Hi there!

Any clues as to what you may have tried and like already? Price-range?

Someone recommended Adidas Sport Field to me. It costs 6 dollars.

fragrances like under 20 bucks!!
i didn't try anythig yet. got only designer fragrances now, but i heard that there are some pretty good cheap ones too;

[Captcrunch]

I recently picked up YSL - Rive Gauche for 18.99. This would be my obvious choice.

Animale Animale

3.3 oz EDT Spray
for Men

$16.99

[Ken_Russell]

Extremely likely to be found under 20 bucks and all smelling very distinguished, thus very good value for money:
Grey Flannel by Geoffrey Beene, a further vote for YSL Rive Gauche, Halston Z14, Tabac Original, Quorum and Agua Brava by Antonio Puig, Caractere by Daniel Hechter, Nature by Yves Rocher, to name only of few, but in almost all of these cases extensive testing is required, since they are all very potent, yet none cheap smelling frags

Pino Silvestre is incredibly cheap and a pretty good perfume. One of the best representatives of the pine note. You don't need to buy blenheim bouquet to learn about pine. Acqua di Selva is another alternative, also very cheap in some websites.

Extra Vieille by Roger Gallet is also cheap (you have to look for the right store) and is a true classic. Excellent cologne with lots of orange.

Dunhill Edition is another pretty good perfume that can be bought for a fraction of the original cost in some websites.

Check this one out. It's called Diesel Plus Plus and only $11.86 shipped from Amazon. I bought a bottle for a friend recently and liked it enough to buy myself a bottle for such a cheap price. Be sure you're buying from Amazon themselves and it should say Ships from and sold by Amazon.com. I don't know what country you're in so... There are fakes out there so be careful who you buy from.

IMO, it would depend on if school means middle school, high school, or college for Rive Gauche. I know it has a huge following here, and I understand it. I really do. It's a great fragrance, and cheap (so a good suggestion). I'd just recommend testing it first. I'm in my 30s and even find it a bit mature for my tastes. Young at heart I guess.

Welcome to Basenotes Linues41. My recommendation would be Cool Water. I got my large tester bottle online for about $15. Great for school.

Look at the YSL, Puig, and Caron houses.

[Linues41]

i'm in college. well i live in belgium so we don't have the famous malls that you have in the us.

Check out ScentedMonkey.com for a ton of cheap fragrances and international shipping is $5.95.

Indeed. Rive Gauche has a sort of traditional vibe to it. Typically, not many (I am not assuming you are, Linues41) younger persons are used to it, IMO. Though, true, many younger folk here on BN wear and rate it highly.

[Diamondflame]

Wallet-friendlies:-

Grey Flannel by Geoffrey Beene
Jacomo de Jacomo Rouge by Jacomo
Arpege pour Homme by Lanvin
Vetyver by Lanvin
Bogart pour Homme by Jacques Bogart

[Mudassir]

Two of the best values out there are Caron Yatagan and Escada Pour Homme.

[Dirtyylicous]

Cuba gold - Smells like Le Male Can be found for under 15 bucks
Chrome by azzaro
Body Heat by bod man
D&G masculine

Good Life, could you describe Alt Insbruk for us? I saw that a canadian website was selling it, but I could not find reviews about it....

[Simon Moon]

You might want to try out fragrances by;

Anthony Logistics - Spirit and Energy are the best, But all are worth a smell.
C.O Bigelow - Blue Elixir and Red Elixir are the best if I remeber correctly
The Body Shop - Of a Man

They make fragrances in the $20 range that can compete with most of the designers. Your millage may vary.

All are quite good quality. And are quite easy to track down at any decent mall.

I'd certainly give RG a test sample. If you're in college, I'm sure you could pull it off if it fits your tastes. It's a great suggestion for an inexpensive, great quality frag. I just wouldn't recommend blind buying it (what my initial post was getting at) as it is mature (traditional as Matthew calls it).

+1 for cuba gold, so worth the price and it lasts long on me, about 10 hours.

try belcam knockoffs, they sell them at walmart here in the US and i think they are pretty good for the price. the few that i have smelled arent bad. i cant say for longevity but the polo one smelled very strong, the armani code was nice but smelled a bit weak at first.

[Linues41]

I just bought burberry for men for 15 euros. it's nice. not as good as my other bottles but it's worth the 15 euros . thx alot foor suggesting these fragrances!!!

[marcuccio88]

Halston Z-14. You can get the stuff for practically free. A wonderful scent that never disappoints.

This one has been on my to try list since you first posted about it last year. I can't get the website to appear as a store. I'm in Dusseldorf next week and would love to have a bottle shipped there. Any tips on how to order?
Thanks.

I love this scent. I just can't wear it. Scent memory is so powerful, that it brings me back to the days of disco. For younger people who weren't around this one when it was popular though, I think you can't go wrong for the price especially.

[Giustino]

You can try Versace (Baby) Blue Jeans.. or Diesel Plus Plus.. (very very good.)

[Kevin Guyer]

I just figured out the Alt-Innsbruck Austrian web-site. They only take wire transfers?

[Billy Budd]

Ruggles, you can buy Alt Insbruck here:

If Alt Insbruck is as good as Pinauds A/S-Cologne strengths its well worth trying !
