24 Gold by Scent Story
This has got to be my all-time greatest cheapie purchase. I've gotten rid of some niche fragrances because I find this to be all around more wearable and pleasant for $27 for 100 ml.
The runner-up has got to be Bulgari Black. Such quality and originality all for under $40.

"Le parfum est la musique du corps" (Marcel Rochas)
The latest version of Van Cleef & Arples our Homme is very good. Found a bottle of Uomo? Moschino for $19.99 a few months ago. Giorgio for Men is good in its current version but I still prefer the vintage.
I don't have a signature fragrance. My signature changes a little bit every day, why shouldn't my fragrance?
