No one can ever smell my perfume/aftershave that I wear

Even if I spray myself 3/4 times.

It is not one particular spray, it is various ones I have tried for around £20-30.

I can't believe that it Is because they are too cheap?

I want people to be able to smell me when I walk past lol.

Do you ask random strangers if they can smell you or can you just see it in their eyes that you have not aroused their olfactory neurons?

Maybe they do but just don't comment. You wouldn't be able to sense it on yourself obvs.

Not always to do with price, I love the Marc Jacobs ones, but heard they're terrible for longevity.
Look up reviews before you buy!

These reviews and adverts you hear about people stopping and trying to locate the heavenly scent are BS.

Don't worry about it m8 and don't start spraying more to overcompensate. You'll start getting the wrong reactions:wink:
I could smell someone's perfume from ten feet away today and I have severe allergies, so that's not good. Perfume should be something that people can smell when they're in close contact with you. After all, it's supposed to mimic pheromones and you don't want every person who passes within ten feet of you to smell it. It's best done minimally (and that'll save you money). For the sake of everyone around you, especially those with allergies, just keep it light! Don't overdo it!

Perhaps you have terrible B.O. that overpowers these potions?
Buy Chanel Bleu, it's so good! :biggrin:
I recommend badger pheromone cologne. Everyone wants a sniff.
Why do you want someone to smell you?
Where are you spraying it? Clothes or skin?

I usually apply fragrance on my pulse points (wrists, elbows, back of the ear lobes, neck/throat), I top up as and when required, seems to work for me

Surely that's the whole point of wearing perfume/aftershave?

What do you mean by proper?

This is Jean Paul Gaultier that I use.

Maybe it is a fake
If you can't smell it it's probably olfactory fatigue.

Any ways I can tell if it's a fake?

How much did you pay for it? And does it last all day?

So, you also dress up so that everyone around you would look at you?
