Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - CK IN2U for Him EDT
This one's a divisive cheapie: some call it a uniquely fresh, comforting scent, others label it a weak, synthetic 'nothingburger' with woeful performance. Expect a short-lived citrus and cacao curiosity, not a showstopper.

Our Verdict - Close To NYC For Men EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of CK IN2U - a floral fragrance led by Raspberry, Apricot, Guava, with fruity depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.

Season and Occasion Fit

CK IN2U for Him

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its poor longevity and weak projection make it a poor choice for formal events or dates where you want to make an impression. However, its fresh, clean nature and subtle sillage are suitable for office wear, casual settings, and even after a workout, as it won't overpower anyone.

Close To NYC For Men

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The floral character is happiest in spring and summer - the freshness reads bright and clean in milder weather; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its floral, fruity signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
