4. Operating Instructions
To achieve the optimal fragrance experience, follow these application guidelines:
- Remove the cap from the cologne bottle.
- Hold the bottle approximately 3-6 inches (7-15 cm) away from your skin.
- Apply 1-2 sprays to pulse points such as the wrists, neck, or behind the ears. These areas generate heat, which helps to diffuse the fragrance throughout the day.
- Avoid rubbing the cologne into your skin, as this can alter the scent profile and reduce its longevity.
- Reapply as desired, keeping in mind that a little goes a long way due to its balanced concentration.
