Bravo Monsieur is the budget Santal 33 alternative that everyone's talking about. However, for every devotee, there's someone else hit with a pickle jar. While some rave about its luxurious woody warmth and excellent performance, others are put off by a persistent sour note. Try before you buy, but if it works for you, it's an absolute steal for the price.

This one's a cult classic, spoken of in hushed, reverent tones by those who remember it. A genuine, unique scent that people are desperate to see brought back. If you can find a bottle, prepare to pay a king's ransom; otherwise, you're out of luck.
