Au

Just got this for £9.99 for a 100ml bottle and agree with most of the reviews. Gives a sensual, calming, cozy, pleasant and aromatic sort of tea / cloves vibe, slightly musky, powdery, woody and vanillic in the dry down. Smells a lot more classy, sophisticated, expensive and most definitely unique than the price would suggest. Slightly unisex, leaning more towards masculine. Would say this can be worn during spring, autumn, winter at night for a date, in a upscale bar or even in the office. Not for clubbing though in my opinion. It's just very inoffensive, not very loud, not overly attention grabbing and there is nothing annoying or irritating about it thankfully. The scent is also slightly mature, think men and women above 25 would appreciate this scent profile more. The bottle and presentation is outstanding for the price too, could not believe how stylish the bottle looks in my collection. Would make an ideal gift as well. Negatives I would say are that when you initially spray it on your skin you get that cheap perfumer's alcohol smell for about 30 seconds before the scent develops, and you can't smell the scent from the bottle's nozzle, which brings me to the point that the scent is not very strong. I did not spray it liberally yet just a couple of sprays on my neck and on my wrists. And, I still get whiffs of it after 4 hours of wearing it, so your own nose might not get fully anosmic to it. And I can smell it perfectly fine on my wrists from close still. However, I can already tell you would need to spray it liberally on your skin (4-6 sprays) and clothing for it to project and for people to smell it on you from any sort of distance. But for the price that is absolutely understandable. Would love it if Ted Baker brought an Intense or Eau de Parfum version of this with a higher concentration. I also tried the Ted Baker CU Copper and AG Silver versions. Both smell very generic and not memorable at all compared to this one. All in all, even though I would recommend you try it yourself before buying, absolutely blind buy worthy for the £10-20 for a 100ml bottle. Solid 8/10 day to day budget friendly cheapie. Fits into any collection / rotation because it is indeed very unique. I haven't smelled Gucci Pour Homme II unfortunately but viewed some reviews on it on Youtube and would agree from those that Ted Baker AU smells like it, so this may be a decent cheap alternative. Pretty sure women would remember you if you wore this, maybe as a sophisticated, classy, intellectual nice guy who has his life together. Highly recommended!

If you’re having a hard time finding this, Alexandria Fragrances has a clone of GPHII called The Pour Homme ii and it smells identical to AU. I have both and they’re indistinguishable. Lovely bright, white floral and spicy clove. Gives me a sparkling, slightly sweet black tea vibe. Performance on me was great. Projected from hand to nose for 5 hours until I showered. If you think you’d like a brighter, white floral version of Spicebomb, this or the Alexandria will work for you.

I think this is the sexiest fragrance I've smelled this year. Unreal value for the money. I wouldn't be surprised if this will sell for hundreds in a couple years down the road, I've heard that it was discontinued. The coolest thing about it is that nobody will be able to ID it, very unique. As I am testing it, several more known fragrances pop to mind, exactly the ones listed on the "remind me of" and "also like" lists.

Great quality for the price, reminded me a little if Benz club black. A cheaply dumb reach for changing seasons day or night, the quality is far beyond its price point but performance is only mediocre. Nice for short experience and intimate interactions.

Slight spicy yet creamy woodiness, soft and warm and cozy scent. Pretty nice and has similarities to the old popular GPH II but not exactly the same. Performance is kinda weak as goes to skin scent pretty fast.
