Cologne is to be used sparringly. Spray once into the air, while shirtless and walk through the cloud. You could also spray a small amount on your wrists, rub it on your other wrist and behind your neck.

A bottle won't last forever and will eventually lose its potency. Keep it out of direct sunlight.

Ya, I got a 3.4 fl oz one, and a 1.7 oz one and both look as though barely any is missing, and that there will be enough for a long time

ended up getting a 3.4oz bottle of Acqua di Gio (her fav) and a 1oz bottle of Bvgari from FragranceX. Pricey but should last me awhile. Now I can finally toss that stuff my brother gave me :D

suggestions at the bottom look pretty good for those interested in getting some cologne. It came up through my Google search, funny site ;)

what's up with them using tobacco scent in colognes?

looking at different cologes, they seem to sell from 1oz, 1.7oz, and 3.4oz. I wear it maybe once a week...how long would a 1oz bottle go for? I think I'd rather get small bottles and then try different kinds when it runs out...

the largest size will always be the better value, but after 3 bottles of cologne, i realized that you can never use up all of it. get the middle or small, depending on how much you like it and think you will use it.

3oz only lasted me a day.

Of course that was using up some I'd bought in HS and wore about twice....used it up years later in an afternoon of applying it to fence posts around the property to drive skunks away. Worked too, they didn't come back for years!

Now do you really want to smell like something that scares skunks?
