   I prefer to think of it as: Women spend large amounts of money buying   
   Chanel, but finally succumb to buying cheap cologne instead.   
      
   Note that perfum is made up of 20% to 40% oil and the rest is an essence.   
      
   Note also that cologne is only 3% to 9% oil and the rest is essence and   
   alcohol.   
      
   Men don't have the desire to 'stink' as long as nor as pretty as women,   
   thus they use cologne. It is also cheaper because it doesn't contain the   
   high percentage of oils.   
      
   The oil content of perfum makes the fragrance last longer than   
   that of cologne.
