The Cowboys quarterback said Wednesday that he has roughly 100 bottles of cologne at his home.
He has so many that he often wears more than one at a time.
“I mix colognes,” Prescott said. “I take two different colognes and spray one and spray another one on top of it.”
His selection process goes as follows.
“It’s more of a mood, the time of day, or I just go with the color of the bottle that’s the color of my clothes,” he said. “Some are just more night time and some are just more clean and vibrant, so they’re day time.”
It’s only fitting that as Prescott’s popularity has grown, he has gone on to create his own “Dak Signature Cologne.” The product became available on his website Dakties.com last November.
How involved was Prescott in the creative process?
“I kind of started straight from base,” he said. “You just get a bunch of oils and scents and you smell them and say, ‘OK, I want to try this and this together.’ Then they do that whole deal and with mine I probably made about five or six combinations and then came back and smelled those combinations after they had done them and then picked one.”
And he didn’t stop there. Next up with something for his female fans.
Prescott said that his team of representatives found while studying analytics that “well over 50 percent” of his fan base is women.
While trying to find a way to honor his late mother, Peggy, he came up with a perfume that combined scents that reminded him of her.
“My dad had a little input,” Prescott said. “Basically telling them the scents she wore, so they already mixed that and already kind of had done that and gave it to me. I went in and, ‘Here’s like three or four that your dad said these were the scents, so we already mixed them together. Do you like these?’ One of them just kind of stuck.”
The result was a product called “4HER.”
“Nothing compares to being able to drop a perfume that smells a little bit like your mom and gives me a lot of memories of her,” Prescott said, “knowing it’s something that she would just be crazy proud of me for doing.”
