"eau de cologne" never occurred to me because it isn't specific to men!

Perhaps it's a gender thing in France. "Cologne" being the tamer version, for men and "parfum", the stronger one, for women.

"Faux pas" means making a mistake. It doesn't apply only to something which one shouldn't do. It also refers to a snafu of a

moi j'en ai pas…
