QCan cologne go in a carry-on?

Short answer: Yes. Under TSA's liquids rule, cologne in containers of 3.4 oz (100 ml) or less can go in your carry-on, inside your one quart-size liquids bag. Larger bottles need to go in checked luggage. Always check the latest TSA guidance before you fly.
Carry-on tips
- Check the size on the bottle. It's the container size that counts, not how full it is.
- Use a travel atomizer to decant a few sprays from a big bottle.
- Pack it in your liquids bag so screening is quick.
Checked bags
Full-size bottles can go in checked luggage. Wrap them in clothing and keep the cap on to protect the sprayer.
