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.                      R\%/itt                     --- Twit(t) Filter v2.1 (C) 2000-10        * Origin: Roiz Flying \A/ Service * South Texas * USA * (1:387/22)    |
