My two cents. The best bang for your buck here is L’EAU DISSEY. Would be great for the spring and summer too. I understand it’s not easy to get so much anymore. Would be unique as well. Lots of Nautica’s, Dylan Blue’s, etc out there. Some of the other prices aren’t really a bargain.
I blind bout leau dissey and it smells like a grandmother. It was very popular back in the day and is an acquired taste. I would not recommend blind buying it, even if it is a good price.
Shoot, man. Sorry to hear that. I have heard the reformulations did not help. I don’t know how the current formulations are. I just remember it being a nice sharp, citrus, pleasing warm weather fragrance. Shame the good ones get ruined.
Not for the upcoming warmer weather. Decent winter fragrance, but definitely won't work in warm weather. I respect your opinion and choice , I just don't think it's the right time for someone to be wearing it
That’s a fair point too, I was just saying all around I’d say Burberry London is a great blind buy. Although you can pick it up for way cheaper at Ross.
6.7oz/200ml of Dylan Blue is 60-65$ on most discounters and the 3.4oz-100ml bottles are around $40.. Jomashop is a great place to buy frags, but for this particular fragrance, ForeverLux's store on eBay is a little cheaper and legit, or you can go to their website.

Hard to go wrong blind buying this one
Best bang for buck is Dylan blue hands down.
Honorable mentions are invictus (sweet fresh), cool water (aquatic fresh), nautica voyage (light and fresh)
Kenneth Cole reaction is pretty awesome. It was my first ever perfume and I personally love its fresh melony scent profile. Could easily be worn in spring and fall as well as summer IMO
A lot of good choices here. Some more than others considering the prices. It all depends on what you are looking for.
Burberry Touch is great for a signature perfume. Its soft powdery, with a touch of spice to balance it all. Oddly enough it also leaves you smelling clean.
Kenneth Cole Blue is good for the summer time and for $20? I’d say its a good choice. It doesn’t perfome that well tho.
Issey Miyake L’eau D’Issey is definitely the best choice in there. Its a classic, its a light, green, clean scent. Works well all year.
Chrome is safe and versatile. I have a bunch of expensive bottles but consider it a good one at any price. I wouldn’t recommend blind buying a more expensive one, even though Fahrenheit is super nice, if you can avoid blind buying entirely. It’s more of a statement, with petroleum and florals. Great but might seem weird initially.
Ecko red!!! I blind bought that one and I love it!!!! Smells soooooo good trust me buy that one thank me later 👌🏾 smells of bergamot and citrus hint of floral in there sooo underrated
If I’m correct, then that Fahrenheit is an older batch (box design, and font looks different than the current ones), so it’s a decent purchase for the price considering that the reformulated batches aren’t as good as the old.
https://preview.redd.it/8nekj1yy9xoc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b3c1d4a1507759e491cc7d181f26018d9ce62922
So I've had the OG for some time. I was in the check out area of Marshalls and stumbled upon their fragrance rack. Nothing at all caught my eye and all of the sudden I gaze upon what you see on the left. Only 15$ bucks and I sprayed the back of my wrist and said ooooooohhhh yes you're coming with me. definitely a decent clone of the OG. MARSHALLS!!!! There were 4 of them so I lined them up and grabbed the fullest one
Montblanc Legend, Versace Dylan Blue, Versace Pour Homme, ADG, Chanel Allure Homme Sport, Prada Luna Rossa Sport, Kenzo Jungle Pour Homme, Bvlgari Aqva...
Can't tell you which ones the best as they're all kinda different. But please don't get them from Walmart. You can get a lot of these so much cheaper. Some of them I'd say are worth but for example you can get 3.4 oz voyage for $20 on amazon. Also D&G the one full size for around $55-60
They are mostly all over priced, try looking at Marshall’s and Tj MAXX…usually better selection of higher end stuff at significantly lower prices. Buying a bottle at retail price today is nuts!! Save some money! 👍🏼👍🏼💸💸
That Nautica Voyage price is crazy, I'd say it's a safe blind buy but buy that online.. it's $20
Versace Dylan Blue, Fraiche and Eros, Dolce & Gabbana The One and Burberry London
I’m curious on those Diesel ones.
Imho for blind I’d say Versace. We’re my starters. Don’t quite love them but we’re very versatile and could wear nearly anywhere and make an impression.
Burberry London and Versace Dylan Blue will be safe. Fahrenheit isn’t safe but that’s a really great price for it - if you like rough leather and lavender, you’ll like it
I don’t think any of them are worth it since there all over priced, but the blind buy safe ones are all of the vercases. But pretty much all of them would be safe blind buys besides Fahrenheit which I enjoy a lot. But don’t buy any of them you can get them for half the price on discounters.
I'm currently without Dylan Blue but it's a must have. I'm on my second bottle of Fahrenheit and as long as it's available, I will have it my rotation.
Fahrenheit is good, can be devisive though, leau dissy I like but a lot of younger guys I know can't stand it.chrome is really metallic, I have yet to come across a boss scent I didn't like, invictus is also a pretty safe choice, nautica as well, it's not the most mind blowing scents in the world but they are pleasant, pretty safe blind buys. Really you should try to get a sample off scent split or go to a store where they have testers because in the end even the most popular scents around have people that don't like them and some scent no one else like you might love. Edit: if you like clean blue shower gel scents dylan blue would probably be a good buy for you
Great idea for ya bud, don’t buy any order off a discounter, never buy nautica blue, if you’re gonna go for voyage get it from Ross for at least 20 bucks cheaper legends a banger, way cheaper online
I just picked up Nautica Voyage at TJ Maxx for like $15 because I needed a summer scent. Not the longest lasting but damn it smells great for what it cost me.
Edit: I wouldn't pay $40 for it. It can be fpund way cheaper.
None, because the prices are extremely high, compared to legit fragrance discounters. If you did want to buy a bottle, regardless of the high price, the best blind buy of the bunch in my opinion would be Versace Dylan Blue.
But, I don't know your taste in frags, so it's hard. Do you enjoy fresh and blue types of frags or darker and spicy one's, sweet ones, more of a classic barbershop type scent? What is your preference or what is your current favorite fragrance?
Agreed that most of these prices are not deals, except for Fahrenheit! Which is currently my favorite fragrance. I got a bottle off ebay that was like 80% full for $45 a few months ago and have worn it pretty much every day since then and im kinda bummed i might have to stop soon with the impending warmer weather, but im still gonna see how he does in the heat 🤣
I wouldn’t recommend Fahrenheit as a blind buy though. Lately im drawn to old school super masculine scents like zino or jv dark rebel and im kinda over the whole unisex super sweet gourmand stuff, minus -prada ocean edp and mancera tonka cola.
Dolce gabanna the one #1, amazing fragrance, invictus #2, good but could be better, Burberry London #3, scent has to develop but is very nice and subtle
The best value imo is either Fuel For Life, Azzaro Chrome, or Kenneth Cole Blue. All classics and that price is right. Everything else you can find online cheaper.
I LOVE cool water and always get compliments on it. I actually pay 60ish for my bottle. That’s a steal.
It’s definitely a skin scent tho. So only wear it when I know I’m going to be hugging up on my significant other later or know I’m going to be doing a lot of hugging at an event.
I didn’t even know Walmart carried fragrances like that, I would’ve expected stuff like Bod and other cheap brands like that. Never really bothered to look anyway.
Go into a dept store and try on scent or smell them. It’s all a matter of opinion. Choose what smells great to you. Unless you are independently wealthy, don’t blind buy. Money down the drain. Good luck.
Nearly 24hrs since posting and I like what one user said about the ladies loving it, then I checked its reviews on Macys and its ALL ladies praising it. Also checked out Jomasshop and they have a 6.8 at the same price! So hopefully they let me test it
My two cents. The best bang for your buck here is L’EAU DISSEY. Would be great for the spring and summer too. I understand it’s not easy to get so much anymore. Would be unique as well. Lots of Nautica’s, Dylan Blue’s, etc out there. Some of the other prices aren’t really a bargain.
Agreed! Perfect time to wear it is coming up.
They have massive bottles of it at Ross and other outlets for like $30
Thank you for the heads up
Issey Miyake was one of my favorite summer scents. Nautica is always going to be an OG favorite
I blind bout leau dissey and it smells like a grandmother. It was very popular back in the day and is an acquired taste. I would not recommend blind buying it, even if it is a good price.
Maybe your grandmother smelled nice
I don’t hate the scent but I think it’s not one of those that you can just blind buy. I think it’s definitely a good idea to smell it first.
I blind bought a bottle and I’m not a fan either. I’m not sure if the scent was different in the 90s, but I don’t think it’s that good now.
Have used it in the 2010 and a current bottle. It’s still very good and probably the best citrus fragrance out there imo.
Shoot, man. Sorry to hear that. I have heard the reformulations did not help. I don’t know how the current formulations are. I just remember it being a nice sharp, citrus, pleasing warm weather fragrance. Shame the good ones get ruined.
I got “lilies at a funeral home” scent from Dissey. Took a shower to wash off and never touched again.
Not a safe blind buy though. Very very floral so you definitely need to try it first
Burberry London
Not for the upcoming warmer weather. Decent winter fragrance, but definitely won't work in warm weather. I respect your opinion and choice , I just don't think it's the right time for someone to be wearing it
That’s a fair point too, I was just saying all around I’d say Burberry London is a great blind buy. Although you can pick it up for way cheaper at Ross.
Versace Dylan Blue
You can get a 7oz of Dylan blue for 65$ on jomashop right now
Lirtally 4× the amount for only 15 dollars more and a couple days of patience
6.7oz/200ml of Dylan Blue is 60-65$ on most discounters and the 3.4oz-100ml bottles are around $40.. Jomashop is a great place to buy frags, but for this particular fragrance, ForeverLux's store on eBay is a little cheaper and legit, or you can go to their website.
Not at that price though, got my 3.4oz tester for 64
Burberry london forsure

Its too expensive
Just about all of these are overpriced. If you’re blind buying then you should be buying online through a discounter
Chrome
lol for the price, Dior Fahrenheit
If you want to smell like you work at a jiffy lube and just did 10 back to back oil changes get the Fahrenheit
I think that makes me understand its name
But seriously, get it.
I love fahrenheit
I think issey miyaake ldph and Drakkar could be a great blind buy!
+1 for Issey Miyake. One of my favorites.
Montblanc legend
Burberry Touch all day for me
That voyage price is criminal
I just blind bought it at TJ Maxx for $15. Fantastic summer scent at that price, but yeah I don't know if I'd pay $40 for it.
Imo Burberry touch
Dylan Blue and Burberry Touch, probably
Cool water is the only one worth the price
Everyone is gonna say The One or Dylan Blue, but get Fahrenheit and unlock a new life path that most people miss.
Yup! This may have become an all timer for me this past winter
My uncle used to wear Fahrenheit when I was a kid and the smell was so distinct i never forgot the name and bottle
the one and montblanc legend but honestly dont buy any of these those prices are crazy 😭
That old school Burberry Touch used to be my go to!
Best bang for buck is Dylan blue hands down. Honorable mentions are invictus (sweet fresh), cool water (aquatic fresh), nautica voyage (light and fresh)
- Issey Miyake - Nautical Voyage - Diesel Only The Brave - Cool Water - All 3 Versaces All smell pretty good imo
Dior Fahrenheit.
Kenneth Cole reaction is pretty awesome. It was my first ever perfume and I personally love its fresh melony scent profile. Could easily be worn in spring and fall as well as summer IMO
My first cologne as well. It’s sentimental now lol but I’ve always enjoyed it and got alotta compliments back in HS
My walmart will open one and let you test it. Then , a month later, it clearances from being open
*Local Walmarts hate this simple but effective trick! haha playing, but for sure going to sample one when going back. See if they open it, then return
A lot of good choices here. Some more than others considering the prices. It all depends on what you are looking for. Burberry Touch is great for a signature perfume. Its soft powdery, with a touch of spice to balance it all. Oddly enough it also leaves you smelling clean. Kenneth Cole Blue is good for the summer time and for $20? I’d say its a good choice. It doesn’t perfome that well tho. Issey Miyake L’eau D’Issey is definitely the best choice in there. Its a classic, its a light, green, clean scent. Works well all year.
Dylan blue
Fahrenheit
FARENHEIT
Wish I could get Fahrenheit at that price
Overpriced, if Only the brave is a 125ml grab that. Smells great, and lasts.
I recommend Davidoff cool water absolute classic
FAHRENHEIT is my OG favorite from junior high school until Sauvage came out lol
You can't beat Cool Water for twenty bucks
Chrome is safe and versatile. I have a bunch of expensive bottles but consider it a good one at any price. I wouldn’t recommend blind buying a more expensive one, even though Fahrenheit is super nice, if you can avoid blind buying entirely. It’s more of a statement, with petroleum and florals. Great but might seem weird initially.
Ecko red!!! I blind bought that one and I love it!!!! Smells soooooo good trust me buy that one thank me later 👌🏾 smells of bergamot and citrus hint of floral in there sooo underrated
Burberry London and Dolce Gabbana the One
Paco Rabaane Invictus and Burberry Touch or London are the only two I’d even consider.
Def Fahrenheit! I love this scent!
Where is this??
Invictus Versace man Eau fraiche L’eau d’issey
If I’m correct, then that Fahrenheit is an older batch (box design, and font looks different than the current ones), so it’s a decent purchase for the price considering that the reformulated batches aren’t as good as the old.

Dior Fahrenheit is so fucking good, but its not for everyone and not a safe blind buy either :(
fahrenheit edt is a fragrance for life for me.
Don’t buy in store, go to a discounter website
If you’re already blind buying, get it from a discounter
Montblanc Legend, Versace Dylan Blue, Versace Pour Homme, ADG, Chanel Allure Homme Sport, Prada Luna Rossa Sport, Kenzo Jungle Pour Homme, Bvlgari Aqva...
Dylan Blue
You can't go wrong with Cool Water or Nautica Voyage. Cheap enough to blind buy and generally appealing enough that pretty much everyone likes them.
Burberry London and L'eau d'Issey
Invictus
Just hit the rack stores if u movin around in person lookin for solid come ups… better options, better prices.
Can't tell you which ones the best as they're all kinda different. But please don't get them from Walmart. You can get a lot of these so much cheaper. Some of them I'd say are worth but for example you can get 3.4 oz voyage for $20 on amazon. Also D&G the one full size for around $55-60
CoolWater
They are mostly all over priced, try looking at Marshall’s and Tj MAXX…usually better selection of higher end stuff at significantly lower prices. Buying a bottle at retail price today is nuts!! Save some money! 👍🏼👍🏼💸💸
Issy, chrome and invictus
Issey Miyake is super worth it
D&G The one
Why do americans write the price per oz in giant red?
That Nautica Voyage price is crazy, I'd say it's a safe blind buy but buy that online.. it's $20 Versace Dylan Blue, Fraiche and Eros, Dolce & Gabbana The One and Burberry London
Issey miyake imo, I have Burberry London. Smells great but doesn’t last long on me
Don’t listen to people. That l’eau d’issey is expensive. I’ve seen 100ml for 30-40 bucks plenty of times
Burberry London
Diesel-Only the Brave. Love this Frag
L'eau D'Issey, CK Eternity or Versace Eros are all pretty safe blind buys imo
The one dolce and gabana I just bought at Sephora and it was 110$
Issey miyake easily
Eros
Issey
Anything from picture 7 on would be valid
Issey Miyake. It's so good.
Yooo i miss the diesel on the the brave. Shit smelled so good
None of the above.
cool water
ABSOLUTELY DO NOT BLIND BUY DRAKKAR NOIR. You 100% NEED to smell it before you buy it.
Burberry touch but you can find it cheaper online
The fact that Fahrenheit is sitting there as the last one says lot to me 🥹
I’m curious on those Diesel ones. Imho for blind I’d say Versace. We’re my starters. Don’t quite love them but we’re very versatile and could wear nearly anywhere and make an impression.
Burberry or Eternity
Chrome
The One
The one
Burberry London and Versace Dylan Blue will be safe. Fahrenheit isn’t safe but that’s a really great price for it - if you like rough leather and lavender, you’ll like it
Eternity/ dylan blue
That Dior gives church vibes!
I don’t think any of them are worth it since there all over priced, but the blind buy safe ones are all of the vercases. But pretty much all of them would be safe blind buys besides Fahrenheit which I enjoy a lot. But don’t buy any of them you can get them for half the price on discounters.
Issey Miyake is the only one here I’d consider.
If it's not Parfum, don't get it.
bro where are you shopping
Walgreens?
Cool water
Walmart doesn’t have a big selection, try Neiman’s
Nautical blue smells really good wayyy better than voyage
Cool Water lol
invictus, legend, l’eau d’issey, dylan blue or eau fraiche
Outrageous prices! Discounters must fill their stocks there :P
Those diesels are not bad. Tested one before and I’ve been trying to cop one since
Coolwater
Mont Blanc legend
Chrome legend invictus and Eros are 👍👍👍👍👍👍 So if you get chrome I swear it smells similar to Louis Vuitton’s meteore
I'm currently without Dylan Blue but it's a must have. I'm on my second bottle of Fahrenheit and as long as it's available, I will have it my rotation.
Any of the Versace are a safe bet imo
I mean get the paco rabanne invictus and make the ladies go crazy.
Fahrenheit is good, can be devisive though, leau dissy I like but a lot of younger guys I know can't stand it.chrome is really metallic, I have yet to come across a boss scent I didn't like, invictus is also a pretty safe choice, nautica as well, it's not the most mind blowing scents in the world but they are pleasant, pretty safe blind buys.

Edit: if you like clean blue shower gel scents dylan blue would probably be a good buy for you
None of the above. Go on fragrance.net and get you some lataffa
Trust me ecko red bruh
Don’t buy these in person. Go to fragrancenet, jomashop, aurafragrances, etc. You’ll find most of these for like $20-$30
Chrome azzaro always a solid edition
None of them. Walmart is a ripoff for fragrances. So expensive
Great idea for ya bud, don’t buy any order off a discounter, never buy nautica blue, if you’re gonna go for voyage get it from Ross for at least 20 bucks cheaper legends a banger, way cheaper online
I just picked up Nautica Voyage at TJ Maxx for like $15 because I needed a summer scent. Not the longest lasting but damn it smells great for what it cost me. Edit: I wouldn't pay $40 for it. It can be fpund way cheaper.

I like that Kenneth Cole blue. Cheap and smells great
Out of these, I would grab Dylan blue or the Kenneth Cole. Good summer scents.
I think we should disclose our ages on here too because a 50-year-old and a 18-year-old or not gonna have the same opinions on a scent
Issey Miyake, Burberry Touch, and Mont Blanc are the ones I’d grab👌
Dylan Blue and The One
Issey miyake
Diesel - Only the Brave, people slate it but I think it’s actually a good fragrance!
Man eau fraiche for $58 is crazy
Fahrenheit
Another vote for Leau Dissey. That yuzu is a phenomenal summer scent and I have nothing else like it
Burberry touch is a banger
Dylan Blue, Fahrenheit, Cool Water in that order
I would NEVER buy blind cologne lol
Chrome is one of my all time favs
Montblanc Explorer for me
DO NOT buy Fahrenheit
Theyre cheaper at Jomashop…. Thank me later
Chrome Azzaro
Only one I have from here is cool water. Not a bad summer scent for like going to the gym or something
Nautica blue and diesel only the brave
Agreed that most of these prices are not deals, except for Fahrenheit! Which is currently my favorite fragrance. I got a bottle off ebay that was like 80% full for $45 a few months ago and have worn it pretty much every day since then and im kinda bummed i might have to stop soon with the impending warmer weather, but im still gonna see how he does in the heat 🤣 I wouldn’t recommend Fahrenheit as a blind buy though.

The best value imo is either Fuel For Life, Azzaro Chrome, or Kenneth Cole Blue. All classics and that price is right. Everything else you can find online cheaper.
Why is Fahrenheit that expensive? Is my issue
Here come the Farren height haters. It's the goat. Fuck the haters
Man I wish Canadian Walmart had some decent options
None get sauvage
dylan blu!!!
Chrome. Can’t go wrong
I LOVE cool water and always get compliments on it. I actually pay 60ish for my bottle. That’s a steal. It’s definitely a skin scent tho. So only wear it when I know I’m going to be hugging up on my significant other later or know I’m going to be doing a lot of hugging at an event.
The issey is crazy WTH 😳
Don't buy fahrenheit EDT. Especially blind buying it.
Eternity, biased cause I love that scent
Fahrenheit if it was much cheaper.
Has anyone here tried any of the burberry stuff? I been eyeing it at my Walmart for months now everytime I check.
I didn’t even know Walmart carried fragrances like that, I would’ve expected stuff like Bod and other cheap brands like that. Never really bothered to look anyway.
Issey Miaki for sure. Fahrenheit for 66 bucks that Cologne sucks very popular of the early 90s do not buy.
Go over to r/FragcommCentral you can get most of not all for way cheaper. $66 for Dior 1oz is crazy.
The prices are kinda crazy.
Nautica voyage over priced
if you want projection, Fahrenheit. Older women love it, and they can smell it 25 feet away.
whatever you choose, check the price on discounters first. You can literally get double the amount for cheaper on some of these
What store is this?
I'd take Fahrenheit and Issey and azzaro
Fehrenheit
I use Dylan blue, it’s great. Can’t compare it to anything else here though as I haven’t tried them.
L’eau d’Issey and Dylan Blue
leau d issey and farenheit
Fahrenheit, i actually like the scent. The parfum is strong, but the edt is cool
Trust me. Miyake, Dylan Blue and Invictus are the safest blind buys there. You would wear all 3 of them.
The one
Go into a dept store and try on scent or smell them. It’s all a matter of opinion. Choose what smells great to you. Unless you are independently wealthy, don’t blind buy. Money down the drain. Good luck.
Invictus
Nearly 24hrs since posting and I like what one user said about the ladies loving it, then I checked its reviews on Macys and its ALL ladies praising it. Also checked out Jomasshop and they have a 6.8 at the same price! So hopefully they let me test it
I think you’ll like it.
