Jake: "you do not slather it onto your skin like aftershave" - unfortunately, there are quite a few men out there who failed to learn this tidbit.
Hint: if I can smell you coming before I can see you coming, there's something wrong. That means that the worst slather offenders are probably using cheap cologne I can so see a gender-enlightened, metro-sexual America having men embrace the word "perfume" or "parfume.

Traditionally, colognes are a safe choice for fragrances at a lower cost. This is the basis of difference in cologne vs perfume. It lasts for only two hours at the most. Eau fraiche, however, contains the least amount of alcohol because it is diluted with water.
Because of the concentration of the perfume essence, it costs more per ounce than all the other types of fragrance. It also generally has greater longevity on the skin than more diluted products, and it is used more sparingly.
So while the price of a true perfume might look shocking, you might find that it offers more value to you than would expect.
