Question:
I still say Carven Vetiver is weak, by any standard.

Answer:
You have just explained what you do with scents that diasappear quickly. By way of contrast you could have sprayed on some Joop, Chrome, Issey, Eternity, Photo, A*men etc before leaving your house, and still have them on you when you got home (or in some cases, when you got home the day after as well).
Does this not prove that there is indeed such a thing as weak scents? Not to mention the very weak scents?

Agent Provocateur is also quite sharp initially. That friend must have some kind of stealth skin.

Originally Posted by trumpet_guy I still say Carven Vetiver is weak, by any standard. Ditto. But it was the first one I tried double dosing in with success (i.e. spraying on as per normal, waiting a minute, then spraying exactly over the points I'd previously sprayed). The staying power increased quite well, but I use it up at twice the rate.

Answer:
the lightest/least long lasting scents i've smelt on me before are Vera Wang for men and Cool Water Deep.

Answer:
when you think you cant smell yourself anymore...alot of it has to do with your nose growing accustomed to the smell...
for me the object i try to achieve with my fragrances is to be slightly noticable when standing next to someone....not to announce to the world that "A*Men is in the house"

Answer:
I think that the title of this post is silly. It's like saying there's no such thing as heavy scents or no such thing as sweet scents. I'm thinking of writing a post called "There's no such thing as a Lavender note". It would make about as much sense.

He is saying there is no such thing as a weak scent because in his experience the weakness of a given scent can be compensated by using more of it. There is no way to counterbalance a lavender note so that it no longer exists.
I agree to a certain extent with the original poster of this thread. I disagree in the sense that there are obviously some scents that are weaker than others, but I agree in the sense that I think the vast majority of scents (99%), even ones that are said to be weak by many on these boards, are far more detectable than we realize, especially if we take the originial poster's advice and spray like crazy.
p.s.- Black XS is to me a pretty strong fragrance... spraying like that isn't miserable and suffocating to you?!?

Answer:
Absurd theory. The fact that you have to use more proves that it is weaker.

Answer:
Weak scents? 4711 anybody?
