From a full application to approaching someone, how much time do you give the fragrance a chance to mellow out?
I personally might be over sensitive to chemical smells because I find two sprays of any instant to be over powering and still extremely harsh after a more than an hour. I just can’t see how some of you guys spray 8 sprays of 4 different instants and walk around without a fragrance overdose. Then on top that I read some will apply 4 sprays of what ever then apply two sprays of cologne! Is not adding to many scents an inadvisable thing to do?
as far as a dry down period, I’d probably go with whatever you’re used to. Generally about five to ten minutes for me. And I do agree that imo, going 8 sprays of anything is way too much, though maybe in some areas, going that heavy with cologne isn’t a bad idea whereas in some, any cologne is too much.
As for layering scents, that’s a matter of personal preference really. Some of the products here I’ll wear as is, others I’ll add my own. Case in point: Some of the neroli products I find don’t diffuse as nicely as I would like or at least have the staying power I want. So in that case, I’ll add some CK One which I’ve found to last a very long time and goes well with both Neroli and Akuto. As for stuff like Ammo or UF, I would wear that as is. The scent is clean but I can’t see it being mixed with anything else as it can be rather in your face and tends to leave a more distinct trail.
I Tend to Spray Before I Leave the House and the Drive to Where Ever I’m Going Tends to be Enough… Normally, That is 6-12 Minutes of Drive Time… The Mones Tend to Last 2-6 Hours Depending so You have Plenty of Time to Allow the Scent to Mellow Abit…
I foresee trying again now that’s it’s three years latter since I originally tried AD products and my sensitivity to chemicals appears to have decreased. =)
Yea seriously you should never have problems with the Instant line because it’s only 6% strength. I find that I can probably handle up to ~8 sprays in total. Sometimes I go crazy, like 5-6 sprays of just ISHINE and people just always tell me, YOU SMELL LIKE HEAVEN
I am assuming you use no cover when you use 5-6 or ~8 sprays?
Is the fragrance of instants on level with high end designer colognes? If so, besides the pheromones, is it because they are of decent quality and more than likely unique to extreme vast majority of people out there?
The quality of AD’s fragrances is excellent - I get problems with some scents, esp cheap shite and generally the least problematic are the high-end ones. So far, Only the F21 scent is at my limit of tolerance and I can avoid that by choosing another version.
The main scents are unique, however Neroli is a fairly common one and that can be found in quite a few quality colognes.
Like everyone else said, I usually only wait about 10-15 minutes and I am good.
I can probably get around 6 sprays without a problem. The neroli scent is generally well recieved, and I have gotten compliments on it multiple times. In fact someone thought it was high quality expensive cologne once. So scent is not something I normally worry about with the instant line
Often I go out immediately after applying the mones. It takes a while before I meet another person anyway, since I have to pull on the boots, go pat the cats one more time, get out, lock the door, unlock and go back in to get the items I forgot, go out again, lock the door, stand around for a minute or two wondering about where the hell I’m heading, then suddenly remembering it and going to the car.
