Is cologne really that cool?

Smelling good is cool.

Highly doubt there’s any causation between you wearing a cologne and the quality of your dates.

I don't think cologne really matters much, but it doesn't hurt either ime.

Depends. How much are you using?

Some guys take a bath in it, which is overkill. Kinda like when I was raising my nephew back in the day and he'd gotten into the Axe body wash stuff ... If I can barely stand the smell because of how much he used, some girl stuck in a car with him is gonna be rolling the window down and trying to jump out.

/u/rocknrollchuck has a guide, and here's an excerpt about it:

Here's what you can do:

Start with one spray and see for how long you can smell it on yourself. If you can barely detect it within 30 minutes, then you can allow yourself to put some more.

Ideally, on the following day put on two sprays. If you can smell it comfortably (i.e. it doesn't make you choke or feel uncomfortable) within 30 minutes, then this may be the right amount to put on.

Remember that you, as the wearer, can smell your cologne less than other people can. The reason is that you get used to it – your nose gets desensitized. This is why others can detect it at much smaller amounts.

If, within half an hour of putting it on, you can smell your cologne by moving around without it overwhelming you, you've put on the right amount.

*2 sprays is a good amount to use for most fragrances starting out.
