7 Reasons Why Overspraying is Bad

Greetings once again, earthlings! I hope everyone had a fantastic day! I was just inspired to write this article tonight after looking at a few threads that I have seen pop up recently. This will be my take on overspraying a fragrance. I know this is controversial to most people, but I am going to give you my opinion on it. Let's get into it!


1. Allergies

Some people have allergies to certain chemicals. Also, some have asthma. Granted, some might not be as bad as others. We should still practice restraint. Just because we love something doesn't mean everyone else will. We should seek to smell good and still be courteous to those around us. I know we want to smell good and want everyone to experience our amazing new fragrance, but not everyone will.


2. Going Anosmic

If you are a habitual oversprayer, then you are fatiguing your nose. It will get less sensitive with time and it will stop smelling things properly. That may be why you will feel the need to overspray, due to you being anosmic to many lighter smells. The nose is like every other sense..if you sit in front of a computer all day, then your eyes will get tired and blurry. The same thing goes for your nose.


3. Projection

Yes, you will get more projection with more sprays. However, some fragrances are meant to not project because they will be cloying if they do. Like La Nuit de l'Homme, it's more sensual and draws people in to smell it. This is intentional. You don't always need to announce to everyone in the room that you are wearing a fragrance. Sometimes the best-kept secrets are the things not everyone knows.


4. Compliments

Overspraying might get you compliments a few times, but most often you will be known as the guy who "wears too much cologne". It will force many people to avoid you because of your strong smell. No one wants to be around someone who has a smell that chokes them out. Not everyone wants to smell 8 sprays of Kouros. If you really seek compliments out to improve your self-esteem, then I don't know what to tell you. I am not a professional in that field.


5. Too Much Fragrance Stinks

Have you ever smelled someone who doesn't wear deodorant? I am sure we all have. It stinks...Really badly. The same thing goes with fragrances. Too much of a good thing is a bad thing. It can be nauseating, headache-inducing, and just plain unpleasant. I don't suggest being that guy.


6. Overspraying to Cover Body Odor

If you don't take a shower and try to spray fragrance on to mask it...You still stink, dude. A fragrance will only make it worse. Unwashed underarms and Bleu de Chanel mixed smells like a tree you used to scratch your sweaty butt with. Don't be that guy. Leave the college days of skipping showers in college. Let's be grown-ups and take showers at least daily.

7. Overspraying to Smell the Opening

Yes, some fragrances have wonderful openings. If you want to experience that again, then spray it on a tester strip or paper. Not your skin. There is no need to periodically put 12 sprays of fragrance on yourself to smell the opening or get it to project again.


Conclusion

Sorry Doug, I am not a believer in the #FullDoug. To each their own. These are just things we should all consider when wearing a fragrance. I personally never go beyond 5 sprays. I tried to do 9 sprays of Noble Soul at home, but I just thought it was a waste.

I hope everyone had a good day. Remember to say something positive to someone today and don't overspray! Much love to all of you, even those who are going to get mad at me for this article!
