Differences Between Women's Perfume and Men's Cologne

With the wide varieties of scents on the market one can get confused at which fragrance is for a man and which is for a woman. Besides the feminine feel of the perfume bottles what else differentiates men's cologne from women's perfume? Let's take a closer look.

Women's perfume:
A substance that diffuses and emits a fragrant odor, especially a volatile liquid distilled from flowers or prepared synthetically. Perfumes are mainly derived from flowers and fruits. This creates a female scent that men find pleasant. Women's perfume have a longer lasting and more powerful scent. Women only need to apply small amounts to maintain their desired fragrance for a long period of time. Sometimes the scent can last a day or two even after showering.

Men's Cologne:
A scented liquid made of alcohol and various fragrant oils. Men's cologne is commonly made from Cyhypre, Fougere, Spicy, Woody and other less sweet scents. Beside the difference in scent, men's cologne is most often diluted. The scent will not last as long or be as powerful. Men's cologne will not last for more then a day and the scent will be gone after showering. Most cologne also come with a spray applicator for better coverage. Women's perfume that come with a spray applicator are often used more for a misting and walking into.
