You'll ruin that pipe if you introduce cologne scent oils into it. Try a deep clean,
First, no. Gross.
Second, clean your pipe inside and out.
Third, there are numerous ways to get rid of a ghost or other bad smell. Examples include a hot water flush, coffee grounds in the bowl, alcohol and elbow grease, and various other methods. This forum has many threads on each of the.described cleaning methods.
Fourth, spraying cologne or perfume on something that smells doesn't fix the issue. Think of a taxi driver with bad body odor that tries hiding the smell. It's not hidden, not covered, and makes a worse smell.

I've used the salt treatment with good results. As others have mentioned there are various ways to get rid of a ghost

Definitely don't go anywhere near your pipe with Old Spice or Brut.

What does it smell like? I love the smell of my pipes so I’m curious if there’s actually something foul in your pipe or if you just don’t like standard aroma.
Sounds like you’ve got a ghosted pipe, perhaps a foul ghost at that. However, introducing a demon will not remove the ghost and will only compound the problem.
The wake and bake is strong with this thread.
You can absolutely spray cologne into the chamber of your pipe. It's not illegal. The physics work. You'll just completely screw up your pipe. So, can you spray cologne into your pipe, of course. Should you spray cologne into your pipe? Of course not.
Clean it out, scrape away the cake in the chamber, scrub out the airway from the chamber to the bit. S/A treatment to follow.
Oh goodness no!
As Jacob said, you may introduce new oils into the wood that would permanently ghost your pipe—-or at least for a LONG time.
Do the deep clean method!

Can you? Sure! You can do whatever you set your mind to. We believe in you!
Should you? Absolutely not.

What the hell?
I am not sure if this was a serious post or one to be silly. But… if it is serious….. there is no way I would want to smoke a pipe that had cologne sprayed into it.
If your pipe smells “bad” or “sour” I would suggest a careful cleaning.
Putting cologne into the bowl of your pipe would only introduce things you would not want to be smoking.
In the greater scheme of things…. I am rather put off by the “scent” industry…. But especially the electric room devices that you put heated oils and other liquids in. None eliminates odors…. they only add another HEAVY odor on top of what is there. All the odors can get overwhelming fast.
Back when malls were active…. I would sometimes enter the mall where my wife wanted to enter and walking into or through stores with “spritzer girls” was a big challenge. Even though they didn’t spritz me with any of their perfumes/colognes/toilet waters….. there was typically a wall odor of many many different scents combining into something overpowering.
Pipes smell like burnt tobacco. Some may find that smell pleasant, okay or awful. Regardless, DO NOT spray cologne in the bowl unless you want to end up throwing the pipe away. As long as the smoke tastes pleasant, it doesn't matter what the bowl smells like.
Just leave wet coffee grounds in the chamber overnight.
