SUCH AN INCREDIBLY UNIQUE AND INFORMATIVE VIDEO!!! BOUND TO BE ON IF THERE MANY CLASSICS IN YOUR WATCH LOST BROTHER! KEEP UP THE QUALITY CONTENT!!👍👏

I agreed with all of those except the not spraying on the neck. It's the BEST place to spray for your fragrance to project and last on skin. Yes, olfactory fatigue sets in, but if you want to smell your fragrance yourself, you can always spray your hands/wrists as well. I normally spray a couple on the neck and a couple on my shirt (this is all fragrance dependent. You may go more or less depending on the consistency of the scent). For me, spraying on the clothes is the most essential element in making a scent last. It'll be there long after it stops performing on skin and after you think it's gone. Another tip you missed is actually probably the most critical: Hydration. There's no such thing as a person that has "dry skin". Those people are usually just folks that under-hydrate. Drink lots of water is good for your overall health (flushes out toxins, good for digestion, etc) but it is MAGNIFICENT for your skin. It helps fight acne, makes you look younger and most important for fragrance, keeps it moist on supple and fragrance sticks to it naturally. Drink more water, people. It's what you're made of!

The BEST way to make your fragrance last longer is to not buy it in the first place. Greedy corporations have watered down todays perfumes to the point of absurdity. One spray from a 1995 bottle of Dior Fahrenheit would literally fill an entire room. Literally. It didn't become a "skin scent" until you showered it off. Today, you're lucky if you can smell a scent 2 -3 hours after applying it. And that's on a good day, in perfect conditions. I see these videos of people gleefully declaring a scent "lasts 2-4 hours then becomes a skin scent for another 4 hours" which is laughable. The whole point of a perfume is for others to smell it. If no one can smell it around you, being a skin scent for 4 hours is pointless. Find a vintage bottle of whatever perfume and you will see just how long a perfume can really last and you will realize just how watered down current formulations are. Remember, the weaker the juice = more sprays = empty bottle faster = more $ale$.

I get olfactory fatigue very quickly if I spray on my neck, and I wash my hands so often that spraying on my wrist doesn't work that well either. I have discovered that fragrance last much longer and don't trigger olfactory fatigue if I spray it on the inside of my elbows. Fragrances that last 2 hours on my wrist can last for 6 hours on the inside of my elbows. That's a remarkable difference.

Petroleum jelly aka Vaseline is the absolute best thing I've ever used to make my fragrance last longer. Lotion is ok, but inferior as it just absorbs into your skin too quickly. Petroleum jelly just sits on top of your skin and keeps the fragrance projecting nicely for hours.

I have seen many reviewers giving tips on making your fragrances last....but i havent seen anything like that This is the most technical set of tips which is so very unique and never heard of before Your are the best Steven!

Very helpful, I was wondering why my Feve Delicieuse disappeared from my neck so fast.. However, my new routine has worked amazingly for a few months now: 1 spray on the back of my head 1 spray on each shoulder on the clothes (that way it leaves a bigger trail & it builds a nice cloud when you stop walking or when you're inside the house or office or a café) 1 spray on each hand wrist (I skip the wrists if it's a strong perfume or super hot outside) Hope you guys try it and let me know how it goes.. Great video Steven

Imagine following all these tips and then applying Dior Sauvage or Invictus Aqua. 16+ hours of lady attracting madness.

The only one EDP i have in my collection lasted 15 hours. I weared it for the very first time last week, which was Bvlgari Man in Black. Fantastic.

This is good stuff.The spraying in your hair thing is great advice. Also do not apply cologne right after you shower. Allow at least one hour before you apply your cologne. This will enable your natural body oils to rise to the surface of your skin. The cologne will blend with the natural oils and last at least twice as long. I discovered that if I shower in the evening and apply cologne the next morning, even the weakest scents last hours longer. Try it, it works.

Thanks Steven appreciate your tips but I think that designers are purposely making perfumes that dont last to increase sales and ensure more get sold, fragrances 10 years ago never had the issues we are seeing with them today and excuses such as bad skin chemistry and needing to moisturise are spin and nothing more, its the quality of the juice or lack of that is causing longevity and performance issues.

Another good tip is using Unscented Vaseline lotion. Spray a little cologne in it and it will hold the fragrance onto your skin longer. You can also use Argan Oil.....rub it on your chest and spray the fragrance on top of it.

Buy an unscented mineral oil and apply it with a QTip apply the fragrance . It will last all night because oil dose not evaporate. When you need to refresh the scent excuse your self to the men's room and apply warm water to the areas where you applied your fragrance , the warm water will open the pours of your skin and let out some more scent.

Spraying on your hair is a good trick. My grandmother used to do that and it definitely did the trick. But I do feel that perfumes back then were stronger and were made to last longer on you. Perfumes nowadays have lower resilience after you sprayed them, but then again a lot of them are more affordable now.

A lot of great things I didn't know, so thank you for that. One concern I have with spraying clothing (besides the obvious potential of staining) is that when you go back to wear that article of clothing again and it still smells like the last thing you sprayed on, but you want to wear a different fragrance. I use a lot of good stuff and even though I don't spray my shirts, I can still smell my shirts just from making contact with my skin. The the main reason I stayed away from spraying shirts.

Hi Steve, this is Destiny. It was awesome meeting you at the Scentz Event. You guys did a great job! Thanks again👋🏾

I always spray my hand to gauge how the scent is doing as far as projection and longevity. That’s how I know how long they last when I’m testing.

I've sprayed it in my hair too. When I shower after that day, it smells really good.

I've just realised that I always apply my fragrance two minutes out of the shower, so it's bound to evaporate quicker with body heat, and the moisture on the skin. I think I'll give it a little more time in future. I also vape a lot and find olfactory fatigue to be a very real thing. So much so that I sometimes can barely smell my perfume or taste my vape fluids.

Very informative. Despite the concentration, there are some ingredients that are more volatile, like citruses - you just can't expect them to last as long as leather or resins.

Nice tips for the fragrance beginners Steven! I apply organic argan oil around my neck before I spray a fragrance and it makes it last a good couple of hours more :)

Excellent as always!

Applying too a fabric band-aid strip works as a larger test strip. Not only that, it maintains the top note and pushes down the less desirable notes in the fragrances I own. Sure it's not the most practical idea but it works! Further more, what other clothing materials work best? Can they be incorporated into the design of a garment for said purpose?

I always use the fragrance on the collar, inside of the shirt around the neck and chest..Always the best results..!! Girls at Dior house services told me that tip... And it works 100%

All great tips Steven . . . I always use a "scent free" moisturizer and reapply in areas where I will be using my fragrance for the day/evening. Scent free is critical so as not to interfere, change, or conflict with the performance of your fragrance choice. By the same token, personal hygiene products, like deodorant, should also be scent free for the very same reason. Thanks for sharing . . . :)

It sounds to me like the concepts of moisturizing and priming with molecule 1 are approaching the concept of layering. Layering has been mentioned in various comment threads, but I don't recall a specific Redolessence video on it. To me fragrance conceptually is akin to clothing, as far as building up a signature style.

Great tips! I've heard of molecule 01 enhancing the performance of other fragrances.. I'll have to try it | Another tip I use that I find works well is applying a little vaseline (not much) on my pulse points after I moisturize like on my wrists and behind my ears.. works like a charm.. I would get 8 hrs out of a fragrance like perry elis 360 red

Steven from Redolessence for president! 2020

As a tip also you can buy a product called Linger lasting fragance primer; it makes your fragance last double to tree times more, I did this test on my own skin. Basically you wear it first in your pulse points ( chest, neck, wrist, etc.) and then you come with your scent but before you use it don't forget moisturize your skin is essential as brush your teeth.

I never spray my clothes, to me, fragrance is for the skin, which should evolve throughtout the day from note to note - the same does not occur when sprayed on clothes, at least not to the same effect. Depending on fragrance, I usually do 3 sprays MAX. One to the wrist (press the other wrist onto it) then dab behind ears and side of neck with wrists. Then spray to the chest, the heat from being covered with clothing helps project it further. Finally one spray at the back of the neck for a nice trail when walking/sillage.

I don't like P-Jelly because it is really greasy and oily. Also, if you have really fine clothes, it will stain. A KZfaq commenter suggested Nivea cream. I can't even tell you how it has changed my life. I've tried different lotions and even Vaseline, and the Nivea gives me the best results. I highly suggest Nivea lotion on the back of your neck and wrists, at the very least. I really think the Nivea brand is on to something here.

Glad you made this I've been having performance issues. Could you make a video on how to apply? Where to spray and how many for different occasions?

You can't even trust Edp markings anymore. Some of the less... serious brands, like D&G will put Edp on their bottles but the content fades almost instantly or becomes a skinscent. I read alot of reviews on D&G The One Edp for example.. very bad quality.. yet marked Edp. Gucci Absolute is also Edp, tried and tested - vanished after a 2 hours. Having a lasting fragrance is about knowing which one is quality, and use it. Dior Homme Intense/Dior Homme Parfum. Bleu de chanel Edp. Raghba wood intense. Thierry Mugler - Pure Malt / Angel Men / Tobacco .. Bvlgari Men in Black. Gucci Pour Homme I. Bentley Intense. Those are my go-to when it comes to quality and assured lasting. I don't own any scents from Naso Matto, but im' sure they're quality as well. It doesn't matter how much you spray or where you spray or how much you lotion before you spray.. poor quality fragrances will never last like a good quality fragrance.

Get a bottle of liquid bandage spray and spray twice let dry then spray your fragrance on top lasts all day and night it acts like a glue 😉👌🏽

"we all understand the importance of an adequately prepared surface before applying the topcoat." LOL!

Can you please do a video over wearing perfume when you work in cold weather and you are outside. Also if you typically wear long pants and long sleeves?

best reviewer on you tube period.

Great video! Sadly all colognes doesn’t last longer that 3 hours maximum even after trying all these tricks. The best I got was using molecule 01 and then applying Ambre tabac which lasted around 4.5-5hours before becoming a skin scent.

Ultimately you need to consider the quality of the fragrance you're wearing. A good/great quality fragrance's longevity will be improved by some of these tips (although neck spraying is something I would always advise of doing personally), but a weak fragrance is a weak fragrance is a weak fragrance. One of the weakest ones in my collection, Estée Lauder Pleasures For Him, will last about an hour or two tops no matter how I apply it. Sometimes it just comes down to the fragrance DNA. You are almost always better off buying an EDP concentration if it's available. Otherwise I'd recommend buying samples on eBay before committing to a full bottle to see how that fragrance lasts on you. Body chemistry is another big factor with fragrance performance.

I just bought 4711 EDC 50ml Spray from DM store in Germany. It's only about 4 euro and the blast of bergamot and lemon last for 30min before it's totally gone. Hahaha

The production and thumbnail looked like I was watching one of Antonio's videos from RMRS :)

I believe there are different routines when applying fragrances. Like close encounters and certain situations. But definitely great advice. I hear spraying on clothes last longer but being careful you don't over spray. If you over spray? Women and are gonna let you know about it and you're not gonna like it. Back of your neck is a good place to spray. I spray behind my ears. Be careful you don't spray too close to your clothes.

Thanks for the great tips! Will experiment to find out what works best for me.

I tried on a sample of Molecule 01 and it made me smell slightly like a greasy mechanic! I didn't think of layering it with another fragrance. This is the kind of sponsored vid that not just promotes a product but gives helpful information as well. Thanks!

Just a quick question even though I'm like a year late. The last tip is to not spray on the neck area right? Because of the fatigue thingy that happens? Correct me if I'm wrong but the fragrance will still last the way it lasts on your arm right but the difference is that it's just YOU who can't smell it anymore.

Excellent tips Steven, thanks for sharing. Molecule 01 hmmm, I have to look into that.

#2 was spot on. Do it all the time. Never thought to spray the hair, but i'll try it, good tip. #3 is good too. Its made a difference for sure. As Steven suggests, make sure its a non scented or minimally so as to not clash with your fragrance. As far as tip 1 and 5, i feel like its good info but doesn't match up with the title. Sure x fragrance may last longer then y fragrance but knowing that doesn't help you get more mileage out of fragrance x or y. Tip 5, in the same way, knowing olfactory fatigue sets in quicker towards the neck vs extremities doesn't make the fragrance last longer either. Always putting out top content Steven, keep it up!

So should we spray the fragrance on our skin or clothes?

Gosh I love his videos:) straight to the point!!! Thanks for the info!!!! Gotta get my hands on molecule 1

I personally purchased some iso-e super fragrance oil and mixed it with unscented lotion and unscented castile soap. Definitely enhances the fragrances I wear and I've even managed to get compliments when I didn't even apply a fragrance that day.

Decant then add up to 10% Diethyl Phthalate - its available on amazon. whatever fragrance you have it will last as long as the 80's show stoppers...

20 years ago you could wash a piece of clothing twice that had perfume on it and it would still annoyingly smell of the perfume you sprayed on, such a sad state these days with some frags lasting only a few hours.

Its only me i think but i use same parfume and deodorant if available, deodorant on neck and underarms and then i put my perfume and result is impressive. 2nd is whenever i wear half sleeves or t shirt, I spray one puff on my both wrists and rub them, same like whenever I put arabic oil and believe me I get a lot more compliments because it really makes more projection and my skin smells great all the time.

Hi Steven. Whenever I buy perfumes, I try to get the set. Specially if it includes the deodorant and the after shave cream. Weird.....they usually cost the same or even less than the actual perfume bottle, but people tend to buy just the bottle. The point is, you apply the scented after shave first, and then apply the perfume in the same spot. And of course, the deodorant if you have it. The other thing I santo to mention is, people talk about heat spots. But in my experience, that may or may not work properly. What works all the time, is to apply where are more skin pores and hair. For example, and as you mentioned, the top of the hand (where skin pores are bigger and some have hair), make the scent last way longer than the wrist. A lot longer actually. Cheers Steven!

No it depends on what type of hair you have to spray it in your hair if you have 3C hair or higher it will dry out your oils and make your hair rough and tangled.

That is the best advice on how to wear fragrance I have ever seen. I have mugler cologne and am not sure about the new flankers, but loved the videos and hope to smell them soon.

You've been stepping up the game. That's what I like.

Spraying EDT,EDC,EDF or EDP on your is a good idea (I have done it too) were as fragrances have alcohol in them which are bad for hair, but it's your choice.

I do lotion on back of knees, spray fragrance, and once on the back of my head.

Good tips Steven, thanks!

I would think spraying on your chest under your shirt especially if you have hair there...would that give you fatigue? would vaseline work or is too thick?

Excellent tips! Thank you so much!! the Iso E. super makes a lot of sense! Planning to purchase Monoscent G & E for a more affordable alternative.

Thanks for the informative video Steven!!! Appreciate it! : )

Great tips man! Completely agreed about molecule 01 being a GREAT layering frag that amplifies the total experience.The other day Spice and wood mixed with molecule 01 did great for me,also when I mixed it with Bergamote 22.Big ups/Peace

Thanks For The Tips ... I have a terrible time making my colognes last, will try those methods ..✌

Fantastic tips. I have a big problem with fragrances' longevity. The olfactory fatigue neck thing makes great sense. Thank you!

JOOP! Pour Homme. That stuff will stain lighter colored clothing; It lasts even after coming out of the wash!

Molecule 01 really does work under tom ford for men EDT & oud wood , neroli portofino as well , I also wear it by itself a d I'm starting to really love it

Dave at Mountain Aromatics gave me a tip that Hercolyn D is a mostly odorless fixative, that will push your base notes further. I was going to buy Ambroxan, but he said that would add too much scent to your finished fragrance. I'm thinking of adding some to a 10 ml decant of a weaker edt scent.

Thats why i dont judge the reformulation of fragrances easily because of the olfactory fatigue haha thanks for tips stevie!!!

So so interesting! Your video are stunning, professionals, I adore you! Thank from Italy

I feel like this video was made for me I feel like I've been on this journey mostly because they don't last on me!!! I have a few heavy winter scents that do, but any lighter scents doesn't last! What are your thoughts on fragrance primers??? Does Molecule 01 work??

Excellent tips steven ...thanks alot

Awesome video! This is by far the most helpful video on youtube for fragrance lovers. One question though: How do you apply your fragrances? Say you are wearing Creed Aventus, where/ how many sprays do you apply? For some reason, I can only smell Aventus on my skin for about 2 hours max (I usually use 4 sprays on my neck). I just don't get why Aventus and any fragrance really never lasts and projects on my skin. Again, thank you for all of your help with fragrances

I would not apply fragrance directly on the skin as it dries your skin and long term use causes skin sensitivity. I don't know why men apply it to their face or neck. Do they want to age faster? To me, the best application is over the clothes and hair. I do that after I apply addition moisturizer to my hair and it lasts until I wash my hair the next day.

I've heard & tried in hair, back of my head, on clothing, cream ( basing) but never heard of molecule O1!. On neck .....YIPE! Some scents will burn your skin.

Never add fragrence over moisturiser, the alcohol destroys the cream allways put on your fragrence then apply the cream...Roja Dove knows what hes talking about.

Great tips!!! When I was wearing baccarat 540 extrait I sprayed it on my neck and in my hair and went nose blind to it and could only smell it for a few hours. I was wondering what the hype was lol 😂. The next time I wore just one spray on my wrist and found it lasted 12-13 hours.

Thanks you for sharing good knowledge 😊👍🙏🙏🙏👍.

That herod and godolphin bottles behind you are so stunning.. looking forward to see your review of godolphin

Thanks for this very informative video !

#6 a swipe of unscented deodorant on arm before applying fragrance to arm

thank you so much for the tips steven..

The longest lasting Niche fragrances that I've experienced so far I think is Parfums De Marly Pegasus and Layton and for designer Versace Eros Flame which has been on a shirt of mine for at least 2 weeks now only thing about spraying it on your clothes if it sits too long ants will eat them

Sir... Are the tricks may good apply at southeast asia countries? Thank you...

which is better..Christian Dior Privee Oud Inspain or Tom Ford Privee Tobacco Vanille

Great Video!!!!!! Tip #4 is a must!!! Molecule 01 and La Nuit de'lomme layered is Magical!!!

Spot on 👏🏼

Great tips ! But I’m confused about Abercrombie Fierce which is a cologne but is a beast with projection and longevity?🤔

Ive found your channel recently and I have to say I like your character and how you explain things. Keep up the work! I have one question: can you recommend a unique scent for hot summer days? right now Im wearing Aqua di gio Profumo and aqva amara but I want something, thats more unique.

I heard if you sprayed perfume on vaseline it will stay longer too

On an unrelated note, I have noticed an interesting thing when I unbox my new fragrances. For the first few days, they do not perform well (some of them). But if I give them sometime, it seems they get better. I do not know what can be the reason ( a psychological effect etc. ) or maybe when they are exposed to some oxygen outside the box. Have you guys experienced and noticed such an effect?

Five stars !! 🖐😊

Nice video! Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷

I'd probably add...the fragrance has a body wash and or a lotion or after shave to go along with it to maybe combine all of them and make a scent stronger and last longer...just saying

Great Video for fragrance newbies and making scents last longer

Spraying on my neck works everytime for me .

Looking great with this red and navy suit combo💕love it

What is molecule 01??? Is is perfume? What is the reason for buy ? Is it really makes my scent long lasting ????? Plz reply

Steven I spray a lot on my clothes
