Which Should You Buy?
A divisive freshie that some tout as a masterpiece and others find too sharp and synthetic. While it's great for the gym and hot weather, don't expect groundbreaking complexity or a huge price tag.
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
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its fresh, aquatic, and sporty accords make it an ideal gym or casual summer scent. However, its often sharp citrus opening and average longevity mean it's less suited for formal events or intimate dates.
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.
