 ml> yes and "cheap" can be a modifier of "men" or "cologne"...

In this case, because the (') implies ownership, cheap doesn't modify
men's, it modifys cologne. How about; 'expensive men's cologne'

Are men expensive or is the cologne expensive?

He bought some expensive men's cologne!

 ml>> Women use Chanel to attract but succumb to men's cheap cologne.

 RW>> Both your and my versions are correct...

 ml> and mine is short enough to make a tagline from ;)

and? from? There's also an English grammar rule about using an idiom at
the beginning of a sentence and/or a preposition at the end of a sentence.

(idiom) mine is short enough to make a tagline (preposition).

i.e. mine is short enough to make a tagline.
