Therefore, the aim is for it to be wide enough to break away from the crowd. The intimacy of a date means that the sphere of projection should be carefully reduced to be subtle and enticing.
The fragrance should seduce the person and draw them towards you rather than push them away. Use fragrance sparingly and aim for a lowered, controlled projection sphere that centres around the base of the neck. There are two schools of thought in using fragrances on a date. One is to seduce someone romantically whilst the other is seducing passionately.
If the date goes as planned, you may find someone intimately close to you. Romantically, you want the fragrance to be like a comforting blanket that envelops them. A simple spray at the base of the throat should be more than sufficient.
If the more likely outcome are throes of passion then a bolder fragrance choice and sphere are perhaps more desirable. This means keeping the sphere tight but intense. A spray on each jugular followed by applying fragrance on the chest should provide centralised cover. Choosing the right fragrance for a date can be a stressful experience.

You mentioned that behind the knees would throw off the projection sphere. Would you not recommend it at all or does it have its uses?

In the scenario of a night out, I may make the exception of applying on clothes as textiles will provide better longevity. How does one spray behind the ears without getting it on their hair? I feel like that is almost impossible to do. If your hair is a little long, just pull it up before your spray. Would you recommend always spraying at least one spray on the nape to leave that sillage and great smell trail? When you say spray the shoulder joint. Can you clarify?
Are you suggesting you spray the scent onto your clothes? This tends to offer a slow burn, which can work quite well in producing a decent scent bubble.

Interesting article. The areas to spray depending on the occasion I found particularly interesting. I do have a question though.
