How to open the box

To open the box of Rue 21 Red Cologne, you will need to locate the seal or flap that holds the box closed. This could be a sticker, a piece of tape, or a small plastic flap.

If the box has a sticker or piece of tape, gently lift and peel it back, being careful not to tear the packaging. You can use a thin, flat object like a butter knife or a letter opener to help you lift the sticker without damaging the box.

If the box has a plastic flap, carefully insert your fingernail or a thin, flat object under the flap to lift and release it.

Once you have released the seal or flap, you can carefully open the box. If it is a two-part box, there will likely be a flap or lid that you can lift or slide open. If it is a one-part box, you may need to gently squeeze or bend the box to release the contents.

Be cautious when opening the box, especially if using sharp objects, as you do not want to damage the cologne bottle inside. Take your time and work slowly and carefully to ensure you do not spill or damage the product.

Once the box is open, you should be able to remove the cologne bottle and enjoy your new fragrance!

How to spray the cologne

To spray the Rue 21 CJ Red Cologne, first unscrew the cap from the bottle. Then, hold the bottle 3-6 inches away from your body and spray onto your skin. Aim for heated areas of the body, such as the neck, chest, pulse points, forearms, or inner elbows, as the heat will help diffuse the scent. Start with a light application—one spray on one area like the neck or forearms is enough. If you notice that the scent fades quickly, choose another area to spray next time.

It is generally recommended to spray cologne directly onto the skin rather than clothing, as fragrances are designed to interact with the oils and pH of the skin. This helps to enhance and prolong the scent. Applying cologne to the skin also prevents the fragrance from staining or damaging your clothes.

How to store the cologne

Storing your cologne correctly is essential to prolong its shelf life and prevent it from going bad. Here are some tips on how to store your cologne:

Choosing the Right Storage Space

• Keep your cologne in a dark, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Sunlight can damage the bottle and its contents.
• Store your cologne in an area with a consistent temperature, avoiding extreme heat or cold.
• Avoid storing your cologne in humid areas or places with temperature fluctuations, like the bathroom or kitchen.
• Consider storing your cologne in the refrigerator if it's not too cold. The consistent temperature can help preserve your cologne.
• A closet, particularly one away from windows or drafts, is a good option for storing your cologne.

Selecting a Storage Container

• Keep your cologne in its original bottle if it is airtight and has a spray nozzle. These features help prevent contamination and control the amount dispensed.
• Store your cologne in its original box, as it provides additional protection from light and temperature changes.
• Place the cologne bottles in decorative boxes for added protection and style.
• For travel, purchase smaller, travel-sized bottles or transfer your cologne to empty containers to avoid carrying large amounts.

Preventing Damage

• Always keep the cap on the bottle when not in use to minimize oxygen exposure and prevent evaporation.
• Avoid shaking the cologne bottle unless specifically instructed to do so, as this can introduce excess air and cause oxidation.
• Limit the use of applicators, as they can introduce bacteria and oils into the bottle. If using applicators, opt for disposable ones.
• Keep fragile bottles on lower shelves or in safe places to prevent them from falling and shattering.

How to apply the cologne

To apply Rue 21 Red Cologne, or indeed any cologne, there are a few key steps to follow. Firstly, always apply cologne to clean skin, preferably immediately after showering as this opens your pores and helps the scent absorb. Hold the bottle around 3-6 inches from your body and apply to heated areas of the body such as the neck, chest, pulse points, forearms and inner elbows. The heat will help diffuse the scent throughout the day.

It is recommended to start with a light application, perhaps just one spray on the neck or forearm. You can always add another spray in a different area if you feel the scent fades too quickly. It is also a good idea to ask a friend or family member for their opinion, as you can become used to the scent and not notice it as strongly after a while.

It is best to avoid spraying cologne directly onto your clothes as this can prevent the scent from mixing with your natural oils, and may also damage certain fabrics. Similarly, avoid splashing the cologne onto your skin, as this can lead to over-application. Instead, place one finger over the opening of the bottle and gently tip it before dabbing the scent onto your body.

Remember, cologne should be discovered, not announced. It should be a subtle enhancement to your image, a hint of fragrance that draws people in, rather than something that smacks them over the head.

How to close the bottle

To close the bottle of Rue 21 Red cologne, follow these steps:

• Ensure the nozzle is facing directly towards the centre of the bottle.
• Place your thumb on the nozzle and apply gentle pressure downwards.
• At the same time, use your other hand to twist the cap back on. You should feel a slight click as the cap locks into place.
• Check that the cap is secure by gently pulling on it. If it is locked, you will feel resistance, and the cap should not come off.
• Store the bottle in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight.

It is important to close the bottle securely to prevent leakage and preserve the quality of the fragrance.
