Inexpensive Day Wear/Office Fragrances

[Sabre]

What are your day wear fragrances? I love the L'Occitane Verbena range, James Bronnley Original/Gentleman EDT, Aqua Citra, my new Ferrari fragrances - Radiant Bergamot.

 

[Blademonkey]

Grey flannel, Jicky EdT, or anything lavender P.

My go to office frags are MFK Masculin Pluriel, YSL L'Homme Ultime and Tom Ford Grey Vetiver but none of those are inexpensive. One cheapie that I bought this year and works as both an office and a daytime scent is Azzarro Chrome Aqua. I really dislike the original Chrome, but the more I wear this one the more I like it. Can be had here for £16

Actually the other office scent I wear which can also be found online for a decent price is Dunhill Icon. I find the cheapest way to buy it generally is in a gift set which will then give you a shower gel and an aftershave balm so works out good value. The bottle is a thing of beauty too if that sort of thing floats your boat!

 

[Battersea Boy]

Agree, Dunhill Icon is my preferred office friendly summer scent.
God knows when the office will be open again though.

 

[Northam Saint]

Another one for icon for a daily work one. But to be honest I go with what ever I feel like on the day.

 

[Rohleder]

If you're over 35 Guerlain Vetiver would be hard to beat.

Jacques Bogart ... punches way above price range.

Worth pour homme is a nice one.....and very reasonable

 

[Eagle]

+1 Jacques Bogart Signature
+1 Worth Pour Homme

Some others to consider:
Oscar de la Renta Pour Lui (very similar to Antaeus: leather with a touch of rose, very office appropriate though)
Bijan for Men
Tabac Original
Giorgio Beverley Hills
Cacharel L'Homme

Still quite cheap and probably among my favourites: Boucheron Pour Homme, or the similar smelling Cerrutti 1881.

I have the Boucheron, and agree it's ideal for day wear.

I haven't worked in an office for around 4 years but these were always great and still are:

• Mont Blanc Individuel
• Davidoff Cool Water EDT

To test: walk past any working office fan and then watch the women's reactions from a few yards away as they get a hint of the scent. Problem is they always used to assume it was someone else! I picked loads of women up ...for other people

In the 90's my female office colleagues swooned over Dior Fahrenheit.

I wouldn't have a clue as to office politically correct scents, but cheap...........

Banana Republic - Neroli woods - Can be picked up exceptionally cheap. Probably the best orange/neroli fragrance I have found
Colonia Fiorentina by Profumo di Firenze 1954 - Found well priced on E-Bay. Zesty and green. Huge statement of a bottle
The Bath House - Spanish fig and nutmeg - Be different
The Bath House - Cuban Cedar and lime - Again, go on be different

Oh, I forgot to mention: Hollister is ok around £12 for 50ml, and it might be worth checking out Lidl. There's some blind smell tests of their X-Bolt (£3.99 at the time )vs Hugo Boss (£39.99)...hardly anything between them and several seemed to prefer the Lidl stuff. Just goes to show.

And...in M&S you can buy 100ml of Woodspice aftershave splash for £7.50. On the same shelf, sat right next to it is 100ml Woodspice AS plus the shower gel for...£7.50. I asked if they made a mistake and they said no...must be a promotion. I checked and it's the same on the M&S website...weird pricing strategy.
Anyhow, the shower gel has reasonable longevity without being as overpowering as body sprays, whilst a dab or two of the splash after shaving (or even as a cologne) tops it off nicely. Lots of people seem to like woodspice and this seems like a great price for the two items.
