Apologies for the blur, still working out the setup at the new place, hopefully future videos won't be the same, I still wanted to provide by raw initial reaction to you :(

The rubbing thing is basic chemistry, when you rub your wrists, you create heat from the friction, the heat will bring energy to molecules and may be able to break bonds and thus slightly changing either the composition of the perfume or making it dissipate faster. You need a lot of rubbing for that tho so dont worry, just dab and you're fine

Great video Omar! I will not be changing my spray routine. I spray on clothes as well and I agreed with half of Roja's advice.

I’m confused🤔he said rubbing your scent damages the notes but he continued and suggested applying your scent and then applying your moisturizer or cream…Does this not do what he suggested that we not do? Amazing video. Thanks

Great video. Will change when I apply lotion. A long time ago go a friend told me to spray right around your belt line. I’ve done it since and can say that it does work and projects.

I seen a vid of a guy saying to apply around the collar bone as well. To my understanding it was a tip for you to smell it more throughout the day rather than the projection for others to smell. It did in fact work as I smelled my cologne all day compared to how I used to apply it

Omar you are getting the best perfumes reviewer! Minor comment would be ask less questions🤣

I spray on clavicle too and its work!! ;) . I use it combine with spray on front and back of collar of my shirts. I can smell projection from my clavicle and increase longevity from my clothes I usually avoid spray on my neck for reduce chance of allergies or irritaion (outside your clothes) . I think because we have the arteries under the clavicle bone too, So that its

I learned the hard way that if you’re someone who’s prone to feeling nauseous or headachey from fragrances, don’t apply them on your chest or throat area. You end up breathing in far too much perfume that way. Stick to your arms / wrists / back of neck. Also I think the bruising thing is total bs. These aren’t aged wines. A little bit of rubbing from one arm to the other is fine

I think current/modern interpretation of where to apply scent is all about people needing to noticed more than wearing scent for themselves. Roja Dove’s tips and explanations make a great deal of sense. Oh and rubbing scent after applying absolutely impacts the fragrance by adding heat and friction which dry out that application much sooner than applying and leaving to dry naturally.

Sounds like it's time for a new video about perfume and moisturizers. What goes first and did it make a difference?

Wow!! So fascinating! I feel like I just took a master class in fragrance application!!! Curious tho about the “apply lotion on top of the fragrance” notion. Doesn’t that mean you’d end up rubbing the fragrance? This perplexed me after he mentioned how rubbing “bruises” the essence. I suppose a way around this would be to use an unscented spray moisturizer or perhaps just very lightly rubbing in the lotion? Anybody have any thoughts on this point?? Thanks y’all!! -Dr. M👃

I think he meant the dimple near your neck and collarbone. Not the bone itself. I also think its better cause, when the dimples are hidden under our clothes it kind of stops an overdose of the scent directly coming to our nose. But if someone were to come in for a hug or kiss, they can get the scent in more concentration ( Hug and kiss would be momentary ofc as opposed to me smelling the scent in the same concentrated dose throughout the day). What do you think?

The “dip of the clavicle” as mentioned by Roja, is different then “on the clavicle bone”

Already saw it and already following those tips... and i would rather not ruin the neck but still enjoy the fragrance, it's no issue if it's few cm on the side...

On the arms yes and rubbing is fine. The amount of heat required to break down the molecules in the fragrance is too high for us to be able to do it by rubbing. But if you plan on rubbing then why not just spray the other arm? I dont apply fragance on my front, i dont want fragrance under my nose potentially causing anosmia. On the side of neck slightly towards the rear. Moisturise at night before bed and you don't need to apply moisturiser and fragrance together in the morning.

Roja explained in one of his Q&A that rubbing causes friction, the heat is what is destroying the molecules.

So where do you think we should apply cologne then? Because it makes sense to protect the skin on the neck

In high school my buddy used the cloud method.. as he would say "spray, delay, walk away" 😂

Here's what I don't get about the last tip. If putting moisturizer first, then spraying the perfume on after "destroys the cream," why wouldn't putting the perfume on first than moisturizer on top destroy it also? They're both coming in contact with each other, why would it matter which is on top? And also, if rubbing a freshly applied fragrance "bruises" it, wouldn't rubbing cream on top of it also affect it?

that moisturise after applying fragrance makes sense but then we're also told not to rub fragrances so only solution is a battle to the death to see which side is right.

In summer, if i am wearing a polo or something, i also like to spray on the inside of the elbows... it is another pulse point.

Applying fragrance before moisturizer would be contradictory to not rubbing the fragrance.

What's the difference between fragrance first and then lotion? it's not like alcohol wouldn't mix cuz it was applied first, not to mention you need to rub the lotion and based on his own advice, that would "destroy" the fragrance.

I don't know where else I could apply my fragrance besides my neck. I wear long sleeve shirts and a watch, and I don't wear shorts during the colder months. Even if I wear shorts, I don't see myself spraying behind my knees.

As a fellow bald man, but some sunscreen on that head.. my dad doesn't, and he ended up with skin cancer on the scalp.. not deadly thankfully

Omar he didn't say "tip" in the collarbone he said "dip" which is still the carotid artery. I assume he's using it instead of the neck as he mentions later.

Someone on KZfaq recommended applying fragrance to the inside of the elbow. That’s what I’ve been doing and it works for me. I don’t feel like I’m eating my perfume that way.

Another thing I saw on a video was to get lotion on your hand and spray the perfume on the lotion and mix it, then apply to the body. 🤷🏽‍♂️ Just thought it was interesting.

Hey man, I got jpg le male, dolce & gabbana the one, and montblanc legend spirit is on the way and I want to have a collection of 5, what do you suggest? (Preferably cheaper but I can splurge a bit)

Spraying this way made me appreciate Sauvage Elixir more cos it's less explosive, and more intimate. Spraying on clothes is OVERKILL

Hey, do u have a tip for me? my issue is that some Fragrances i love and are widely described as beast mode just dissipate in a matter of minutes, not even smelling them if i smell directly at the area i applied them to. Even if i let my friends smell that area or in general, they cant smell it either. and im applying six sprays. ( each wrist, behind every ear, 2 around the neck and each clavicle bone but on the t-shirt not the skin) It seems i can only smell real rose ( which im not that much a fan of ) and real oud for a longer period of time. and some really sweet fragrances like angels share linger on for long i tried every "enhancing technique" i have heard of thus spraying 2 on the shirt but it still didn't help much.

Roja seem to were shirt whit open colar. So it make sens to put at the jonction of the neck to the colar bones. Wearing a t-shirt not so good. I apply at the jonction of the neck and the t-shirt so i have some on my neck and clothes at the same time

Guys, I need some help. For a new daily signature + summer fragrance, is Cedrat Boise or Cedrat Boise intense the move? Something I could wear to school and smell fresh and clean woods- not overpowering

He said to not rub the scent but to rub body cream on top??

Also take note Roja is referring to “how women should apply” perfumery, so some of the spots he recommends may not work for us guys.

if you spray your fragrance then apply lotion, wouldnt that be the same as rubbing it together... which would damage the fragrance?

I remained like an idiot after the last advice

Rubbing moisturizer/lotion after applying goes contrary to his suggestion of spraying and not rubbing

Wait, I don't understand? Rubbing your wrists ruins the fragrance, rubbing cream over the fragrance...doesn't?

I get a kick out of all this bro-science around fragrances.

If you rub a fragrance you take the fragrance off the area you applied it to, you should spray it and leave it to dry naturally. The whole moisturising thing is a myth because fragrance is a skin product, I've tried this extensively and it really makes no difference!!

If you apply the perfume first and then the moisturising cream over it, I think that you will destroy the perfume because you will scrub the cream on the perfume.

Rassasi Hawas or Afnan 9PM for daily use?

I want someone to whisper a sweet nothing in my ear. My wife hasn't done that in years. I'll wear my aftershave in my clavicles more often. Or we could go the CubaKnow route and do the ballspray... works for me! \m/

ROJA DOVE made scenes in every maner😏✌️

Can you please make a review video about resala by arabian oud it is a ladie killer fragrance

Don't rub the fragrance coz you'll damage it but rub it with cream to enhance it 🥴

I don’t understand the whole idea of spraying it in the air and then walking through it like where is the fragrance it’s all going to be on the floor and you’re just wasting it. and also, I would spray the forearms instead of the wrist because you’re going to be washing your hands throughout the day and when you wash your hands you’re rubbing the fragrance off. I don’t understand the whole spraying your collarbone either. I would say stick to how you spray your fragrance and don’t try to do extra.

Clearly, it's tips for women and not men.

Am I allowed to say that Roha just show us that he does not know anything about perfumes ?! My God … we are talking about chemicals here … not glass beads that will break when you rub it … unless the human touch now can break the chemicals bonds between atoms … your perfume will not destroy if you rub it … Also applying the perfume to the wrist …. Ok … if you want to smell it for trying it … yes for sure … but for daily use ! 1st of all this can only happen in summer or spring … in winter what about your long sleeves .. what about the time you are going to wear a suit … what about the spot that the fragrance will put on your clothe ? And I don’t know where to start regarding don’t spray perfumes on the triangle as your skin will be hurt … but it’s ok force the fragrance to be trapped for long time on your skin as you applying cream above it ! Lastly … if he is against spraying and want to have the fragrance in a small spot … why do they invest in good atomizer … as a cheap one will do the trick in way better result

👍👍👍

Absolutely zero information. All my perfumes are EDPs. Obviously with more oil concentration. I not only apply on my neck, but also cheeks and frequently use any perfume as an aftershave. The reaction to body temperature and perspiration actually invigorates the scent throughout the day.

2 sprays on the front neck amd 3 on ur shirt 1 spray on each wrist and ur set for 4-8 hrs thank me later

As a physics I absolutely don’t believe, that rubbing the perfume on the skin does anything to the perfume. The amount of heat produced by this technique is fare away from being sufficient for a chemical reaction of the perfume.

I hope you don't mind me asking: after all these months do you still have only 32% of your watchers subscribed? 🤔

Roja kralj

Roja Dove is the GOAT.

But his last point contradicts the one of not rubbing the perfume when sprayed on the skin cos it will kill it. Rubbing moisture generates the same motion

If you’re bald like me , top of the head perhaps 🤔

Do whatever u were doing it, this is confusing

U dont need to put an add of ur perfumne and tell us to subscribe for 10seconds in all ur vids man its soo annoying.. im just here for the video!

AS soon as someone mentions 'bruising' a fragrance I'm done, checked out. There is nothing following this that can be worthwhile. Bozo status achieved. For anyone with a science background it's laughable.

how much complication. It's just perfumed water just spray that shit on your body

I spray on clothes almost exclusively. I don't want this poison in my blood.

I Wonder why people DON'T WANT TO LISTEN. a child like THIS KZfaqR came and trying to teach"THE ROJA DOVE"and people start giving an EYEBROW to ROJA. i am wondering if people even properly listen what roja said at first place😏

The old man is dumb.
