How To Properly Apply Cologne

Depending on the strength of the cologne, use anywhere from 1 to 5 sprays. Most people go with 2 or 3 sprays. If the strength of the cologne is an 'eau fraiche', you can easily use 3-5, or if the cologne itself is especially light. If the cologne is of parfum strength or is a winter scent, use sparingly. Typically, heavier scents like those should only be sprayed 1 to 2 times.

The cologne in question should be sprayed on pulse points, or points on the body where there is a pulse/vein/major artery. Spraying on this point allows the cologne to develop properly due to it being heated by the pulse point. Some claim this is broscience, but it works well for me and many others. Usual pulse points/application spots include the sides of the neck where the carotid artery is, the base of the neck, the back of the neck (more rarely applied here, good for people to smell you after you pass by), the wrists, the inner elbow inserts, and the back of the knees. Experiment with it and see what works for you.

Niche vs. Designer Fragrances

To make a long boring story short, niche versus designer colognes are based on storefronts selling the particular fragrance. Niche colognes are a little more rare/difficult to find. Generally only sold online or at boutiques. Designer fragrances are more popular/easier to find, sold in a lot of popular retailers.
