Which Should You Buy?
This one is a divisive little number. Some reckon it's a cheap, generic mess with phantom notes; others swear it's a delightful, compliment-getting chocolate-musk dream. The truth, as ever, is probably somewhere in the middle.
Raalph 2 chases Ralph Lauren's Big Pony 2 - that bright sour-cranberry opening melting into soapy florals and creamy tonka. The dupe captures the fruity-floral-to-sweet arc but reads more balanced and less green than the original, with the soapy floral edge softened and the already-modest longevity trimmed.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its warm, gourmand-ish profile makes it a good fit for casual wear and dates, as reviews suggest a subtle sexiness. However, its often-criticised poor longevity and sillage hold it back from formal events and an office setting, where it might not project enough. It's definitely not for sport.
Seasons
The bright cranberry-floral freshness suits spring and summer and carries gently into autumn.
Occasions
Cheerful and flirty - a casual daytime and date scent more than formal or office wear.
