New Here, just looking for some help

[Cruzsdaddy]

Hello I am a new member to the site. I need a little help from some people who know what they are doing lol. I really like Tiffany & Love for him, but the projection & sillage are weak. The cologne is EDT & they do not make a parfum (at least not yet). Can anyone share thoughts on how to either enhance the performance or another cologne that smells the same but better performance?
Thank You!

Welcome to you Cruzsdaddy! Enjoy you time here at Basenotes! How many sprays do you use? Perhaps you need to increase the number of sprays.

 

[Cruzsdaddy]

4 sprays, one on each side of neck/upper chest area & each wrist

One of the easiest ways to enhance projection and strength is to spray it on, wait 15 seconds, then spray directly over where you previously sprayed.

The downside - you use twice as much fragrance.

You could also check whether your skin is weaking the scent (it does happen), so that some moisturiser may help. Just spray some on your skin and some on a piece of paper, and check them three hours later.
Regards,
Renato

You can try spraying it on your clothes.
Some say to apply an unscented body lotion before fragrance application to enhance longevity.

Welcome! Seconding the advice to repeat as much and as often as possible the various testing experiences-as correctly pointed out before-both with a varying amount of sprays and/or on (at least fragrance proof) fabric (s).

I) Consider not spraying your upper chest as you may go anosmic to the fragrance and not be able to smell it on yourself. For example, I spray the back of my neck, shoulders and elbow pits.

2) Spray your clothes, such as the shoulders and arms. Test first on an inside area to make sure your fragrance doesn’t stain.

3) Ask others for feedback. Can they still smell your fragrance after several hours? If so, then you are still plenty fragrant, you just can’t smell it yourself. Bleu de Chanel is notorious for this affect on the user. They can’t smell it, but everyone around them is choking out.

Good luck!

I was thinking nearly the exact same thing… let a bit hit your clothes and apply an unscented body lotion before spraying on skin. Best wishes.

I have done this with some success on weaker fragrances. Basically layering a fragrance on top of itself 👍🏻

Welcome!! Just a note, the top notes (what you smell the most) will fade fairly quickly - maybe 5 minutes’ish. After that air flow over the areas you sprayed will lift the fragrance. For instance you mentioned you spray your neck. Walk backwards and you should smell your fragrance, which means others will when you’re walking around… not so much just sitting. That’s sillage (scent trail). As you move up in strength (EDP, Parfum) all that get stronger. But EDT strength can last all of 6+hrs! Good luck!
