How long does a bottle of Aftershave/Perfume last you?

You know it goes off ? ..you might not notice but other people would notice a stale or heavy smell...

( I used to love Kouros)..

I have 5 or 6 different perfumes they last as long as how ever often I use them... sometimes as long as 5 years

My bottle still smells the same as it did when I bought it.
I think the expiry date is to get the buyer to buy more often.
 

I don't use either one. I used aftershave for a while. A couple of years, maybe. I was in my late 20s, working a job that required me to wear a suit, and I guess that made me feel like the kind of man who used aftershave. The bottle might have been 6oz, or maybe 4oz, and it was still half full when I threw it out. Pretty sure it was called Axe.
 
This thread reminded me of a neighbor that had a Rainbow vacuum cleaner with a water system for dust collection.

She used to pour her old perfumes and colognes into the water filter to freshen the air in her home.

Shaving my beard & removing that stupid some on the sides & middle top where hair grows, leaving a high forehead & the pattern bald in the back that's a lot to cover. I won't let it grow so that the other stupid "look I have hair" comb over is there.

So around the house Letric shave works good for keeping razor burn in check. When going out I have to shave early because my wife like me to use fahrenheit aftershave that she bought for me. When on, with so much to cover I need it to dissipate some. The 100ml. bottle she bought is about 1/2 gone after 3 years.
 
I use "Brut" I got an 8 oz. bottle back in 2010 for a Christmas present. I still have 85% of it. I don't go out that much to use it. The most time my shower gel has a good smell so I don't need anything else.

what gets me is older women in grocery stores that you can smell their perfume 2 aisles away. Some people say she must have taken a bath in it.
 
I've had some last me a few years. I use lighter scents in the summer, a little heavier in the winter. What bothers me is that sometimes a perfume will last all day and another for just a couple of hours.
I try those tester bottles in the store. A spot here and a spot there and when I get home I don't know which spot is which. I need to bring a magic marker with me.
 
Whenever I order from Sephora, they offer free samples. Most of them go to kids and Gkids. If I keep one or two, they never get down to the bottom. Basically it was only worn when travelling and well ….

DH uses Clinique aftershave because it has no or little scent. It probably lasts 6 - 8 months. Before that he used Lab and they quit making the aftershave. Guess people wanted a scent.

Any event in the seniors centre prohibits wearing of scents, by men or women. TG.
 
I buy perfumes usually in the 3 oz. size. It depends on how often I use them for how long they last. I've had one small bottle for about 5 or 6 years as I don't use it that often, I do like it though, it was a gift.

I have about 3 that are half full and 1 that is almost gone and I've had the former a few years, the latter a few months. I also have a very new one that is down about an inch now.
I spray perfumes often..their aromas make me feel good--maybe it's like aromatherapy for me.
 
I have 5 bottles of cologne in the bathroom and haven't used any in years except to spray my clothes so they don't smell musty. Mostly Channel Bleu and Calvin Klein Obsession Night.
 
My last bottle of Jovan White Musk cologne lasted me about 10 months. At the rate I'm going with the current bottle which is being underused due to the pandemic, it will probably last me two years. I opened the 3.5 oz bottle at the end of January and have a little more than half left.
