outfit Builder.
