CK IN2U for Him

How does Polo Red get so much love, and this gets so much hate?! Advertising, ladies and gentlemen, that's how. Image. That's all! This is the same type of smell as Polo Red, fruity on top, woody underneath, but with lemon instead of the kool-aid-esque cranberry top notes, which I didn't care for. In my opinion, this is still a very "red" scent and there's a very "berry" scent to it, from the combination of lemon and cacao. It's also a tad less sweet than Polo Red, but at least it doesn't start out smelling like a car air freshener. This scent is also similar to a lighter version of Diesel Only The Brave's dry down, if you can pick up the similarities between that and Polo Red, again, with lemon that fades deeper into the tomato leaf within 30 minute of applying. For my money, I'm sticking with CK IN2U, as it's only $20 for a 5 oz bottle. I just bought a new 3.4 oz bottle for $12.99 on eBay. For me, it lasts longer and definitely projects better than Polo Red. I get 4-6 hours with this scent and 6-8 hours if I moisturize first, compared to a consistent 3 1/2 hours from Polo Red Intense, even though it's an EDP. I've gone through at least 3 bottles of IN2U since 2007 and I get just as many compliments on this one as I did while sampling Polo Red Intense. The only improvement I'd make to this scent is to maybe add a touch of strawberry. That would make this scent perfect!

CK IN2U may be a synthetic, "dull" perfume, but in no way is it bad...not at all! I got a 5 oz. bottle of this edt for just $27, and this is one that I've been using regularly, especially on the hotter days; it makes me feel very well! Although intended for the younger crowd, I think a 42-year old dude such as myself can rock it seamlessly. CK IN2U opens with a bitter note of tomato leaf that lives throughout the evolution of the perfume. Afterward, the cocoa-lemon-vetiver combo starts to appear, providing the juice with an amazing, sparkling vibe, which is strenghtened by the woody accord. The musk adds to the fragrance masculinity. When it comes to performance, CK IN2U offers good longevity (6-8 hours), as well as good projection and sillage--it's hard to believe that people have issues with its aromatic attributes because, in my case, it outperforms other perfumes I like such as Visit by Azzaro. I love the lemony, chocolatey, powdery effect it leaves on my skin and clothes, on which it sits for days...go figure! I have nothing else to add except that this little CK boy doesn't disappoint. Of course, no people's perceptions and opinions are the same, so I suggest trying first, and then you'll come to your own conclusions. Fragrance: 10/10 Longevity: 8/10 Projection: 9/10 Sillage: 9/10 Value for money: 10/10 Score: 9.2/10

I honestly love this on me. I feel like they missed a trick only marketing it for men. It has this warm, musky, slightly masc quality and I can put it on literally in the evening before sleep and still smell it faintly on my sheets in the morning, which I personally love. Base notes are kind of sweet on me. I don't know why people on here hate it so much, but I noticed most of the negative reviews are from men and most women here seem to like it. I think CK just mis-marketed here. I don't personally want to walk into a room and leave a cloud of an incredibly strong, floral, saccharine, overly feminine fragrance, so this is ideal for me. I like that it's unassuming and a bit different. Every time I wear it I get compliments. It feels more like a dark feminine fragrance to me more than an outright masculine one, and I can imagine women would love this if only the bottle didn't look the way it does (which is my one qualm, it's an awkward shape and feels huge for me to hold.)

I love this fragrance, it's very fresh, creamy, relaxing and unique (could be unisex), you wont find anything like this. It's not sexy, but more like clean and fresh, I got compliments like "how good you smell, is that a cologne?". The opening is citrusy fresh, with a little green note of tomato leaf; the drydown of cacao, musk and cedar is creamy delicious. 8/10. The longevity and silage are not good 4/10, that is the cons, but I found a trick, if you apply moisturizing cream (odorless would be the best) before the cologne, it will last double. And remember it's a cheapie so don't worry overspraying and/or reapplying 5/6 hours later. Also, is a good layering perfume, I tried it with Burberry Touch and Prada L'Homme L'Eau, the result is amazing.

Great scent! It smells citrusy at first with a warm cacao dry-down and a powdery feeling. It is clean, fresh but also sexy and cuddly, almost gourmand, with the cacao note stealing the spotlight after a few hours. The longevity is good with a good evolution from citrus to cacao over time. The projection isn't that good however and becomes a skin scent after a few hours. But that skin scent can last for a very long time and I can always still smell it on my skin the next day! Good value to boot. It is a great perfume to wear all year round, for almost every occasion. As it is fresh it is wearable on hot summer days, but with its cacao undertones I find myself wearing it on cold winter days too. Love it! 9/10.
