Come to Think of It; What is the Difference Between Perfume and Cologne?

In my opinion,cologne and perfume were the same in the sense of uses,since both gives fragrance.The difference is,cologne doesn't last longer than perfumes.Perfumes were concentrated ones that gives a longer fragrance and expensive perfumes(parfum)stays even after washing and ironing the clothes.

Perfume and cologne are the same. They have the same sweet smell and has the same purpose. The only difference is perfume is more concentrated and more expensive. It normally comes in smaller bottles. A drop of perfume pat on our skin will linger on the whole day. While cologne is more diluted and less expensive. It comes in bigger bottles and is sprayed on the skin.

As far as I know that is the basic difference between them, one is for women and one is for men. Also the fragrances are different for women and men. [b]!!Happy Halloween!! ~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

I always thought it was that perfume was stronger and cost more than cologne(the type that is for women). Of course a man's cologne would have completely different types of smells than a woman's.

basicly the only differnces in the two are the concentration of the fragrent oil used to make them. A cologne is the weakest, most diluted form of a fragrence, then working the way up to the stongest, next comes eau de toilette, then eau de parfum (or perfume) and then the strongest, just plain parfum (perfume) I beleive the reson that the thinking that perfumes are for women and colognes are for men comes from the reasoning that for the longest time, women were the most frequent users of scented products, and as men started using them as well...they usually picked more gentle, muted scents as opposed to strong scents that women wear.

there is bigger difference between the two.cologne dont last unlike perfume last.some perfume when cloth is already laundry and ironing still you can smell the perfume.cologne on the otherhand is more cheaper than perfume.

me too dont know..but me too think like that i think perfumes have more intense smell than colognes...i mean clognes are probably lighter...so anything they maybe but both are pleasant..keep you fresh and feel fresh..so enjoy..
