Which Should You Buy?
Divisive, cheap as chips, and punching way above its price point. It's either an absolute bargain dupe of A*Men or an unwearable chemical monstrosity. You'll either love it or hate it, but for a tenner, you can afford the gamble.
This is a truly gorgeous citrus cologne, natural and bright, but don't expect it to last. If you're a cologne 'hog' you'll drain this beauty in days, so manage your expectations (and your wallet). A genuine breath of fresh air, albeit a fleeting one.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its strong, sweet, and occasionally harsh character makes it ill-suited for the office or formal events and certainly not for sport. However, many find its gourmand warmth perfect for casual wear, particularly in cooler weather, and several reviews highlight its appeal on date nights.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its fresh, light profile makes it ideal for casual wear, office settings, and even post-sport refreshment. The poor longevity reported by many means it's not well suited for dates or formal events where projection and staying power are desired.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Amber, Aromatic, Woody accords and Lemon, Lavender notes
