Recommend me some relatively inexpensive colognes

[nycalling]

I was never a big Cologne guy, although the last year of wet shaving has taught me to appreciate after shaves and now, colognes. Right now I literally only have a bottle of Old Spice cologne and a small bottle of Stetson. ANY feedback is appreciated.

These are the AS scents I like. I'm willing to spend anywhere from 10 to 40 bucks, although I'd prefer to spend less. My wife likes some Tim McGraw fragrance, if that helps as well.

Anyway, scents I like :
Old Spice (original)
Pinaud Clubman (original)
Proraso AS splash
Stetson AS
Speick AS
Jaguar AS

On the fence with English Leather. First whiff not so much, but it dries down nice.

Thanks ahead of time guys. The more pricier stuff I'll recommend to my wife for our anniversary.

Good inexpensive fragrance

+1 on great fragrance. Used it today. great great scent and hung with me all day. Not sure if I agree with the inexpensive. There are similar ones that you could get much lower.

I would suggest hitting up some decant sales. Or just check the forum to see where most people are getting them. Great way to try tons of scents to find your niche and won't break the bank.

I can recommend Anglia Perfumery's fragrances.

http://www.anglia-perfumery.com/

They're very reasonably priced and are good value for money.

My own favorites are: Imperial Lime, Isle of Man and Sissinghurst.

If someone decides to order, don't forget to ask for their shaving oil, which is pretty good, too.

Well for a real classic and cheap most everywhere Grey Flannel.

Tsar Cologne is an inexpensive fragrance that I get complimented on regularly. I've had many women ask me what I was wearing because they wanted to buy it for their husbands. It's green and masculine and not very expensive.

pens orange blossom!

Also don't forget the classic Tabac EdC.

I like the Caron men's lineup - relatively inexpensive and available.

Pour un Homme
3rd Man
Yatagan
L'Anarchist

you got it from soup to nuts right there! (And from pleasantly innocuous to ...challenging.)

Penhaligon's, Czech & Speake, Floris... all a bit higher priced. (But some great great smells among 'em.)

You already like Speick. Get Speick Eau de Toilette (not Speick Natural Cologne). It costs maybe two sawbucks.

 

[p.m.a.]

How about something from the Royall line up?

And you could probably find them elsewhere for even less.

L'Occitane has some good quality offerings at a very reasonable price point:

Stetson. Classic and Black.

 

[babydials]

Some really nice frags in your price range:
Montana Black (soapy leather & incense) $30/120ml

Sounds right up my alley, but hard to find reviews, even on Amazon.

Also don't forget the classic Tabac EdC.

I personally like the EDT better (I am in the minority) but both are great. Considering each can be bought for between $10-$20, these might be the best bang for the buck. You really would never guess they were so cheap by the way they smell.
