Hello Shaun_ca,
Men typically wear cologne designed for men, as it is lighter and
does not cling to clothing as does women's perfume. Women wear perfume
(also parfum), cologne (Eau de Cologne) or toilette water (Eau de
Toilette) depending on their budget!
Different Perfume Strengths are as Follows:
- Eau de Cologne - least concentrated with fragrance lasting up to 1 hour
- Eau de Toilette - concentrated with fragrance lasting up to 2 hours
- Eau de Parfum - concentrated with fragrance lasting up to 3-4 hours
- Cologne or Parfum Classic - highly concentrated with fragrance
lasting up to 5-6 hours

"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."

"Why do some men wear Cologne, and others prefer to wear After Shave?
Cologne's fragrance will generally last much longer than After Shave.
However, many men choose to wear both. The fragrance lasts longer, you
can use less of each, and you get the facial benefit of an After
Shave."

"Even the most virile of history?s men perfumed themselves ? Nero had
a passion for roses and even had his banquets strewn with rose petals,
King David liked to saturate his clothes with aloe and cassia (a type
of cinnamon). Even Napoleon at the beginning of the nineteenth century
recognized its powers. He would only allow the invigorating fragrance
of eau de Cologne and actually believed that the more strong perfumes
incited indolence and lust (which would be detrimental to his troops).
Unfortunately for men (and women too!), Napoleon?s misguided beliefs
helped to spark an odorously austere era in men?s fragrances which
didn't end until the early 1960?s. It was considered over-the-top to
wear anything more than a quick splash of toilet water after a shower
or sport ? and it had to be a ?manly? toilet water, consisting of
citrus (Orange and Lime) top notes and woody base notes (like
Cedarwood and Sandalwood). Components of Oriental fragrances, such as
flowers, musk and amber, were definitely not accepted."
