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.
Bargain hunters are also raving over B&M's £3.99 dupe of £89 designer aftershave also perfect for Father's Day.
