Behind the scenes[]

The difference between an "eau de toilette" and a "perfume" is the level of ingredient concentration. A perfume is more concentrated, containing a stronger smell than a eau de toilette. A cologne is generally considered a male variant of perfume although officially cologne is a less concentrated version of eau de toilette.

Cloud Strife has the option to wear perfume in Final Fantasy VII, listed as cologne, as part of a female disguise to infiltrate Don Corneo's mansion to rescue Tifa Lockhart in "To Corneo Hall".
