So, first off, don’t even THINK about paying full price. Like, seriously. The internet is your friend here. FragranceNet, apparently, is hocking Burberry cologne at discount prices. Free US shipping over $59? Not bad, not bad at all. Worth checking out, for sure, especially if you’re in the US.
Now, I saw something about “Burberry perfume dupes” which, okay, *technically* not cologne if we’re being picky (and I am, sometimes), but still! The idea is to get that Burberry *vibe* without the Burberry price tag. This Buscapé thing? Sounds Brazilian, so maybe not so helpful if you’re, you know, not in Brazil. But the *concept* is good. Look for those “inspired by” scents. Just be careful, some of those dupes smell like straight-up rubbing alcohol. Trust me, I’ve been there. *shudders*
Then there’s Macy’s. They got the real deal Burberry, but “free shipping available” ain’t the same as “dirt cheap,” ya know? But hey, if they’re running a sale or something, keep an eye out. Never hurts to check. Plus, sometimes department stores have those sample sizes you can nab… which is basically like free cologne if you’re sneaky enough (don’t tell anyone I said that).
Okay, so, here’s where my brain kinda goes sideways. “Best Cheap Winter Cologne: Burberry Touch for Men?” Wait a sec… is that saying Burberry Touch *is* a cheap cologne? Or is it just suggesting it as a *relatively* cheap option? This is the kinda thing that keeps me up at night, honestly. Anyway, the article also mentions Guess 1981 Los Angeles and Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man. Okay, so those aren’t Burberry, but they’re in the “cheap and good-smelling” conversation, so I guess that’s relevant.
Honestly, my advice? Don’t get too hung up on the *brand* name. Smell is subjective, right? Go to a department store, spray a bunch of stuff on those little paper strips (or, if you’re feeling bold, on your wrist, but be prepared for a fragrance battle later), and see what you *actually* like. Maybe you’ll find something that smells AMAZING and happens to be super cheap. Boom! Problem solved.
