Maybe I'm just uneducated in the subject, but in terms of colloquial usage, perfume is intended for women and cologne is intended for men.
I think it would be safe to claim that most Americans would agree and would assume eau de toilette to be an air freshener you spray after taking a stinky poop.
Technically, it's eau de toilette, eau de parfum, and parfum, in rising order of concentration, and therefore lasting smell (and also price). Cologne is usually a different category from perfumes, but is at roughly eau de toilette concentration. At least that's how it works in France.
