What Men's fragrances Inexpensive and Clones did you use today or enjoy most.

[Keto]

So I found myself stocked up on more soaps than I will ever use.
Soaps that I really like that I never really get in a rotation.
Boxes a razors to sort through.
I've been trying to check out some inexpensive as well as clone fragrances.
Through our shaving soaps we get somewhat familiar with sent notes.
Just wondering what people are enjoying in this category of fragrances for men?

Here's one I just got and have used two or three times.
I can get along with the scent plenty well I felt like it should last longer than the 1 or 2 hours it seems to.
Even if I load up six or eight missed it seems like 2 hours is gone except for on the skin. I'm a bit green (new) on this subject though.

As above, Drakkar Noir and Zino are both excellent. And similar to what they were 20-30 years ago.

I also love Calvin Klein Escape as a great inexpensive fragrance. Again, similar to what it was like back in the day.

Missoni Wave and Azzaro Chrome are also inexpensive and excellent. Same with Cool Water Intense and Issey Miyake L’Eau D’Issey Pour Homme.

A good clone if you like leather (Tom Ford Ombre/Tuscan specifically) is Afnan Rare Carbon ($20-30/100ml). Even better but more expensive ($50-ish) is Rasasi La Yuqawam.

A really good lighter clone is Armaf Club De Nuit Sillage. Cheap and VERY much like Creed Silver Mountain water. I own the Creed and still like using the Armaf from time to time and it is about 1/20th the cost.

There are lots of great cheapie and clone options out there.

Now I'm kind of wanting to try that Armaf Club De Nuit Sillage.
I have the Armaf Club Nuit intense man it seems like it last pretty good and smells good.

Not yet mentioned, Zirh Ikon for men punches well above it's price.

 

[Keto]

Today I use this B&M Rhapsody shaving soap sample and Drakkar Intense EDP. Seem like they were at least a little darker of a scent.
I like this Drakkar Intense it seems like it's a little bit spicy.

My son gave this one used to me. It's smelling a little citrusy and brighter but doesn't seem like it lasts long or projects very far out.
Diesel Only The Brave

 

[Tillerman]

All mine are inexpensive. AV ,Skin Bracer, Clubman, Lilac Veg, Stetson.
Like Stetson when don't want menthol. It has no sting to it at all.
Today was AV

 

[Jubejubilee]

I splashed on some Aqua Velva Musk the other day, hadn’t sprayed anything for a few days before that so my nose was pretty “reset”.

That stuff lasted for a surprisingly long time. Very old school, very classic, I love it.

Lilac Vegetal is another cheap favorite of mine that has pretty decent longevity for a splash.

 

[Virgil Sollozzo]

Fine aftershaves I like; L'Orange Noir, American Blend, Barber Blue, Italian Citrus...

 

[JKaboom]

I like Clubman Whiskey Woods. It’s got good staying power and it’s under $10 for a 6 oz bottle.

 

[tthoms]

I might get a lot of crap for this, but I love Brut. I prefer vintage or some of the more expensive clones, but even the ~$5 version will do.

 

[Marco]

A wonderful fragrance I have come back to after many, many years is Cerruti 1881. I can easily buy the 200 ml bottle for €45. The cardboard packaging and glass bottle are beautiful to boot!

 

[patten1969]

I've been using Al Haramain Amber Oud Carbon, which to me is much closer to Green Irish Tweed than Davidoff Cool Water. Very nice quality inexpensive stuff.

 

[Keto]

I'm wondering if anybody has tried this And if How strong and how long does it last?
Also it says unisex I don't know about all that is it manly enough?

 

[EclipseRedRing]

Also it says unisex I don't know about all that is it manly enough?

If you are a man and you like it then absolutely any scent is 'manly enough'. The earliest Williams male grooming products were scented with violet, carnation, English lilac, and Rose, and many including myself wear those scents today. The notion of masculine and feminine scents is nonsense in my opinion.

 

[Deano]

Stephans Lilac. Don't know if it's a clone but it's cheap......and manly.

 

[Multum in parvo]

For the last couple of weeks whenever I work from home or on weekends Zino by Davidoff, super nice for fall/winter.
