This one's a bit of an identity crisis - called "Black" but smells vibrantly green, fresh, and citrusy. If you're looking for an affordable, inoffensive freshie, this is a solid bet, but don't expect it to last for ages. The community loves its clean, uplifting scent but bemoans its often-lacklustre performance.

NYC Male targets Calvin Klein's CK Man - the tart, peppery violet-leaf woody-spice that balanced green herbs against creamy amber. The dupe captures the violet-leaf-and-herbs signature but renders it flatter, with the coniferous-creamy contrast simplified and projection sitting closer to the skin than the well-balanced original.
