Cologne vs. Perfume for Men: Understanding Fragrance Types

Perfume for men is most commonly called cologne.

However, there are other terms you might hear:

* Eau de toilette (EDT): This is a lighter concentration of fragrance than perfume or cologne, but is often used for men's fragrances as well.

* Eau de parfum (EDP): This is a higher concentration of fragrance than EDT, and is becoming more common in men's fragrances. It will typically last longer than an EDT.

* Fragrance: This is a general term that can refer to any scented product, including perfume, cologne, EDT, and EDP.

While "perfume" can technically be used for any fragrance regardless of gender, it's more often associated with women's fragrances.
