I’ve been trying mones out for the past few weeks on and off, but one of the biggest deterrents in trying out more than one to two sprays (On some, less) has been the strength of the scent. With traditional cologne I’ve always been a firm believer that less is more, so I’m reticent to apply as many sprays as I hear others talking about simply because to me at least the smell becomes overpowering and I’d hate to be ‘that guy’ that slathers on the cologne. Even too much of a good smell is bad. How do you guys deal with such strong scents? Am I just more sensitive to them than others? Thoughts? ---

Yeah I was going to ask that as well. In my first week (i.e., this week) I tried just one squirt of AMMO. The strenght was pretty strong and I could still smell it maybe 4 hours later. I can’t imagine what’s going to happen with 2 squirts. ---

Ammo is at full cologne strength so I do use mostly 2 sprays of Heavy Ammo which is like 4 sprays of regualr…but Im 34 yr old…you’re both in your early 20’s…2 sprays Id think would be enouhg…as for all the others…[Neroli](https://a314.com/product-category/scented/androtics-neroli/) scent fades real quick…and you can choose to get the only 6% scent…which I find doesn’t “interrupt” the smell of your primary cologne. ---

Aye, the issue isn’t so much the application of [Ammo](https://a314.com/product/ammo/) alone, or any single product, it’s when considering ‘mixes’ that seem to involve terrifying amounts of sprays. I almost consider spraying my shoes instead, to avoid concentrating so much scent about my head and wrists. I’ve been unable to figure out how long the neroli scent lasts, because I can’t be sure whether or not I’m just getting used to it or if it’s really fading. How long would you say it lasts? ---

I say forget it…frankly IS IH IO are all so faint…they disappear and I never have a problem…the only ones that “sitck out” are AMMO & TUTH for me…of which I don’t use together…Ive never had an issue ---

When dealing with pheros with stronger scents I recommend applying them about 10-30 minutes _before_ interacting with people so the scent will die down. When you’re ordering putatives and you want them in akuto or with full strenght cologne then make sure the mcgs per spray is high so you won’t have to spray so much.😉 ---

Is that true??
