Which Should You Buy?
Sharp lemon and green tomato leaf, then a surprise of cacao, settling to a clean woody musk. Light and short-lived, it is an easy summer scent for the gym bag rather than a statement.
Raspberry, apricot and guava lead a fruity floral inspired by CK IN2U, settling into caramel and tonka. It is simpler and quieter than the original, but the signature accord comes through and it suits easy everyday wear.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Lemon and tomato leaf are made for heat. Summer is the anchor, spring a close second, and winter would leave it thin.
Occasions
Soft and close to the skin, it fits casual days, the gym and an office where no one wants to smell you coming. Dates and formal nights need more presence.
Seasons
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
Its floral, fruity signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
Similarity Breakdown
Our estimate of how alike these two fragrances smell, calculated from their published notes. It is a position on our scale, not a measured percentage of shared smell.
