This is a light scent that is almost powdery. It is unisex almost to me. I like it.

212 I find to be interesting... what really makes this stand out for me is using it as an enhancer for another cologne I already have. When I mix the two, I get a godly smelling fragrance. 212 on its own is sort of floral, grassy, and sweet. It's intriguing, but nothing too extraordinary.

A stunning scent, which is one of the best, which lightens up the day, invigorates and is fresh ,and strangely never gets booring, which can happen to many of its peers...

I applied 6 heavy sprays

0-5 mins - Nothing much

5 mins - 4 hours. 1.5 foot projection. In my experience, you need 6 sprays as a minimum, anything less does not let the scent appear in all of its beauty. This scent has kind of cracked it - it is fresh, relaxing and modern but not cloying, sickening or booring. It is very lightly green with soft herbal and a twist of modern masculine fragrance. It is a Master who transcends time, with an unassuming, young and care free personality..who says a Master has to be an elder? Why not someone younger? It simplifies you; in my experience that is an effect of wisdom

4 hours - 6 hours 3-6 inch projection. Linear scent, but why would you want to change perfection?

6- 9 hours - Close to skin, I cannot let it go.
Lasts for days on clothes.

Unisex? I reckon let the men have this one, just this one time..

Metro Sexual? Not at all, a modern day man is not just metrosexual...

Sexy? Absolutely!

Something to fall in love with? It has already happened.. but who cares when it smells this good.

Scent may not preserve well in the bottle so recommend 30/50 ML bottles or relatively early usage, which is not going to be a problem, I have practically drank my bottle in no time

REVIEW OF DARRSHAN

The main problem with this 212 and aqua di gio armani is that they hav b come very common and u smell the same in the crowd, coming to fragrance its green and a musky fragrance with great longevity and sillage. but a very common perfume in todays time among people.

This is not masculine scent at all... The middle and final notes are too sweet, almost girly. It's not sexy for me and if I'd smell this scent it in crowd of people, I would think it belongs to a woman. Although it smells relatively nice, It just reminds me young metrosexuals and I would never choose it for my boyfriends.

I like it, BUT theres a very sugary smell mixed with fresh grass. The sugar is just too sweet for my liking. i tried to get past the sugary smell but i cant seem to shake it. Therefore i must pass on this fragrance.

Pros: nice spray and bottle
Cons: To much sugar in the tank

Grade C-

212 was my office scent back in 2003. My colleagues really loved it on me. Whenever i'm out or on vacation, they would call me and say, "we miss your scent". Yeah,it wasn't me they missed, it's the scent.
It's just really amazing, a perfect blend of the green notes, grapefruit and ginger. I tried all the mutations like 212 ice, summer etc., but they didnt beat the original formula of 212. It's been 8 years now and 212 is still in my collection. Good job Alberto, Rosendo and Ann!!!

I love this perfume.
I do not care if everyone has it, I do not care if it is too common, I do not care if the experts think that this perfume is trivial, just do not care what they think about the tastes of others.
For me, this perfume is excellent. It is certainly not the best perfume I've ever had, but at least it's a perfume that makes me nostalgic.
I recommend to all those who love perfumes that are 100% nice and modern.
All the people who will cross with you love your perfume.
Excellent in any season, day or night.
Excellent longevity and projection.

I love 212 but something is up... mine lasted for hours on me when I first got it and now 10 sprays lasts 2 hours. This fragrance is amazing but I guess some EDT's just don't project the same on everyone's skin. It's a shame.

But as far as the actual frag goes, couldn't be better. Beautiful grassy and floral notes combine with soft lemon to create one of the most pleasant scents out there. It makes you feel energetic and clean. My girlfriend really likes it too. It's not trying to be too fancy, it just smells really good. At the end of the day, I'm not always looking for my cologne to have a millon different notes and be super daring and bold. I just want something I like. 212 is something most everyone will like.

I am a 212 fanatic. Why you ask? I was in 4 dfferen't drive thru's and had a girl at every one lean out the window and say wow you smell Amazing! At clubs I have had one night stands just because of this fragrance. No talking the scent did it for me. I keep 2 bottles on hand all the time.

It lasts all day and night on me. Some people it stays on longer...some not so long.
I can truly say I love the Herrera Fragrance House. I have always had great luck with her fragrances. The ones who use the most oil instead of alcohol are The Houses of Herrera,Escada,Boucheron,Hermes and Gaultier. To name a few. All these houses last at least 8+ hrs on myself.

One word to describe this: Addictive!! This is a very young scent, I wouldn't use this to shine, it's just a very well done everyday scent. It does smell like a lawn mower... metallic and green however the more you smell this it's just addictive and I learned to love this scent. A little bit synthetic and not very mature. A very modern and versatile scent.

212 is a great Aromatic Floral Fougere. If you like 212 you'll love Unbound by Halston. I do. It's the best Aromatic Fougere I have. But 212 is great too in the same fern like way with strong floral's. I got a big new 3.4 oz tester for 23.49 on ebay and you can't beat that. It really works well for me here in the Big Easy with the extreme Lousiana heat and high humidity almost year round. I'm very pleased.

Really like it, very fresh fragrance, however quite strong (my sense of smell went almost numb soon after applying it, never had that happen before), I think that's why it gives the impression of growing stronger as time passes (your nose is returning to normal after the initial assault!). Lasts and lasts, I think trev206 is right, if it isn't lasting on you most prob. a fake. Does anyone else notice a powdery resemblance to Armani Code though, or is it just me?

All the reviews I read of this scent said it smells like fresh cut grass. I aggree but only in part because the green notes mix with the lime and then you get a synthetic smell of fresh cut grass. the scent last for ever I can wake up the next morning and still smell it.

The truth about Carolina Herrera Bad Longevity 3/10

Jul

Okay, I'll jump on the bandwagon here. While I definitely "LIKE" + + this fragrance I don't necessarily "LOVE" this fragrance for various reasons. At first I would have to agree with Dr_Spazmo but it is just as clean as Issey Miyake, it does not explode with the floral accord that L'Eau D'ssey does. While not being as bright, I would say that it is cleaner. I don't think anybody could go wrong with 212 at any age or any time. It's just that good! Probably best worn between April and October depending on where you live in its versatility spans from a casual Saturday afternoon picnic to a quiet restaurant on a date. It does have a combination of floral, soapy, citrus but all very subdued. All of the notes are well managed and it has above average sillage but nowhere near a sillage monster. Longevity is perfect. I think that there are better oriental florals out there but none of them probably have this sustained fresh and clean linear smell. Probably one of the best fragrances to wear when you see an old friend and give them a big hug as they sniff your neck. It could be the fragrance that your significant other absolutely falls in love with or one that receives high praises in the workplace. For the price, versatility, and longevity I would not hesitate to make this a blind buy as I don't think anybody would be disappointed. So the verdict:

Bottle 8/10 -- nothing fancy an almost looks like a deodorant stick
Sillage 7/10 -- maybe more depending on how much you use your skin chemistry
Longevity 9/10
Scent 10/10 - really beautiful

Give it a spin!

i feel like my nose is messed up or i got a bad batch because this does not last at all for me. literally 3 hours top and everyone here is saying the longevity is amazing. i think the smell is amazing,the sillage is great for 30 minutes but overall is definitely outweighed by the poor lasting power of this cologne.

A friend of mine bought this fragrance and dropped by to show me. He brought other fragrance that I don't even remember its name... I guess that other fragrance was faded away by the power of this one, 212! Very few fragrances drew my attention the way this one did and at least 2 of them were Carolina Herrera!

Everyone keeps saying this frag is popular and so on... in fact, it is not as popular over here where I live and even if it was certainly it'd be worthwhile to have it.

Only at the end, when it's almost gone ican enjoy its kindda leather smell, wich i love. But i reapeat, at the end i can only enjoy its drydown, but all the hours before that mean headache

The flora in 212 is astoundingly beautiful.
I expected something more like either 212 Sexy, Joop, Le Male, or a soapy Prada.
What I got was a very soft, fresh, floral spice. Almost soapy, not citric flaws.
It is a very nice scent, but decide for yourself if its drops panties.

I just got this earlier today, and have worn it for 5 hours. Seems the smell is starting to fade.. I didn't care much for the smell after the first hour, (smelled too much like a perfume, and very floral.) but once it got to the dry down, I really liked it. Not an overpowering fragrance, but certainly pleasant. I'd recommend it to guys aged 18-25, and for it to be worn in the summer - it kind of smells like a cologne I'd picture wearing at the beach. I also see it as more of a "scrawny guy" cologne, if that makes sense. I couldn't picture a big burly strongman wearing 212.

212 men is appealing ,longlasting 6+hours,and project very well for a fresh fragrance but:

Nice and compliment getter.
suitable for work daily wearing in spring and fall.

Lets start by saying, I don't know how anyone would dislike this fragrance. I just can't understand it. It smells like someone has poured sugar over my freshly cut lawn two days after spring has started and the trees and flowers are beginning to bloom. Women love this stuff. I didn't even have to go look for a compliment. I was in an elevator and someone said "wow I really like that".

Listen I wear fragrances to get that type of attention. I can care less about niche fragrances if they don't garner the type of attention I want in a cologne. Much like I don't care if someone has spent $400 for a pair of Ferragamo's that look like Sammy Davis would cut grass in them. I wear cologne to smell attractive and garner positive attention and this my friends does it immediately and throughout the day. You can wear this in any season but better hold back on the trigger in the Summer. It's staying power if forever so whatever size you are purchasing will last quite some time.

Nice and fresh green fragrance. It's a bit fruity fresh and sweet at first with a slight critic smell. After 1-2 hours, it becomes more floral and sweet musky clean. I wouldn't call this scent very masculine either as it lacks that deep woody scent in many men fragrances. Also, to me, it can get a bit powdery/soapy (depending on how one sees it), but it's no big deal. I can see anybody can enjoy this; boys and girls. The projection and lasting power are very good on me. I still can smell it after wearing it for 8+ hours! All and all, I am glad I have one and I enjoy wearing it. Thumbs up for 212!

My husband has been looking for a signature scent and this is what he chose. He loves it. It's modern, light and masculine without being over-the-top. I like it as well, but for some reason I can barely smell it on him. It is light, but I guess all the trendy men's colognes are these days.

Oh, and he thinks the magnetic top is TOO COOL.

A huge sales sucess here in Brazil, 212 Men is a green spice fragrance and perfect for many occasions.
It has great longevity and sillage is good enough for other people smell it from you without get too close to your body.
Definitely a must buy for any guy who likes this kind of fragrance.
My final score: 9.0/10.

if you want to smell clean, wear this frag.

the opening is very green with a hint of citrus its refreshing.

after one hour, it turns to be a bit flowery and hint of ginger at the background, didn't like this phase.

but the dry down is very pleasing smell, the sandalwood, musk, and incense are perfect combination.

the sprayer works very well, so go easy on the trigger here IMO.

and use it only in spring or summer.

A bit green, a bit sharp, may have its bright. A hit among many, and, as it was told by men and women, it pleases hers noses. But unfortunately I do not like, since the first moment it feels like doesn't fit me. From this charming house, Herrera for Men, Chic and CH Men are my choices.

212 is very fresh,clean,soft and musky. Its perfect for summer/springtime. I am 21yrs old and I get compliments all the time. You definitely get the fresh cut grass note the whole way through.

Girls LOVE this stuff because it is so fresh and soft, not overpowering at all. This is my "go-to" fragrance if I don't know what to wear. You can't go wrong. Only downside is that it is popular but its popular for a reason, ITS AWESOME!!

All I can say is girls love it, and so do I.

I bought this today! Very nice fragrance!
The scent is about green, fruity and floral and woody! Like many other classic fragrances, it's a litle bit common and something like all-notes-in-one, a classic fragrance is always like that.

I get the fresh green and fruity at the beginning.
I do get the spicey with pepper and ginger after that.
And of course the heart is about musk and woody! A little feminine in the drydown.
And sometimes I can feel gardenia, my favourite flower as well!^^

Longevity is average, sillage is good!

A very nice EDT to seduce women. If you're looking to attract women with this and Acqua di Gio Homme sure they succeed.

Already talking in terms of its constitution, but it is a fresh fragrance, slightly woodsy and pleasant, slightly sharp. A range of ages, preferably in young men and never see him any other purpose than dating or the like. Permanence in my skin for about 8 hours. Simple and attractive to women.

Hi.

One of my all time favorite scents and one of the best from CH too.It is really FRESH,SUMMERY and COOL fragrance.Reminded me of a beautiful Garden after rain!

A great starter fragrance,Nise sour,Top notes is a little Aquatic but middle/base are Light.ROMANTIC and suitable for HOT moments.212 is a spirit an unforgettable experience for me.

Good sillage and long lasting.it is a good idea for a peresnt at a modern man.Perfect for most situations example OFFICE,INTIMATE and EVERYDAY.why?because it is loveable specially for ladies and you often get compliments of them.

7.5/10

These days everybody goes to 212 series. 212 Men is so popular and nice cologne.
It’s average in longevity and sillage.

Very nice scent but not such remarkable and unique.

این روزها بیشتر جوانها یکی از عطرهای سری 212 رو توی کمدشون دارن و سری 212 خیلی رایجه

عطر خوبیه و دوام و پخش متوسطی هم داره
اونقدرها خاصّ و منحصربفرد نیست اما خوشایند و دوست داشتنیه

The opening is too green (cut grass) and sharp for me and way too overpowering. The middlenotes are a bit feminine (ginger and flowers) but the base is to die for, an absolutely gorgeous light sensual musk combined with incense and supported with sandalwood. I love wearing this in spring.

Particularmente es un excelente perfume, no solo es duradero al usarse sino su aroma si bien se va desvaneciendo, permanece. Muy buena combinación de fragancias florales para este producto. Es especial también para la noche como también para el día o uso cotidiano. Aunque está pensada para Primavera / Verano, va muy bien todo el año.

i've just tried this. bought it blindly online. it smells good, very fresh, very musky-- a lot like Ralph Lauren Polo. except that Polo was so strong everyone around me hated it.
212 men is less strong but still can't spray much-- its nauseating.
but its a good smell.

I love this perfume. This one is very modern, manly and incomparable. The top note is slightly strong but once it settle down you would appreciate it. This has a great silage and it projects well.

Good fragrance, but slightly feminine and strong during the middle notes. Great long lasting and sillage. Not my cup of tea, but great for young people.

This fragrance is amazing and unlike other perfumes, this one has got character and lasts a cool few hours (even days sometimes).

One of my favourites, however it smells a bit of roses when you first spray it, but women adore it.

I don't think this one is green because i smell warm ginger. It is cloying when used in hot weather but nice in colder temperature. Good fragrance, really has character.

It's like a gr8 musical harmony, passing prominently & gently frm one stage to another. Background is set by "incense"! Yup I can clearly get this "incense" like feeling~smokey, scented, spreading round u!! And on d front the other notes play their parts, just what d perfume claims to have!!! Gr8 work... Gr8 composition..Gr8 longevity...!!

i own this after i know my friend was using this, but on me it didn't smell good, too musky. staying power is bad on my skin, only for 2-3 hours. nice packaging though.

Nice smell but nothing special . If you want a classy , stand out of the crowd perfume then this is not for you . To me it lacks something to make it special . I think it is very suited to a young modern crowd .

A lot of people have it, but still it is a very nice floral-woody for men. It has some soapy+metallic notes in it, but then it calms down to a fresh-floral and woody scent that is sensual and can be worn for casual wear. A very nice evocation of New York in a bottle, indeed. There are reasons why this nice scent has been over-copied by others.

Time and years are not against this fragance. Wonderful and unique, very natural, comfortable, manly with an special contrast with florals-herbals to semi-aquatic-fresh base.

Unique.

I don't get a musky scent in this, it is fresh and sweet. I think it is similar to some other metrosexual men's fragrances. This doesn't really scream man to me with deep earthy tones, instead sweet fresh notes and present, it is slightly feminine. It is a nice scent for spring or summer. My man just bought it so we will see how it will develop as he wears it more often.

I first got 212 Men late last spring when it was starting to warm up. I tried it several times throughout the spring, summer and fall, and all I got from it in warm/hot weather was a very light, flat, Citrus with Musk.

It's winter now and what I get from it during cold dry weather is quite a bit more; a citrus opening with a light floral heart. When the citrus fades it is replaced by a light Incense note (that is undetectable in warm weather) along with the Muskiness of the base. It's a very light scent and I need to put it on at least twice (let it dry and re-apply again immediately), but three times is better. Even with a heavy application the sillage is close.

For me it lasts from 2 to 4 hours with a heavy application. Not bad, but it's very ordinary. If there is any heat at all it doesn't last more than an hour. In the warmth it feels like a non-aquatic scent trying to mimic an aquatic one. I'm a little disappointed.

"it's all about dry down ;]"

opening (cut grass) is quite good after that is much more better. middle notes are quite femine but after that comes masterpiece drydown. "rich" musk which is making hudge statement. you can easly smell this fragrance after 10 -12 hours on somebody

I smell it everywhere. It's too over power. It makes me wanna vomit. Too much musk. Musk, musk, and musk. I've never tried any scent that has such a long longervity like 212. Not my type, totally!
