Men's Week: Best deals on colognes
ABC13's Patricia Lopez finds the best prices for men's cologne in this edition of Men's Week.

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Ok, men. If you're still using Drakkar or Old Spice cologne, it might be time to change it up. And don't worry. We're helping you smell good on a budget.

If you're looking to splurge on a Valentine's Day gift, the Creed Virgin Island Water cologne is highly rated. It's pricey though. The retail price for a 2.5 ounce bottle is $325 and sold at Nordstrom.

If you check out FragranceNet.com, you can find a 4 ounce bottle for $157.49. That's with a 30 percent coupon you need to get emailed to you.

Cartier Pasha Edition Noir is another hot men's fragrance. A 3.3 ounce bottle at Sephora.com is $112. But you can get a 5 ounce bottle for $54.59 at FragranceNet.com with a coupon.

We also ventured out to Harwin in southwest Houston where its known for wholesale prices on so many things, including colognes and perfumes.

At Perfume and Luggage, we noticed the prices were better than retail, but it is still not better than FragranceNet.com.

The retail price for 212 Sexy Men by Carolina Herrera is $86 at Sephora. At the Harwin store, it's $59.99. It costs $39.19 online with a coupon. However, the one thing you should know is that Harwin stores will negotiate.

"We want to get it as a good deal, and we can. And we are going to go where we can, and this is the place where you can get it. I love them and they love me," customer Elmo McCutcheon said.

The Perfume and Luggage store is closing its shop in two to three weeks, so they are having deals on their colognes and perfumes.

FragranceNet.com was the best price with coupon, but you will need to register your email on the website.
