Sauvage is on my ‘always have a bottle’ list with

Montblanc Explorer
Bleu de Chanel
Paco Robot
Givenchy Gentleman

I like a few of the lighter Boss ones for day wear.

I’m big on smells I won’t even go to Tesco without a quick spray. Got this from my Grandad.

Always have a bottle of Eternity cos that’s what I started wearing when I was like 15 (30 years ago…) but don’t wear often cos it’s heavy (if beaut)
 
"Homme Paris" from Lidl smells quite similar to Sauvage. It's not as long lasting, but if you just want something cheap for everyday use, it's not bad. It's about £5 for a 75 ml bottle, so the price can't be beat :) Don't mix up with "Homme Sport", as that smells like Givenchy.

I bought bottles from the essence vault which is a similar thing. Got the suavage copies along with 2 others and it was good so next time I ordered it just got the savage. I save the real bottle as mcuhas I can.

My mrs procdeeded to complain a smelt of shi t everytime I sprayed it so I stopped putting it on. I didnt smell it to be honest but she wasn't impressed so I stopped wearing it. To be fair the liquid was a completely different colour to the first one so clearly something was different.
The noted aromas copy of savage is called "Perth" and I wear it all the time all the passes at work say how nice it smells and have bought it for their boyfriends and family, it lasts longer than some named after shaves
 
Worth noting that these commercial aftershaves have endocrine disruptors (lowers testosterone), you can mitigate the worst effects by avoiding contact with your skin (spray on cloths) are avoid all together by purchasing ones with natural ingredients.
 
Jimmy Choo man extreme takes some beating for a cheap aftershave. I bought a bottle for under £30 in the sales.

Those are my two favourites. Both £££ though.
 
Been using Aqua Di Gio for a few years now. Got a few more at home but that’s my go to aftershave. To be honest I only wear aftershave if Mrs K and me go out for a meal somewhere. Most of the time it’s whatever my shaving soap smells like.

I remember that advert on TV, instantly knew I'd be getting some for Christmas! Our house on Boxing Day was a miasma of Old Spice, Brut, Denim and Insignia as the various males were morally obligated to wear their Christmas smells.

These days, on evenings out I'll have a the spray of Davidoff's Cool Water as the wife likes it but, as I'm an old gadgie, day to day I smell of Wright's coal tar soap!
