While getting into the office in the first working week, you may be quite worried about your appearance, and, particularly, about your outfit. However, you should also take care of your smell strategy. It is tempting to use your favorite cologne in order to make people think that you are classy and sophisticated. However, you have to keep in mind that nobody wants to get a headache in the neighboring cubicles.
The main thing about cologne application is that it should not be used in excess, i.e. you should use no more than two sprays of it. One spray goes on your wrist, another one – on your neck. As for the colognes, like Dior Sauvage and Bleu de Chanel, just one spray would be enough. In other words, even though you won’t be able to smell it in ten minutes, others will.
The spot where you spray your fragrance is also very important. You should avoid rubbing your wrists, because in this way you will destroy all the delicate top notes of the fragrance. In addition, you should spray it on the places where the heat of your body is felt. They are called the pulse points and include the insides of your elbows and areas around your ears.
As for the choice of the colognes in the case when you work in an office for a long period of time, it is better to choose lighter options like Eau de Toilette. Though it evaporates quickly, it is very difficult to apply it in excess. The examples include Bleu de Chanel EDT, which has a sophisticated and professional smell, Montblanc Explorer, and Acqua di Gio Profondo.
Entering an office through the elevator, you should pay special attention to your smell strategy. If you feel your own smell in a couple of minutes, it means that you sprayed too much of it. A good fragrance should be felt only during the handshake. You shouldn’t announce yourself with your smell to people five minutes before you meet them.
It is better to pay more attention to the hygiene issues than to fragrance application while you groom yourself for the office. A clean body and unscented deodorant is better than the smelly one. You don’t have to smell like a fruit salad or a pine forest. Being unscented is better than being overscented.
