It’s not necessarily what to avoid because different scents do different things to different skins and that’s unique to *you* but if I can smell or worse, taste your cologne from 10ft away, you have too much. As a woman I love says “you don’t need to smell like a French whore!” (in a very Jersey accent.) If you’re using cologne oil, put it on pulse points, if using spray spritz in the air, not on yourself. Someone should have to get up close and personal to really smell you, like a hug.
