You are not on blood thinners are you?
I don’t recognize any of those specifically. Solid colognes have a reputation for short longevity in general. I am not familiar with the ones you mentioned. I am also not familiar with bath and body works fragrances.I have several EDPs from Duke Cannon, solid colognes from Cremo and Duke Cannon, and Bath & Body Works Midnight. The Midnight lasts a long time (6+ hours) on the three friends who have tried it; for me it's undetectable after 45 minutes.
Nope. I apply cologne (I understand what EDT, EDP, etc. are but I use 'cologne' to mean any masculine scent) after the following prepping:You are not on blood thinners are you?
It seems like my skin "drinks" any cologne I use. I have a friend who is a fragrance junkie, and any of the 8+ hour scents leave my skin in about an hour. Gone, like nobody can tell I'm even wearing cologne.
I find myself buying the cheaper brands (Cremo, Every Man Jack, Duke Cannon, Distillery Series, etc.) because I know I'll have to continually re-apply.
Budget is low. If I have enough to buy a $20 bottle of Cremo or Duke Cannon, I'm happy.The reason you aren't getting any longevity is because of the fragrances you've mentioned - it's that simple. There are many, many fragrances around, both vintage and current, that are real powerhouse/beast mode frags that will solve your problem. Since you didn't mention any kind of budget, hard to give you specific recommendations, but here are some suggestions:
Vintage and semi-vintage versions: Davidoff by Davidoff, Chanel Antaeus, YSL Kouros, Dior Eau Sauvage EdP (2012), Lapidus Pour Homme, Dior Homme Intense, Dior Homme Parfum, Creed Aventus, Bogart One Man Show....
Current versions: Pretty much any Amouage fragrance, pretty much any Tauer fragrance (specifically L'Air du Desert Marocain), Parfum de Nicolai New York Intense, Giorgio Beverly Hills, Dior Fahrenheit....
Too many to mention.
One way to see if your nose is not the issue is just put your cologne or aftershave on the back of a business card size thick paper and you should be able to notice scents periodically for a least 16 hrs or greater.It seems like my skin "drinks" any cologne I use.

I've tried applying a little moisturizer before the cologne to help it last longer, but no good.
I really didn't want to be the first person to mention that Cremo, Duke Cannon and Bath and Body Works aren't exactly world-renowned fragrance houses, but I feel pretty confident that this is the issue that the OP is having. On a budget? I get it! Not everyone is crazy enough to drop $500+ on a fragrance (sigh...). But as others have stated, it would make sense to start with the classic fragrance companies. Heck, I saw a Guerlain at Marshall's for like $18 not that long ago. My recommendation would be to look into the kinds of fragrances that you think that you would like, and research some of the better examples of the style. You may be shocked to find how many quality "older" fragrances are available online for pennies on the dollar.The reason you aren't getting any longevity is because of the fragrances you've mentioned - it's that simple.

Find yourself some original quorum. I’m pretty sure I can still smell it 30yrs after it was sprayed.

Now that stuff is inexpensive and boy is it strong and lasts for ever! Fantastic!Grey Flannel or Fahrenheit. Apply liberally.
A handful of Grey Flannel splashed on with a "YAHH!," and they'll get out of your way. Women will blink admiringly.
Maybe it just stings their eyes.

+1I have found that with some fragrances spraying on clothes and hair rather than skin increases longevity.
