How many sprays in a bottle of cologne?

[Doc4]

You know, the 100 ml standard-large sized bottle. I'd have posted a "how long does a cologne last" but I'd get answers about how to store the cologne ... nah, I want to know how many years (decades ) it will take me to work through my current stash of cologne.

And yes, I already know that "it depends" on the individual atomiser; I'm just looking for an aprox lifespan (number of applications).

Thanks guys ... enquiring minds want to know.

I've been working on a 3.4oz bottle of Acqua di Parma since last June and I'm about half-way done with it.

Typically 5-10 sprays = 1 ml. So 100 ml is 500-1000 sprays. From then on it depends on your usage. I have about 25 colognes on the go at any given time and while I have favorites, the rotation is large enough that they last several years (more that 15 in the case of a couple of them).

Obviously if you use one cologne and use 5-10 sprays a day, a normal bottle will be gone in a few months.

Many sprays. I just got the 9 vial sampler from penhaligon's I like variety and IMO i think it's better to have many samples the one huge bottle only for the fact is you can use a new scent each month rather tthan the same thing for what took years for me to use a 100 ML bottle.

The issue I have is with a large scent collection, I won't go through any of them before they start to "turn." I just had to dump 1/4 of a BdP because it ran out of gas 10 minutes after I applied. But I had it about 7 years.

I now have to consider getting a "frag" cooler and it's putting my AD in my face. Ugh.

For the bad ones....too many; for the good ones...not enough
