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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - In to You (Male) - 888 EDP
A fair everyday copy of CK IN2U for Him's unusual lemon-tomato-cacao contrast - the green citrus opening is well matched, but like the original, this one runs out of steam within a few hours, only slightly faster.

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.

In to You (Male) - 888

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A fresh, green citrus scent that suits warm weather and feels out of place in winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Casual and sporty by design, easy for everyday wear; too informal for the office or a formal event.
