I read a long time ago to do 1 spritz of cologne to the middle of the chest (for guys), ideally right after showering. I think the body heat and it usually being covered up by clothing helps with the overall scent. Can't remember the details.
Also, mom told me when I was a teen, "The only person who should be able to smell your cologne is the person hugging you." That's always been my guide.
It can also depend on you body chemistry some colognes will smell better on someone else but maybe not you. Ive found it good to get a third party’s opinion after youve been wearing it for a couple hours so that most/all of the alcohol has evaporated and the scent has time to set in. Some sents can go really stale where others can mature quite nicely.
When I was younger I was told, "your cologne should be discovered, not announced."
I do 2-3 sprays on my left wrist, dab my two wrists together, then dab my wrists on my neck. Still follows the same rules of only the person hugging you should smell your cologne.
I have no idea what’s better, but I just looked it up, and people recommend NOT rubbing it on anywhere because it can cause the fragrance to change because of heat.
If you ain't glistening, are they even listening?!
