Q&A for How to Apply Body Spray

No, there isn't any sex-specific harmful effect. The only difference is what scents are available, and the strength of the scents. Just because you're a girl, there is no reason why you can't wear scents marketed for men. Don't buy into the myth of gender-specific marketing.

Body spray is a light scented mist, whilst perfume is a strongly fragranced spray.

Use lotion before body spray.

Definitely not, that could cause it to erupt. It also might not be usable afterwards.

Body sprays are typically alcohol based and do not last as long as cologne. Cologne scents tend to be stronger, more concentrated, and will last longer.

Not really, because body sprays do not last that long.

Yes, but go easy on it. You don't want to permeate the room.

The scent will fade, but you could take it with you and spray some on every time you go to the bathroom.

It depends on which body spray you use. Some can last from 6-8 hours, and some can last 24 hours; it all depends.

Body spray is meant to be worn as a cologne, while deodorant keeps armpits dry and prevents odors from developing.

Deodorant is used on armpits. Body spray is for your whole body. One common method of using it is spraying it into the air in front of you, and then walking through it.

Yes, but it could be a bit overwhelming.

It's better not to do that, but if those scents smell nice together, you may use them - but don't spray too much.

Yes! Men usually use cologne though.

Applying it in the morning would make the most sense, if you want the smell to last throughout the day. Apply regular deodorant when you get out of the shower at night.

No. Deodorant is specifically applied in the armpits, while body fragrance can be applied anywhere you like. Coco Chanel once famously said, "Apply perfume everywhere you want to be kissed." Finally, both smell good, but only deodorant is designed specifically to stop sweating and body odors.

No, do not use body mist on your face. It might contain alcohol, which could burn your eyes. Pump one spray in your hair for the best result.

A body spray is more of a fragrance mist, like perfume, antiperspirants affect your body odor, along with preventing sweating (to some extent). Deodorant just prevents body odor.

Cologne can be used by women and men. It was originally primarily marketed to and used by men, but there is cologne not made specifically for men, and there really isn't a problem with a woman using men's cologne, because they aren't that different.

It's really your personal preference. Usually though, if you wear it every day you might want to use a light perfume or rely mostly body spray to avoid being overpowering. Be aware that what you wear affects others too.

Use the body mist for everyday wear and use the perfume only for more formal/special occasions. That way, you will keep the perfume for best.
