Video

˜Attractive, sophisticated, mysterious, but above all very, very sexy’. To create this oriental fresh fragrance, Carolina Herrera took her inspiration from ‘the New York style and the sensuality of its mythical nights’. It opens with fresh citruses (bergamot, mandarin and green leaves). The heart is spicy due to cardamom, pepper and floral notes. The trails harmonizes vanilla, musks and balsamic notes (sandalwood, vanilla, guaiacwood, musk and amber.) The creators are Alberto Morillas and Rosendo Mateu. It was created in 2006.

Herrera should not have put the famous 212 label on this one. It has zero similarities to the original. However, it is a clone of the revolting "Le Male". It smells so unbelievably unmanly.

I don't know. It is ok, but whenever I spray it on myself I get a nice sweet, vanilla smell but like it has been sprayed onto unwashed armpits. I think Joop! Thrill is a much better offering than this and JPG's Le Male.

Alike alot compare to JPG Le Male but easier to wear cause vanila floral intro...so yummy. Any way I decide to have one ^v^...Actally I would say it not exactly a clone from JPG le male because the initial spray start sharp sweet sugary and flral sometimes it might too sweet for someone(men) though but later it developed from sharp sweet note to smoother oriental-vanilla tone and woody scent getting potent so may this part I thuought it has a similarity to the brot. JPG such that not clear quite heavy smoky fougere at first and then the vanilla woodsy note aroma has been shown prominently so it left lovely cuddle base on skin.

I like it. It is not as special as Chic, it may have some similarities with Le Male by Gaultier, but it is still great. I feel lots of Pink Pepper and Vanilla. It is sexy indeed, and long lasting. Anyway, not as original and innovative as Chic.

The drydown of this scent is AWESOME!! On my skin it smells great, it really is a matter of chemistry between scent and skin.
I am into Latin dancing(Salsa, Zouk, Samba, etc), and I tell you when I have this on, the ladies dance even closer and dig their faces in my neck. "Delicioso" is what they tell me :))

i've been using this perfume for the last few months and i think lately it started to smell like jean paul gaultier but slightly warmer.

It isn't as good as 212 Man - when i bought it i though it has ti be similar and better but i was very disappointed - it is very strong, sharp, heavy, i don't find anything sexy in it. I think it is suitable for evening out, disco..

I like sweet scents, also for men, but this one is just ridiculous. It’s kind of chemical candy sweetness, that could sometimes work for certain woman, who likes Barbie style, but NEVER for man!

I dont get it. What is "sexy" in this perfume ? It is simple like a corner of a house. Personally, I hear nothing even "attractive" in it. Could anybody explain ? Thank you.

herrera scents for men are very sweet itself, so extra sweetnes is to much...
much better is regular 212, chic or aqua (my favourite scent by herrera)

' "better" is enemy of "good" '(about sweetnes) - and 212 sexy is a perfect example of this expression

Top:
Bergamot, Mandarin Orange, Green Leaf
Heart:
Cardamom, Flower Petals, Pepper
Dry Down:
Sandalwood, Vanilla, Bois de Gaiac, Musk, Amber

212 Sexy Men is a soft and sexy scent. The light citrus in the opening doesn't last longer than a few minutes, then it's a sensual Peppery-Cardamom spice with Florals after that. Some woods start to come through in the dry down, mostly Gaiacwood and Sandalwood with a light Vanilla note for sweetness. After about 2 hours I can detect a very light Musk for the remainder of it's fairly short life. To me, the Musk is not as strong as it is in the regular version of 212 Men, and I don't smell any Amber in 212 Sexy Men.

The sillage is average for half an hour, then it moves in close, really close, which is exactly what I want an intimate/romantic scent to do. Someone needs to move in closer to get a good whiff. Close for about 4 hours total, after that the nose needs to be pressed up firmly against the skin. Mmmmm...

If you want to try something with the same 'feel' as 212 Sexy Men, but with spices in the heart instead of florals, try Guess Suede. It's soft, sexy, spicy, woody, and a suede note of course.

Love this cologne. Smelled it on a guy... and really liked it. A bit strong and powerful but is great for night or special occasions. Reminds me a lot of Jean Paul Gaultier.

This is what my husband curently uses. It's more mature than the original one. It's still very magical :)

once again a very rich scent that is long last as the original 212.

this one at first spray reminds me of Dr Pepper soda...not saying that is a bad thing!

If sprayed lightly enough, it can work on a woman as well. I love it! The 212 Sexy for women smelled too much like hairspray, but liked the sweetness of it. I wanted sweetness with a masculine touch, and this is it. It's great for a man, of course. Very sexy, sweet scent.

If you like a special perfume for your man dont think about it: this one is perfect, sexy and masculine, but sweet at the same time
