All The Best Aftershave / Fragrances for Men Under £5 (Starting at 65p) - 2022

Okay, so, I've been on a mission to try every single budget aftershave/deoderant spray/cologne and fragrance in the UK for the last few years. I've done everything from Poundland to Zara to the high street drug stores and grocery shops.

My verdict is that the Superdrug Sierran Breeze and Old Spice Deep Sea are the best value in terms of smell, price and how long they last. Give them a chance - guaranteed you'll get compliments on both despite the slightly weird formats.

This list contains the following absolute bangers:

1) ALDI Desert Heat: 65p
A 65p alternative to Lynx Africa. Doesn't last the longest - but it does an amazing job for the price. Not available online - but definitely a banger if you can get to ALDI.

2) Superdrug Sierran Breeze: £2.50 (2 for £5)
This is a super long-lasting and fresh scent that absolutely kills it for the price. Not available online it seems - but definitely worth a trip to get several of these!

3) Old Spice Deep Sea: £2.50-£3.00
One of the sleeper hits - make sure you get the stick because it lasts WAY longer than the spray. Treat this one like dry cologne / travel aftershave and rub it on your neck/wrists/joints. It's also on Amazon for £2.65 if you can't find it in store: https://amzn.to/3wjz4AP

4) Lynx Urban Daily Fragrance - Tobacco and Amber: £3.00-£6.00
An increasingly rare all-star. This one goes on sale a lot but its by far the most elegant of the bunch. It's a great dupe of some popular tobacco scents from Tom Ford but you won't feel guilty spraying this whole bottle up in a week at this price.
It's available on Amazon in a multipack: https://amzn.to/3XrMCpP
