For everyday use I will use something like English Leather, British Sterling, Old Spice, Brut, Stetson, etc...
For special occasions or when I go out I use something like Drakkar Noir, Original Polo, Polo Blue, etc... However, I see no reason to spend $25-$50 a bottle when you can get imposter versions at Wal-Mart for $8 that smell the same. The scent fades a little quicker but for the price you can sue extra and still come out ahead.
