really like Burberry weekend, there's a few Burberry scents I like, that one's my fave.
For shaving products I the sandalwood and almond from Caswell Massey. I don’t like their shave soap, I use the lather in a jar. I usually smell them for a day or so. I usually shave every other day.
Mitch from Paul Mitchell have a nice fragrance throughout the day and not over bearing for hair products.
Woody’s body spray is good, last most of the day, probably say a good 5 hours or so.
I’m looking to try the trufitt and hill products next.
Found a vintage bottle, still sealed, of Canoe by Dana at the antique mall today.This is an edt I had completely forgot about. Smells similar to Clubman but dies down to a sweet vanilla scent. So glad that I found it, and for the same price as the new bottles go for. :)
I like to use Royal Cophenhagen (not the tobbaco:) ) colonge and after shave. I stays on for a long time.

Alright here is the collected wisdon of this thread.
(Kinda bracketed by price)
Price being relative, I tried to make the brackets applicable to most budgets. I was actually surprised by the amount of Relatively Inexpensive options.
I hope this help people to find and try affordable scents for themselves that last!
Thanks to all that participated for your input.

Great job putting this list together. Much appreciate your effort. Thank you.:tameshigiri:
Mine is (drumroll, please).... BRUT!
Recently rediscovered this nice scent. Seems to have some of the same notes as Pinaud Clubman (and, I swear, there must be some mint in there somewhere). For me, Brut has more staying power than Clubman. (Especially Brut cologne, as opposed to a/s.)
Cheers!
Tried a sampling of Tom Ford Private Blend Oud Wood on one arm, and Creed Royal English Leather on the other arm. Have been sniffing both arms throughout the day and not sure which I like better. Or whether I like either at all. Such a dilemma.
Actually leaning towards the Creed. But the Oud Wood is tugging at me as well...
May have to buy both. :D
P.S. - Contrary to online forum rumor (Basenotes, etc), according to the "Creed" specialist at Nordstrom's, Royal English Leather has not been discontinued.
I've got another not expensive scent for you with some real staying power, though it's not everyone's cup of tea; Jovan Sex Appeal. It has a strong initial blast of patchoulli and mellows down to a nice spicy scent. Great especially during the colder months.
Yves Saint Laurent pour homme super concentrate version....has staying power.
Regarding "staying power", do you mean objective scent duration, or your own subjective ability to smell it?
have you considered that it's very common to become aclimatized, so to speak, to the scent?
Think of entering a new house, you initially notice the distinct smell that any house has. But in 6 minutes after entering you don't notice it anymore, because the contrast is gone and therefore not as apparent. It's still there to anyone new who walks in however, and if you were to leave and come back, you'd notice it again.
I only mention this because it would suck to be "that guy" that just reaks of aftershave. Maybe you have enough for everyone else to notice, but the effect wears off for your own nose.
Maybe I'm the overly semi sensitive to too much pefume/cologne, but I've actually told people to leave my office because they smell like they went for a swim in a perfume pool.
Joop! Homme has atomic staying power.
In my particular case:
D.R. Harris Sandalwood last the full day. Strong, oily and nice.
Alt Innsbruck real nice and its covers me the full day also, the menthol is nice.
Geo Trumpers Leather's scent: Nice and it leave me the skin very soft.
Sometimes Casswell M. Jockey Club, this is the softtest fragance poison I use.
Thanks

Chanel Antaeus is another one that I've recently taken a taste for!
+1 on CK Obsession for Men; it's long been a favorite of mine.
Ditto, for Geoffrey Beene Gray Flannel; I use this after shaving with any soap/cream that has a solid lavender component (QED Anise & Lavender is a great example), and it keeps the experience alive all day long.
Another one is MPG Route du Vetiver; not only is it long-lasting, but it flat "projects"!
Finally, there's Odori Tabacco; it is my favorite -- if I had to pick a "desert island" frag, it'd be this one.
I suspect there are others in my stash, but these came to mind quickly, which must mean something (if only to me).
I also own a bottle of Floris Sandalwood (sadly, no longer in production), and agree with you about the subtle scent and longevity. Another favorite of mine, similar in being a "close-in" scent with all-day longevity, is Jo Malone Black Vetyver Cafe -- I own, use, and recommend it (yeah, I know: the Basenotes review are "meh", but I'm just sharing my experience with it, and no one else's. YMMV... their's does).
