Topic: Cheap cologne that you love anyway

I have several colognes and after shaves that smell great to me, but are too cheap to be listed in the data base, actually too cheap to put in a glass bottle.  Maybe I like them because I like barbershop scents, or maybe there is something wrong with my nose.  But here are some of my favorites:

Pinaud/Clubman scents are a guilty pleasure.  My favorite is Coachman, which retails for less than $1/ounce.  A few drops last the whole day.   I also like Pinaud After Shave and Special Reserve cologne.  Not all of their scents are gems though, many in their line are downright nasty.

Bay rum is fleeting, but I love it any way:  Superior 70 comes from puerto rico and a 12 ounce bottle will cost you $7.  Ogallala (apparently some guy in Nebraska distills it in his basement) makes a variety of sweet bay rums that are wonderful before bedtime.  Dominica bay rum is a step up (you can tell because it comes in a glass bottle) that smells like the leaves have been fresh picked.  I also love CO Bigelow 1401 Bay Rum aftershave balm, which I use like a hand lotion.

Old spice is another favorite, but I don't dare wear it in public.

What are your cheap cologne favorites?   I'd love to find some other guilty pleasures.

Re: Cheap cologne that you love anyway

My husband uses Clubman products and they work better than salon or upscale department store products and they don't smell nauseating. It's just this nice, distinguished smell of yester-year gentlemen. I also like the smell of bay rum. Reminds me of the holidays.

Roots For Him by Coty. Nice and light on me. I find it energizing. A nice sporty/summery scent. It's not listed in the database on here. I found it on the https://encrypted-tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTo2NhlDiiu1Pr5I99_GjG97PAGjSRrR4qc7HKei5gnYg7uqjIo discount shelf at a drugstore for 9.99......good buy!http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/theperfumespot_2197_1645559

Don't be embarrassed to wear Old Spice! It smells great & masculine as well which a lot of the more expensive colognes  don't. Bay Rum smells really nice also.
