^^ that's it right there!
Guys, we don't want to smell you from across the room. Cologne is a good thing, but we don't want our nose hairs fried off from the intensity of it.
Generally, one light spray with the bottle held about 2 feet from your chest is enough to do the trick. Or spray two sprays in the air in front of you and walk through it. If you're using an open top bottle (no sprayer), then dab a drop on your fingertip, and swipe it across your collar bones (not the neck). If you want, use one more drop rubbed between your inner forearms (not the wrist).
And for the one guy that said he couldn't smell his anymore and had to put more on... DON'T!! Here's the trick to scents, guys.. No matter what you use, it will always smell differently on different people. It mixes with your natural body chemistry to give a unique scent. If a few minutes after you put your cologne on, YOU can't smell it, then it's the right scent to mix with your personal chemistry. If you CAN smell it throughout the evening, then it's not a 'match' to your skin/natural smell, and/or you have WAY too much on.
This had been a public service announcement from your resident BBnet chick
Oh.. and as Eric said, when you reach the level of dating women (not girls), we DO enjoy that natural manly smell too. Fresh from the gym is usually a good scent. As long as you at least put on some deoderant beforehand
