Easy as pie!!!!  I'm a huge fan of self-tanners and have tried everything under the sun (ha!)!  This XEN-Tan Mousse is super easy to apply and the mitt is the key to how easy this self-tanner goes on and doesn't leave any streaking.  Be sure to shower and exfoliate so that the application goes on and stays on.  The fragrance is doable nothing offensive but I wouldn't put it on when you're starting your day off.  Shower, exfoliate, apply and put your pi's on before hopping into bed for the night.  In the morning take a quick shower and be sure to moisturize.  I was very pleased with the color and it lasted a few days.  If you did back-to-back nights of applying the tanner you would find that the color is a bit more intense and lasts longer.  I haven't had any issues with the tanner staining my clothing or sheets.
