Expect about 2–4 hours. The scents of our colognes are built primarily from essential oils — the source of their botanical depth and breadth — and natural botanicals are less tenacious than the synthetics that push some fragrances to all-day wear. The oil base also holds the scent close to the skin rather than projecting it outward. Reapply to pulse points anytime you'd like to refresh it.

Roll a single pass onto pulse points, meaning wrists, the base of the throat, behind the ears. This is where circulation warms the skin and releases the scent gradually. Use less than you expect because oil concentrates build quickly, so start light and add more to achieve desired intensity.

Every material is dosed within IFRA guidelines for leave-on products. Essential oils are potent botanicals and sensitivity varies, so patch test on your inner arm before first use if you react to any listed ingredient.

Neither is better, they serve different purposes. Oil opens gently, skips the alcohol bite, and stays close to the skin, so what you smell on application is what you wear. Alcohol projects further and fills a room; oil is a personal, more intimate way to wear a scent.

Fragrance is personal. If your first Craftsman Soap cologne isn't the right fit, email us at hello@craftsmansoap.com within 30 days and we'll help you find a better one. That may mean a recommendation, store credit toward another scent, or simply an honest conversation about what you're looking for. We'd rather help you find the right fragrance than lose a customer over the wrong one.
