Product Description:
212 for Men Eau de Toilette Spray, 3.4 oz.
Carolina Herrera presents a whole new 212 just for men. In a boldly masculine silver container, this innovative woodsy scent compliments and intertwines with 212 for women. With the personality of sandalwood, the spirit of incense and the sensuality of gaiac, its character of cool gardenia is balanced by warm spices. It's subtle and unique.
Customer Reviews:
Lousy persistance. (2010-08-20) Rating: 1/5
The fragance is very nice, but it lasts very little.
After a few hours, it can't be smelled. And I think I might be exagerating with "a few hours".
More like less than an hour. I'm not kidding you. I don't know where Carolina Herrera got the other reviewers from, but I can't believe NONE commented on this!!
What good is a perfume if it's persistence is SO bad???

This is an amazing cologne! I've received compliments on it most places I've been.
Smells like urine covered grass (2009-12-21) Rating: 2/5
This cologne is really bad. I thought it was okay when I bought it blind, but I started to hate it. It smells like a cloud of grass with urine rain.
Who says flowery fragrances are only for girls? (2009-08-29) Rating: 5/5
212 for men its my new favorite, this fragance created by venezuelan designer Carolina Herrera in 1999 is a woody fresh oriental fragance that last for at least 6 hours, the opening its kind of metallic grass mixed with gardenia, very original, modern and unique, I definitely suggest this one. Defenitely you'll love it, however make sure you like it before buy it.

212 is a woody floral musk with a somewhat metallic soapy-clean opening which dries down to a very nice, musky clean base. The opening notes are a little strong at first. So much so that I avoided buying it because of the stronger opening notes. However, I brought the test strip home, and it sat on my kitchen table for a couple of hours to dry down. After the dry down, the middle and base notes opened up (which took 30-60 minutes), and everybody in the house was like, "whoa! That's starting to smell really good!"
I more than agreed, and had decided to return to the store within the hour to buy the 100ml bottle.
I would say 212 is best for everyday use by a young, modern male, but it's not sucn an overpowering masculine scent as to preclude females from putting some on. I would also say it's a better fragrance for the office, as opposed to a date or formal occasion. All-in-all, it's one of my favorites, and it's one I get complimented on a lot.
