Which Should You Buy?
A hyper-fresh, zesty grapefruit blast with a salty-aquatic twist and crisp vetiver base. The ultimate summer pick-me-up for men who want to feel vibrant, casual, and effortlessly clean.
Ted Baker Cu is a perplexing beast - a fresh, clean EDT with an unexpected metallic tang that some adore and others find completely off-putting. It's a subtle scent, leaning towards the unconventional, with plenty of fans mourning its discontinuation.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The intensely fresh, citrus and ozonic profile is ideal for spring and summer, with grapefruit and aquatic notes shining in heat. It feels out of place in cold winter air, but can work for mild fall days.
Occasions
Its breezy, zesty freshness is perfectly suited to casual, sporty, and office wear, offering a clean and approachable presence without being overwhelming. It's less appropriate for formal occasions due to its relaxed, vibrant character.
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.
Occasions
Its fresh, subtle nature and limited projection make it perfect for casual wear and the office, where it won't offend. While some find it versatile enough for formal events, its 'skin scent' status limits its impact for more dressed-up occasions.
