Hi TR10, I've heard good comments on Luciano Pavarotti PH. Ooh, I met Luciano Pavarotti back in the day and I accidently (almost) slide a Table top into him! Long story.

SixCats!

Cool Water. It's a cheap classic.

Eau de Gaga. Typically less than $20, a lovely violet-green tea, in a very elegant looking bottle.

Still wearing this gem - actually wearing rn. Not less than $20 anymore

Seeing as I've made it somewhat of a sport to find well performing cheapies that smell great imho I can't really say they fall under "guilty pleasures", except for maybe one in this following list: (can you guess which one I only whisper about 😉?)

Chopard Wish
Roberto Cavalli Roberto Cavalli
Al Rehab Choco Musk
Kim kardashian Pure Honey
Burberry London
Lattafa Ansaam Gold
Salvador Dali Purple Lips Sensual
Ard Al Zaafaran Jazzab Gold
Afnan Modest Deux Pour Femme
Al Haramain Million

Except for the Lattafa - which is not even a year old, but already in my Top 10 - all of these have been part of my collection for quite a while now, and they'll remain there most likely.
I could've added many more, but yeah... let's keep it acceptable. If allergies hadn't been an issue I think one of my "youth perfumes", Slava Zaitshev's Maroussia (very oldy, but goody), would have been on this list too.

4711, every morning, it's my go-to "wake up" cologne.

Alt Innsbruck

Wouldn't call it a guilty pleasure but this is definitely one of my favourite cheapies. Such a simple fragrance but the quality of ingredients seems incredible for the price!

Azzaro Pour Homme is my absolute favorite inexpensive fragrance that I own.

It's good for any time and any place that I have to be.

The runners up would be Zino Davidoff, Paco Rabanne Pour Homme, and vintage (80's) Pour Un Homme De Caron.

Beautiful soapy juniper. **Vintage version only**

This is such a hard one to answer since a lot of what I would have answered when this thread was originally posted now isn't cheap plus in the last 4-5 years we've lost a ton of good value fragrances due to them being discontinued. Even cheap clones I've recently discovered are being discontinued.

Because of this I'd like to make special mention of something that actually came out just a few years ago, can be purchased online easily for a good price, and does great in my weather: Chrome Aqua.

Damn right mate, all the discontinuations are getting ridiculous, it seems another one of my favourite cheapies has been discontinued recently, Dunhill Icon!

 

[Mythrol]

Thanks for mentioni

Thanks for mentioning it! I will have to pick up a backup bottle. Jesus these discontinuations suck.

Jaguar for men.
Just discovered it.
It's so cheap I wonder how they make a profit from it.
I love it.

 

[TRBeck]

Not feeling guilty about it, but I dig Perry Ellis 360 Red. I also like current Azzaro PH and Zino Davidoff, but those are even less guilty pleasures than the PE.

The cheapest thing I wear, and it’s a longtime favorite, is Gillette Cool Wave aftershave.
