Hello, hope this message finds all of you well, I wanted to know, what is your fragrance application routine? Do you just grab and spray or do you methodically spray?
would like to know the number of sprays, which parts of the body you spray and if you spray your clothes or not.
would also love to know how would it differ based on the situation.
Hello! I appreciate this question and look forward to seeing other's responses. I consider myself a light-handed sprayer with 3 sprays for daily wear of most fragrances. One behind the neck (to prevent anosmia), and another on each wrist. For most of my fragrances, this is enough to create a small cloud that only extends far enough for those who hug me or stand right next to me to detect. I don't wear fragrance for anyone but myself. If it's a particularly soft fragrance, I might add a fourth under my shirt or sweater. For at least two of my strongest fragrances, I spray once and walk into it (Coven, Andrea Maack, and 195AC, Agatho). I'm not trying to give anyone a migraine.
I am also light-handed. Wrists, hips, rarely the clavicle. I will keep it on the skin and perhaps spritz on my sweater if it's a thick one or the fragrance is light. I layer about a third of the time. The dabbers I will be more liberal with. I use a scented body lotion that smells like jasmine and rose as a base. I can usually still smell my perfume on my clothes by the end of the day. Honestly, I think it's just my "skin chemistry" and personal preference. I'm sensitive to smell. Light freshies like ELDO You or Someone Like You I can be more generous with, but that comes in the form of reapplications rather than spraying a ton on at once.
It depends on the perfume. I love to spray perfume on my forearms or in the crook of my elbow, I can smell it the best that way. Maybe one on my chest too. I use three to four sprays when it concerns a lighter perfume, only one to three sprays when it concerns a stronger perfume. Some perfumes are so strong that I won't push the sprayer fully and I will create just tiny drops on multiple places of my body. When perfume get transfered to clothes, I've noticed that the fabric matters a lot too: I like perfume on linnen, cotton, all natural fabrics actually (I'm allergic to wool unfortunately). On acrylic fabrics, perfume sometime doesn't perform as good, I think. I wish terry cloth would become in fashion once more (it was long ago for a brief moment), I love scents on terry cloth 
I agree with @Ringtale, it really depends on the perfume. If it`s something with powerful silage and longevity like 
Fresia or 
Red Tobacco or 
Wūlóng Chá Extrait de Parfum I go lightly on my wrists and behind my ears. I do the same for those that have a more complex evolution like 
Chergui Eau de Parfum or 
Rebel. Others, that are not such beast performers or are more linear, like 
Le Chèvrefeuille or 
Iris de Malte, I spray on my clothes and hair as well. And for anything in between, I do both skin (pulse points on wrists, elbows, neck) and clothes, depending on the effect I want to project that day and the mood I happen to be in.
Same with me, depends on the perfume. Wrists are my absolute must thing, so with very strong fragrances I do either 2 sprays (both wrists) or 3 sprays (wrists & hair). With normal projection fragrances I do 4 sprays (both wrists and both sides of the neck). With weaker fragrances I do 5 sprays (2 x wrists, 2 x neck and decollete) or 6 sprays (2 x wrists, 2 x neck, decollete and hair).
I was a wrist girl and light “pat pat” behind my ears as I was taught, but now I’m more of a shoulders and forearms sprayer, in fall/winter at least. Like 2 to 4 spray or sometimes 6 (if I want to finish a fragrance or if it’s really light)
I wash my hands a lot so anything on the wrists get wash up really fast.
I avoid the chest and clavicule area as it’s under my nose and I don’t want to get nose blind and alcohol is really bad for the skin especially on the long run.
Perfuming in summer is the most tricky part as perfume exposed to sun can stains the skin forever (I have one stain on my right hand from that, as because I used to playwith my mom samples)
So I put fragrance wherever I’m sure they will be no exposition to sun whatsoever, we can say then that it’s outfit dependent!
