Colognes similar to BB and EF?

What are colognes that are similar in smell to Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet and Penhaligon's English Fern but not only last longer but are a little more affordable? I love Penhaligon's but I cannot justify the price considering they only last two to three hours on me.
 
Trumpers Fern is very close to EF (just not as long lasting (for me)). As to BB, I don't know much. I happen to think that L'Occitane's Four Voleurs has some common elements but it's not the same.
 
I hear Trumpers Wellington is similar to BB. It is probably the same price though. If you want to go cheap, I also hear Pino Silvestre is a good alternative.
 
I find the pine notes in Polo are very similar to BB, and if by a long shot, an homage to Blenheim's pine notes. However, Polo is much more boozy with the amount of musk and amber in its base.

You best bet, imho, is to go for Wellington by Trumper.
