You can't go wrong with Lynx.

My go to is: Issey Miyake Nuit d'Issey Eau de Toilette.

I’m also fond of a few of the scents M&S do under their own branding.

Best thing is to go in with a few in mind and smell them. You’re bound to find one you like.

Oh you really can!
If you can get to a Home Bargains they usually have a good range of decent male scents, for instance, variations of Hugo Boss etc for around £30. I got ds Armani in the gunmetal bottle last year in boots on offer, it was very nice.

Spice bomb is nice

Sex Panther by Odion. It's illegal in nine countries. It's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good. They've done studies, 60% of the time, it works every time.

https://www.boots.com/maison-margiela-replica-jazz-club-eau-de-toilette-100ml-10351785 This is my absolute favourite men’s fragrance. It’s truly amazing and lasts the whole day. He would get compliments all day long

Budget? I'd only consider Lynx for a 13yr old at most- not 26yr old!

I'm happy to accept that these might be 'old man' fragrances (DH is 50) but he likes Sauvage and Polo blue. Some brands also sell gift sets with several of their fragrances in them, almost like a testing set to try each and decide what he likes. The first 2 are sets, but the fragrances are sold individually also.

Lacoste is my son’s favourite and smells great: https://www.boots.com/lacoste-pour-homme-original-eau-de-parfum-60ml-10350033

Bleu de Chanel is also great and very trendy at the moment: https://www.boots.com/chanel-bleu-de-chanel-eau-de-toilette-spray-50ml-10112582

I just bought a huge bottle of Terre D'Hermes for DS1 - DS2 likes it too!

Popped into Boots and a lovely sales assistant recommended Armani Code…. Which just happened to be on special offer! 👍

I don't think you can go wrong with CK one and usually quite cheap.

Kouros

My Dh likes Sauvage and I’m a huge fan of Fahrenheit.
