Hey Everyone,

So I've been shopping around for good, everyday casual colognes that wont break the bank. I used to wear ADIDAS Ice Dive and now wear a cheap knock-off of Polo Black. Are there any other inexpensive colognes you can recommend? What are your favorites?

As far as what is inexpensive, we are talking less than $20 range. I know there probably isn't a lot that will be spectacular in this range, but most are good for everyday/ after a shower use.

Let me know what you like!

Chrome - right around $20 at Walmart

I had a bottle of this in college and seemed to like it (more specifically the chicas did), but I haven't bought a bottle in years. It's also more of a Spring/Summer scent than a Fall/Winter, if that matters any to you.

I find a nice boli GM to really hit the sweet spot as far as smell goes... My wife is not quite sold though...

I use to wear cologne but now I just don't bother. All of my clothes smell like smoke anyways, it's not ever coming out. That and I usually smell like smoke.

Free cologne as far as I'm concerned.

IIRC though I use to wear some Diesel cologne that smelled pretty damn good and was about ~$25-$30 a bottle.

What? No Aqua Velva :-)

In all seriousness, I'm partial to English Leather. :-)

Me too in the fall or winter. In the summer Pinaud Bay rum!

+1 to Versace Blue Jeans. But it's a small bottle 2.5oz or so, so it's not really cheap when you factor in the size.

One you can find cheap is Curve and one of it's spinoffs called Curve Crush that I like. I once bought a huge bottle (6+ oz bottle of Curve Crush for like $35). I regret it though and prefer to buy smaller bottles now so they stay fresh. I realized that the big sized bottles change scent before I'm done with them and I don't get the use out of them.

Some other reccomendations are Claiborne Sport, Nautica, and Cool Water.

If anything, I was trying to remember a decent cologne that I wore/used to wear that fit within his specific price range. It's a smaller bottle, but with normal use (couple spritzes a day) it should still last several months. Drakkar Noir still around? That was the very first cologne I wore in high school, and I seem to remember it being somewhat economical. Had to have been, I was able to afford it in high school.:-)

Seriously though, I like - and my daughters like:

Acqua di Gio Cologne by Giorgio Armani and Stetson Black.

I really don't remember how much I paid for either of them but they have lasted a good while.

Thanks for the recommendations everyone! Keep them coming!

Set Sail St. Barts by Tommy Bahama is a good one and it can usually be had on sale for a decent price. It's a little strong though, use sparingly. :-)
