Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Roasted Beans EDP
A budget take on Mugler A*Men Pure Coffee. The dark roasted-coffee opening over chocolatey patchouli, cedar and sweet caramel captures the original's coffee-in-a-forest character, though the dupe wears flatter and skin-closer - the rich depth and all-day longevity are softened.
Statement
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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Roasted Beans

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Dark coffee, chocolatey patchouli and sweet caramel are firmly cold-weather, suiting autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Bold and cosy, it suits evenings and dates rather than the office or sport.

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.
