Available in three different sizes, the standard 3.4 ounce version retails for $16.
Lucky You for Men by Lucky Brand
For another cologne that is fruity and affordable, consider Lucky You for Men by Lucky Brand. Like its Nautica counterpart, this cologne has a fresh citrus scent that women love.

It is available in a spray bottle or one you turn.
Halston 1-12 for Men by Halston
For a smell that is considered more "manly" than the previous two fruity scents, try Halston 1-12 for Men by Halston. The cologne combines wood scents with musk to provide a strong, masculine smell. Introduced back in 1976, the cologne has stuck around for a reason. It is intended for evening wear as opposed to wear around the office. Best of all, Halston 1-12 for Men by Halston retails for just $11.
Paris Hilton for Women by Paris Hilton
Not to leave out the women, this perfume from the Paris Hilton collection is very versatile. Capable of being worn at any time, including throughout the day or for a romantic night out, the perfume combines apple, nectar, mimosa, sandalwood, jasmine and oakmoss scents to create a truly unique fragrance. Introduced in 2005, the perfume is very feminine and costs as low as $25.
Guess New for Women by Guess
Containing a mix of floral scents and fruits, Guess New for Women by Guess adds musk to the mix for a fragrance that is captivating. Made for women but actually a possibly unisex scent, the perfume is recommended for casual wear. The standard size runs for $28.
Fantasy by Britney Spears
Blending unique scents like kiwi, chocolate, lychee and orchid, the Fantasy perfume from Britney Spears is one of a kind. The $25 eau de parfum spray is made for romantic wear, better for a night out with a loved one than for wear to work.
