How to Use Cologne Spray

Using cologne is a great way to top off a shower and to smell great. Unfortunately, we all know people who use so much cologne that you continue to smell it long after they've left the room. The smell of overapplied cologne can be just as offensive as body odor. Fortunately, there are several ways to use and apply spray cologne that allow you and others to enjoy the scent without being overwhelmed by it.

Take-It-With-You Application

• Be careful to not breathe cologne or to get it in your eyes.
