The only time I will spray on clothes is when I have a week fragrance and know I am going to be out all day so so be coming home in the evening to shower and wear another fragrance.
I find it annoying when fragrances rub off on to clothing. I have one that makes the neck of my white t-shirts look yellowish and not just that if there are days I would like to wear more than one fragrance I find it annoying that a freshly washed set of clothes can end up smelling of a fragrance for days after washing them. This annoys me for 2 reasons. One being it could be a shirt with a special print that I love and could fade with being washed in time so having to wash them after only one wear increases the chance of fading.
The 2nd is that I just don’t like in general that a freshly washed shirt etc has to be washed in such a short time due to fragrance being stuck to it and wishing to wear that same shirt at night but with a different fragrance. Cost of living is going up a lot recently so it costs a lot of money on washing products and not only that but to run the washing machine on electricity. So after only half a day of wearing a shirt and then having to clean it again is kind of crazy tbh.
The kind of fragrances i would deliberately spray on is maybe something like smart dress for a night out for a special event like a birthday night out and know the clothes will be getting washed after the night out as I won’t wear them again for a good while as I don’t go out to for night time events like that often anymore.
The other time like I say is if I am going to be out for the majority of the day and know a certain fragrance won’t last the entire time I am out.
If I am trying to avoid getting them on clothing I do exactly what you asked. Spray on to myself and let it dry on to my skin before I put on any upper clothing. The time before I put clothing on after spraying will vary depending on the time it takes for some fragrance oil to dry in.
