Spray-on fragrance
Perfume is a fragrant liquid applied to the body for a pleasant scent, typically stronger and longer-lasting than cologne.
More broadly, perfume is any sweet or pleasant smell: the perfume of roses filled the garden.
As a verb, to perfume is to apply fragrance or to fill with scent: Jasmine perfumed the evening air.
