Samsara, Bob Marley bro,
I completely disagree with both of you. FYI, you can say perfume for men too. It seems like both of have lived in the US, as both of you mentioned about "cologne".People in Europe say perfume.

- Perfume, also called extract or extrait perfume, can include 15-40% perfume concentrates. This is the purest form of scented product and is the most expensive as a result.
- Eau de parfum
contains about 7-15% perfume concentrates. This is the most popular and
common form of perfume. It provides a long-lasting fragrance and
generally tdoesn't cost as much as extract perfume.
- Eau de toilette
has around 1-6% perfume concentrates. This makes for a light scent that
doesn't linger as long as the more intense versions. It was originally
intended to be a refreshing body splash to help people wake up in the
morning.
- Eau de cologne is sometimes used interchangeably with the term eau de toilette. However, the concoction began as the name of a light, fresh fragrance mixed with citrus oils and was made popular by Napoleon. Some perfumers today have a version of this called eau fraiche.
