Elizabeth Taylor's Passion for Men is a very nice woodsy oriental, and a perennial at discount outlets.

Check out Ted Lapidus Altamir. Very nice cinnamon and slight orange blossom. Close to D&G the one minus the longevity problems.

You don't say where you live.
In northern Britain in the last few weeks I have found Lanvin Homme Sport, Giorgio Red and Quorum for £6 - £8 in a shop called Home and Bargain.

In that case maybe look out for Daniel Hechter Caractere. Great old school scent you can get dirt cheap on line. I forgot to mention it earlier. Only the aftershave version seems to be available but it's plenty strong enough.

The Original 24 fragrance can be found for £10 in Asda stores. It's generic as hell but some love it. Not a patch on the Gold version.

I know these are all well priced but I don't think more than two of them are available for less than £10 for 50ml (or ten dollars, whatever the OP meant)

You won't find any of those for £10 in the UK. Probably double that for CW and Reaction.

Yes, UK is horrendously expensive, lots of fragrances that are dirt cheap elsewhere we pay a fortune for

+1 for Ikon. A good incense fragrance that is very inexpensive. I would also try Pinaud Clubman if you like barbershop scents. It smells similar to Brut but is much more refined. Jovan Sex Appeal is nice but has longevity problems. One of my favorite cheapies is Cuba Gold by Cuba Paris which is basically a Le Male copy - but I like it better than Le Male.

Just thought of the cheapest ones I have really, not entirely sure how much they all were at the time.

One that's available for very little money is Canali Style (four stars in Turin's book. On BN it seems to be less celebrated) but even at less than £10 for 50ml I'm too sceptical now when it comes to the really cheap, newer stuff.

I'd rather get a part used bottle second hand on ebay. A full bottle is too much anyway when you have over 30 scents. I'll never finish most of them.
