Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Big Pony 2
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.
Statement
Our Verdict - Raalph 2 For Women
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.

Seasons
Best For:
Autumn
Winter
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Best For:
Date
Casual
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.
