Many years ago, as a treat I bought my son a bottle of Creed Silver Mountain Water for Xmas. Must be 12 years ago and I asked him about it yesterday and he said it is still his favourite and he has 1/4 of the bottle left. I bought it in Fenwick's and it would have been circa £100. I checked on it yesterday. A 100ml bottle was £285! That prompted the question!

I have Creed Santal and Aventus. Lovely scents but my fave is a bottle of Insurrection Pure bought from Amazon for £40

@"Jason1wood"#p80170 So is £200 to £300 not an unusual price to pay for 'quality' aftershave Jason?

Not unusual David but I don't tend to buy aftershaves with designers names over them. Do prefer to buy from proper perfume houses.

Aftershave is for car salesmen, gigolos and Tower Controllers. As a Tower Controller I wore Obsession.

I’ve worn the [same one](https://www.lelabofragrances.com/santal-33-147.html?srsltid=AfmBOorFE0F-32EwJJWETTkDEkvVGCW6Jcq2ypnw1uYspM_Wh7YnZ1BY) daily for about 12 years, I just checked and it’s £234 for 100ml. That will last me probably a year though. It’s subtle, I’m not a fan of strong perfume scents. It’s an indulgence for sure, but to me it’s just a nice way to top-off taking care of yourself like smart, clean/ironed clothes and tidy hair/shave.

I forget their names but I reckon one cost me about £150K and another at least £50K, this being the price each one cost me when they worked and I then had to get myself out of the relationships they attracted, lol.

I’ve tried noted aromas who do dupes of designer fragrances for £20 odd. I found the copy of a hermes fragrance was indistinguishable to my nose. I’m sure other such companies exist.

I bought Aramis aftershave back in the day, I can't remember exactly how much it was under £8 I think, which was a lot in 1978. I didn't like aftershave, so never bought any again.

I use old spice on the dome after a DE shave, I don't bother with anything fancy, use it purely for the "burn" to seal up those cuts or nicks!

@"Tal"#p80272 got into DE shaving a while ago and bought a Gillette black beauty from 1971 Q3 (my birth) Need to get back onto them forums to move them along if I can remember what ones haha

What is the most expensive aftershave you have bought?

HarveyMushman I always find the name ie cologne, aftershave, parfum etc most misleading…..everything seems to be watered down as well. At one time we bought cross ply tyres that were good for 5000 miles……then steel raced radials that were good for 35000 and the manufacturers realised they were diddling themselves. Now, the modern radial does 20000 maximum…..strange hey!

I have just taken delivery of a bottle of Mont Blanc Star Oud Warm Woods……it is really potent and right up my street!
