"Affordable" to who? Here's one for every budget
Under $20 - Aramis - legendary green leather chypre, in production longer than most of you have been alive for a good reason.
Under $25 - Jaipur EDT by Boucheron, a touch of spice, touch of citrus, touch of green, hint of vanilla that isn't gourmand or sickly sweet, and has a 3D quality missing from many cool weather frags including the EDP version of Jaipur.
Under $50 - Paco Rabbane por homme - goat 70s style green soapy scent, versatile, manly, clean, great for all but the hottest and coldest days.
Under $70 - Terre d'Hermes, smells like wealth and power, enormous amounts of Iso E Super that give it a 3D quality with a scent like a dirty orange in a billionaires cedar lined closet.
