![]() The standard shelf life of a bottle of cologne varies, but it’s typically three to five years. Some other areas you can apply Vaseline to for a long-lasting effect are your knees, inner elbows and neck. Like moisturizing your skin pre-application (and applying cologne onto damp skin right after a shower), Vaseline creates a sticky surface for the cologne to stick to and allows the formula to last longer than it would have if it were applied straight onto dry skin. If you’re looking to extend the life of your cologne, applying Vaseline to your pulse points (your wrists and neck) before spritzing on your product can be effective. ![]() This can hinder its longevity, and can create nasty stains on your garments. ![]() ![]() While application to your clothes may make your shirt or jacket smell good, it doesn’t allow the cologne to actually hit your skin. This is a faux pas because colognes are meant to mix with the natural oils of your skin, not the fabric of your clothes. That’s fine however, others make the prime mistake of spritzing it directly onto their clothes. Some people prefer misting their cologne into the air and walking through it. Also, many formulas are designed to distribute different notes as they sit on your skin throughout the day, and over-applying can hinder this natural process. While you may think spritzing on half the bottle will make the scent last longer, colognes are meant to be sprayed one to two times (especially if you’re not using the eau de toilette variety).
