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!

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.
