What's a cheap but decent mens aftershave?

£20-30. It's not someone I know very well, and I'm only used to buying women's perfumes lol

[-]

RevolutionaryPace167@reddit

Loop for £25. Try Debenhams, Super Drug,, The Perfume Shop

[-]

bigdipper2018@reddit

Personally for that amount I’d look to go grab a selection of samples / travel sized bottles of a top quality brand.

Le Labo Tom Ford Penhaligons

I’d love to receive a few taster sets of these.

I've seen a versace mini set, but not sure what they smell like? I think I may risk it and hope for the best 😂 if he doesn't like them, then he'll also have some socks and an advent calendar, so he'll still have something 😂

I like a bit of Leo Labo but their testers aren't cheap or easy to get hold of.

My daughter found some hotel sets on ebay.

Diesel fuel for life

Smells great and it's within your range.

I used to wear it for work and got plenty of comments on the smell.

Diesel fuel for life is legendary. The "Use with caution on the bottle" isn't joking.

Loop is discounted in a lot of shop at the moment. I ve bought a few bottles as gifts

hmmm_thought_pig@reddit

I've used Brut for nearly 50 years. It's citrus-y, but clean and masculine.

This or Old Spice

RevolutionaryPace167@reddit

I love Old Spice, my Dad used to use it.

Smell like a man, man ad nauseum

Google Oud perfumes. A whole branch opens up and is interesting. There’s endless reviews and people on forums who love scent trying and sampling with reviews. Can be really impressive.

zillapz1989@reddit

It very much depends on the man's age.

A few I liked over the years

Diesel fuel for life
Boss bottled
Boss orange
212 VIP
Ck shock one (a young person fragrance)
Le male

Another for NEXT.

Been using them years as a back up in car and cheap enough at around £15 -£18, they also do sets for iirc £25, it's the best and safest option.

As someone that’s been wearing Penhaligon and Le Labo solidly for the last decade, I thought M&S own brand stuff was really good. Bought one after buying the little sample set.

Zara do good, cheap aftershaves. Good selection to choose from too

[-]

astateoftrance36@reddit

Anything by issay miyaki is normally okay and fairly priced, Mont Blanc range is also nice and not too pricey, I’ve been using perfumers choice no 9 victor which is super cheap from Amazon for £13 and is a copy of creed aventus and used it for a few years now when at work and had tonnes of compliments. I currently use victor rolf-spice bomb but only for special occasions as it’s a bit pricey, good if you can get it on sale though.

Hollister Wave £17 on Amazon smells so good

[-]

Tabac original from Boots

Carolina herrara- 212

gerrineer@reddit

Next do a decent range for a tenner.

[-]

lovely-luscious-lube@reddit

+1 for Next. Cheapish, but good quality and doesn’t smell cheap or tacky.

[-]

RustyCuffs@reddit

Next - Code Red it’s my work aftershave and gets more compliments than most my expensive ones so I always have a bottle in my gym or work bag. And it’s less than £20

[-]

fletch3059@reddit

At that price you can't go wrong with Next aftershave. Anything branded will be a bit crappy or very small at that price. Personally I like signature or aqua but you might find the small sample packs a better mix.

Versace blue jeans ❤️

Honest_Chain4675@reddit

Next/ m&s own brand are actually very good, and i often chose them over my designer one

[-]

Round_Caregiver2380@reddit

Get a dupe of something from Good Scents or The Essence Vault etc.

I've used Lost Cherry for years but the dupe is close enough to not waste a small fortune on the real stuff anymore.

[-]

Joop - Homme

Davidoff - Cool Water

Sex Panther, by Odeon.

They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time, it works every time.

[-]

pinpoint321@reddit

You can’t go wrong with Armani Men’s aftershave. Emporio Armani He has been a favourite of mine for years. Would probably cost about £35 a bottle.
