Need some help rounding out my aftershave collection

[boogieman_]

I have really wanted to round out my aftershave lately. It seems like I just don't have any variety. In an ideal situation, I would have about 3 or 4 more aftershaves for a good rotation. If I were the type to only use one, it would be Genuine Ogalalla Bay Rum Limes and Peppercorns.

I currently have: Col. Conk's Lime, Pinaud Clubman, Nivea Energy, Genuine Ogalalla Bay Rum Limes and Peppercorns.

As far as soaps, I have some Coconut, Peppermint and Rosemary, Orange Cedarwood and Black Pepper, Bay Rum, Hungarian Lavender, and Barbershop soaps all from Mike's Natural. I also have Bigelow shave cream.

1. I want at least one aftershave that smells sweet.

2. Herby is good, but floral isn't my favorite.

3. I don't know surprise me?

4. Citrus is good, orange or grapefruit would be nice.

I am not a fan of Old Spice, Skin Bracer, nor anything that smells like powder, not a VEG fan, and also not a fan of most common "old school" aftershaves like Brut.

Thanks for any recommendations, I am pretty much at a loss. Oh, also I would like to keep this under about $25-30 each. Less is better, but if there is a great budget breaker I would like to know about that too.

Thanks!

4711. Doesn't get any more old skool than that. The scent is basically lemon/citrus.

Clubman Musk has a sweet smell.
Master Topaz is also sweet but on the powdery side so maybe not for you (Master is inexpensive so worth a try)

Herby? Clubnam Draggon Noir (similar smell to the Guy Larouche Drakkor Noir if you like that)

Herby = Speick!

 

[man00ver]

Sweet: Jovan Musk or Aqua Velva Musk
Citrus/Surprise: Pinaud Citrus Musk, Murray & Lanman's Florida Water
Herbal: Speick, Speick, Speick (it's good, and you should)

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll start giving them a try next time I get some shave stuff.

Speick, Herbissimo Mountain Juniper, D.R. Harris Arlington, and TOBS Mr. Taylor.

How about Old Spice? Easily available, light smell. Also, for a 'sweet' sort of smell I like Stetson. It doesn't have that heavy Musk to it that I associate with Brut and Jovan Musk.

Alt Innsbruck it is just about the perfect as; menthol and lots of it with a wonderful long lasting scent.
