If you have Lidl near you, their branded aftershaves are very affordable, have great ingredients, and there are a couple of scents to choose from last time I checked (which is admittedly 2+ years ago).
In the USA they're sold as allMan, and in Europe they're Cien Men.
The scents are:
Fearless (Aqua in Europe) - A fresh type of scent. I'm not sure what it's a dupe of, but it smells good. I'm not sure if it's my favorite of the two, but it smells stronger than the other option which is:
Defiance (X-Bolt in Europe) - A mellow sort of scent said to be a dupe of Boss Bottled.
I think both scents are good, and I've used both at work, although I think Defiance/X-Bolt is more suitable since it doesn't cut through as much.
I can go to a Lidl, but they are not the closest.
Probably not worth it, then. In the US they don't sell anything online, I'm not sure about your neck of the woods. You can get it on eBay probably, but the price will be quite a bit higher I imagine.
Edit: I just checked USA eBay and there's none to be found. I wonder if they even still sell it!
