That'd be pretty effective.
Driving a ferrari does not mean that the civic doesn't exist, but it'd be pretty hard to look at a civic when a ferrari is screaming by. Does that mean that the civic has no horsepower? No. Does that mean that it's weak comparitively? Yes.
There are weak scents. There are strong scents. Saying that you have to use more of a scent to even smell it proves that there are weak scents. We're talking comparitively here. On me, Versace Metal Jeans is a weak scent, compared to Chanel pour Monsieur Concentree. Since Metal Jeans was only $20, though, I can't justify NOT buying it because it is an excellent fragrance, just a little weak.

- Rich I think that the original poster is simply trying to say that if you apply a lot of a scent that the effect is no longer weak and that the scent is in fact easily detectable to those around the wearer. Obviously some scents are weaker spray for spray than others.

Yes, there's no such thing as a weak scent. You just have to be creative, right? LV at 43 is supposed to be a master perfumer but if I'm paying LV prices I'd love to get some silage and longevity out of it. I wonder what LV would say. Uomo in NYC is $90.00 for 3.4oz and if you buy it in person you get to pay nearly 10% in city and state sales tax.

Cologne back then was a way to cope with the bad vapours which I'm sure were picked up on clothes and selves due to the amount of pure unadulterated excremement that was everywhere. Not to mention heavy rains which often caused coffins to start reappearing at ground level. I don't know if I could stomach the odors of 1792 London, Paris or Cologne.
The original poster also had the idea of using more area. Go for every pulse point on the body then Armani Code comes up to code. Nope! I'd rather spill a bottle of Armani Code on my pants than Farenheight. a bottle of Farenheight 3.4oz I would report to the emergency room.

The title of this thread made me think of another thread entitled something vaugely like "What do people mean when they say a scent is sweet?" I mean, come on! I'm sorry if I sound insulting to the people who posted these two threads, I'm not insulting you, I just can't fathom what these posts are trying to get at.
