Why is ethanol commonly used in perfumes and aftershaves?

Ethanol, like other alcohols, is a colourless liquid with a sweet distinctive smell.

Moreover, it is volatile -- due to its tendency to evaporate quickly, it adds an effect on the perfume which helps spread its smell (or diffuse) at a faster rate. Like most alcohols, ethanol also has a cooling effect on the skin, which is evidently soothing, hence an effective solvent for aftershaves.
