Why this number

Don't over-spray. Happy for Men sits closer to the skin, so you have room to add a spray if you want more reach. Keep it to a scent bubble about an arm's length wide.

Where to spray it

Placement matters as much as the count. Hit the warm pulse points and let body heat do the diffusing. Full anatomical breakdown here: where to spray cologne →
