DAE wear cologne?
I'm a lady and when I want to get down and fancy, I wear cologne. I just think it smells better than perfume, and it doesn't stank up my clothes. Anyone else do this?

I like the fragrance notes in men's cologne better than the florals in women's scents, but I find that they're typically way too strong for daily use. Now I wear Tokyo Milk (for women) but for some time I really enjoyed Hugo Energise.

Nah, I think it would be weird if I smelled cologne on a woman, I'd probably just think she'd been gettin' some :P I've never been a fan of perfume though either, if I'm going to do a scent I go with a Bath and Body Works body spray, some are really subtle.

I used to spray my shirt with my ex's cologne whenever I spent the night at his place, so that I could smell him the whole day. But no, I never wear it as if it were perfume.

No I wear perfume.

Yes I have been wearing men's cologne instead of perfume, if any scent at all, since I was a kid. It started with using my dad's cheap cologne, and when I got older I started buying one or two of my own. There are only a few perfumes I will wear quite rarely (maybe twice a year). My school has just gone scent-free anyway so now I can't wear anything.

Isn't the difference between the two a matter of the concentration of aromatic compounds as opposed to a male-female divide? I thought the rest was entirely marketing... Well, that and the choice of aromas.
So, being less stinky of a product to begin with, it definitely wouldn't stank up clothes as much, but the scent being better depends on the individual cologne or perfume.
