Some themes include citrus, spicy, woodsy and leather, which indicate the base fragrance for the perfume or cologne for men. Unisex fragrances that can be used as perfumes for men or for women are also becoming increasingly more popular.

Perfume for men or women has a higher concentration of oil in the fragrance than does cologne for men or women, so the fragrance will last longer and require less quantity. But in reality, especially where men’s fragrances are concerned, the terminology "perfume for men" or "cologne for men" is simply a matter of personal and cultural preference.
