It makes a great gift for that special someone on Father's Day and at only £3.99 it's a huge bargain.
And what's more - fans have compared it to Armani Code Profumo which sells for nearly 25 times more.
Both are infused with citrus fruits and Tonka bean and include the addition of warm Vanilla.
Scent Favourites Magic Code Prive EDC at B&M is described as a luxurious fragrance that combines zesty citrus with a seductive heart of exotic spices and rich woods.
B&M say: "It's alluring base of smooth leather, warm tonka bean, and smoky tobacco creates a lasting impression of refined masculinity and timeless charm."
On the other hand, The Armani Code fragrances are said to set to convey a mood of elegant seduction, inspired by the man who attracts with instinctive magnetism.
So if your father loves the aroma but you don't want to spend close to £100 on a perfume, this £4 version is perfect.
With such an epic price difference, it would even make sense to try it first as a trial run before splashing out on the designer one.

A THRIFTY DIY fan has wowed people with her epic council house kitchen makeover on the cheap.

Thrilled with the Before the epic glow-up, the But thanks to Advertisement read more on homes Breaking down the costs and sharing the steps, Sarah said: ''Can you believe we transformed this kitchen for under £250? ''Of course this didn't include accessories, but we already had most of this prior to moving. ''Our kitchen was due to be replaced in 2021 but hasn't been done as of yet so we were given free reign to "spruce it up" and that's exactly what we did!'' The DIY fan kicked off the process with Advertisement Most read in Fabulous This matt paint set her back £46 and Sarah needed only two layers to achieve the perfect look she was after. Another rental-friendly tip Sarah shared was covering the old worktops with DC Fix - a self-adhesive vinyl wrap that's a cheap and cheerful way to spruce your kitchen with no faff. I transformed my council house hallway for under £60 - the old laminate has vanished but critics say it 'looks cheap' In the clip, the thrifty woman explained she used the wrap in Ribbeck Oak effect from B&Q, where it set her back £26 (or £13 per roll). Raving about the Advertisement She also shared top tips for achieving a smooth finish: ''Clean your worktops with sugar soap to How to do your council house up on the cheap Take inspiration from pricier shops and head to B&M, Home Bargains for interior decorations. Head to YouTube for easy to follow tutorials on how to decorate rather than paying for professionals. For a quick glow-up for your floors or anywhere with tiles, opt for stick-on vinyl to save on costs. A lick of paint does wonders to make a room feel brand-new. Switch out kitchen cupboard knobs for modern ones instead of buying brand-new cupboards. ''Lay the product out first to make sure you're happy with it. Once you remove the backing use a bank card or smoothing tool to get out any air bubbles. It can be removed easily to correct any errors.

Rather than replacing the white splash-back tiles, Sarah gave them a brand new look creating a geometrical pattern with a gorgeous mustard-coloured paint that cost her £50. Another new feature in the jaw-dropping kitchen glow-up were GoodHome Dukkah Brass cupboard handles, £84 from B&Q.

Advertisement Another chimed in: ''Can I just say, I've literally copied ur [your] whole kitchen. went out and got the same vinyl and paint as u cuz I loved it that much!'' ''Unbelievable job tbh, tiles brought it all together,'' someone else thought. ''You make my heart glad because you have a vision and then make it happen without just chucking money about… honestly you have huge talent,'' a fourth wrote.
