I'm relatively new to the scent game, and I'm trying to slowly build up a stable of usable every day budget frags. Niche just isn't in my conversation right now with one child about to head to college, one a ten year old football player in a high school body, and one just breaking the ranks of kindergarten. What are some of your favorite fall and winter fragrances that have surprised you without breaking the bank? For reference, let's keep it under $75 at the top end and preferably under $50.
Favorite Fall/Winter frags on a budget?

I like the old purple bottle Versace man. You can still get it online $25-35
Caron L`Anarchiste
Old Spice
English Leather Spiced
Tabac EdC
Tuscany by Aramis (I associate citrus with fall & winter)
Pino Silvestre
A long lasting bay rum would probably also be very good.

Off the top of my head...
Burberry London for Men
CK One Shock for Him (don't let the graffiti inspired bottle fool you. A great fall juice)

Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve

I appreciate some of these old school cheap but good references. And there's a few here I am not familiar with that I need to check up on. Thanks guys.
Two others came to mind since I posted yesterday: Halston Z-14 and Halston 1-12. Not sure how I forgot, I wear both of them a lot.
Have you checked out any of the online retailers? I have used both Fragrancenet and FragranceX and have been very happy. You get authentic fragrances for a lot cheaper than you would buying from a place like Macy's or Sephora.
Some of my favorite inexpensive fall/winter ones:
Chergui
Givenchy Gentlemen
Montblanc Individuel
John Varvatos
Rive Gauche Pour Homme
Azzaro Pour Homme
Terre d'Hermes
Guerlain Vetiver
L'Instant de Guerlain
Dior Homme
Encre Noire
Midnight in Paris
Caron Pour un Homme
Hope this helps!

Guerlain Vetiver is your best choice. Perfect for the fall and it really complements the cold of winter nicely. I'm actually wearing it today

Also consider Zirh Ikon.
It punches well above its price point.

It does! Midnight In Paris is a current favorite. I layer it on top of Ferragamo F Black and always receive positive comments.
My favorite winter frag is Eau des Baux, which comes in right around the $50 mark for a large (3.4 oz) bottle. It's my wife's favorite, which I readily admit heavily influences my choice.

There are several here I will eventually will try. I really like old school scents. I especially want to check out Vetiver, Habit Rouge and Lapidus.
