Disclaimer: This is going to be a little long. Do you use a Shower Gel???? When I buy a new Fragrance, I always want to also buy a Shower Gel. Unfortunately, not all new Fragrances have Shower Gels available at the time of purchase. After popularity kicks in, I usually can find a Shower Gel that is released post Fragrance release. I just love Shower Gels! With that being said.........Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisture!!!! It helps the scent absorb better and last longer. #Facts!! Here is my routine application to smell good all day.........It works for me. I always get compliments. 1. Shower......(Obviously....🤷🏾‍♂️) -- A clean body is a foundation for Fragrance. I use a hydrating gel, but I always start with Dial Soap (Antibacterial) and I always use a Loofah - Exfoliation) My goto gel is Creme Body Wash or Salt & Stone Body Wash. Oh yeah.........Jack Black 👌 (Sulfate Free). Lastly, I lather up with shower Gel that matches my SOTD. 2. Pat Dry or Don't (Preference-I Don't) -- This isn't popular, but I apply a couple of sprays (2-3) and then dry off. Yes, I know, what's the point. I'm just wiping aways the Fragrance when I dry off. Trust me.........that Fragrance still gets absorbed through your pores. Try it....... (I just ruined the molecules 🙄) 3. Fragrance Preparation -- Because I want my Cologne to last longer, I always moisturize my skin first. I always use Vaseline, I don't like lotions. I've been using it for 50+ years. I grew up with my Mom always greasing our ashy behinds!! 😁🤣 An awesome base for the Fragrance to cling to. 4. Pulse Points -- (Do not, I repeat, do not rub in. LOL!) Allow the Fragrance to dry naturally to protect its structure! Wrists, behind the ears, neck and inside the elbow, chest. etc....... Finally, I carry a travel spray, but rarely have to use it. It's only for those weak Fragrances that seem to always fade. Or I could just be going nose blind.....LOL!!

I love this "Lattafa". IMHO, I don't think it's close to Angel's Share. If fact, I think it's a bit more smoother. The spicy blend of cinnamon and vanilla is just right! And that slight hint of Amber I think gets its comparison to Killian's AS. Nevertheless, this is a great everyday fragrance that's cheap and it last a loooooonggg time. Worth wayyy more than the $28 that it goes for.

Good day BOTS! I wanted to get your honest opinion on "Layering Colognes" I have been doing this since I can remember. I first started in my teens, not know what I was doing, but was receiving crazy compliments. My first experience was with layering Brut Splash On right out the shower and with almost every cologne I put on. 🤣 I worked for me back then, and it worked well into my 30's and then died abruptly, and rightfully so. 🤣 Today, I experimenting with different fragrances. Trying to balance citrix and sweet to offset one that more overpowering than the other. My go to layering is with Molecule 01 or Molecule 02 with any and everything!! Not only do I get double takes from my wife (Well......she doesn't count. LOL), but the same when I'm out and about. Molecule 01 also makes my fragrances last longer. Love to get your thoughts on the subject!
