I normally hate spending $ on myself and take forever to make a decision by the time I decide the stuff I want is either sold out or on sale so it kind of works out
but with a bottle of cologne I usually divide the price by a year or two (since thats how long it lasts) and im like "hey thats not bad"

you might like this its from the 70s,80s died out in the 90s
Givenchy Gentleman
Its what my dad uses, Givenchy doesn't make it anymore but you can still find the odd bottle on ebay from collectors/shops that stored some bottles away for a rainy day
you can also find a lot of imitation/counterfeit bottles (i think they're simply licensed and not actually counterfeit) that don't smell as strong as the original but its close
In the original there's a strong smell of cat piss (civet) later bottles and the subsequent not from Givenchy bottles cut the Civet down or out entirely though
smells great imo but hard to find and if i find any it goes to my dad
Top Notes
Tarragon, Cinnamon.
Middle Notes
Patchouli, Vetiver
Base Notes
Civet, Russian Leather
Or for something current that is close to Gentleman you can get Bond no. 9 H.O.T. but the Civet is nixed
sorry went off on a bit of a tangent
but i always recommend that when someone says they like scents around that gen
