About this deal

It's a good scent for summer days when you want to continue that shower fresh scent for longer period of time. Allure Sport Extreme is just a little softer and creamier, where as 212 is a little sharper throughout. Recently I was extremely fortunate enough to pick up a new and sealed 100ml bottle of 2009 formulation and it smells absolutely phenomenal. Ginger, green pepper, and gardenia make up the heart of the scent, while the base consists of more traditional notes that include seductive sandalwood, incense, and transparent musks. With a blend of top notes including grapefruit, ginger, and petitgrain, 212 NYC Men is a fresh and vibrant scent that captures the energy of the city.

It is a mix of Bergamot, Petitgrain, Lavender, Grapefruit and Spices, heart notes of Pepper, Ginger, Gardenia, Sage and Violet and base notes of Labdanum, Sandalwood, Musk, Incense, Guaiac Wood and Vetiver.I think that's why this isn't so popular, but this is one of the most pleasant fresh fragrances I've smelled. This is one of my wife's favorite fresh scents and every time I put it on, I get a blast from the past and a smile on my face. Carolina Herrera 212 Men creates an intense interaction of contrasts between the energetic coolness of aquatic citrus top notes, and the sensual warmth of spices and wood in the middle and base notes. It's not your peppy friend who always invites you on 5am runs as if you're the type of person to do that. It used to be more powerful i have to admit, but in my case, it just makes it more wearable than 20 years ago.

Acqua Di Parma Men Colonia Club is a sharp green, vetiver, petitgrain, and mint fragrance; Al Haramain L'Aventure Knight Men EDP brings green, and soft musk accords; Amouage Jubilation XXV is woody, green, and very pleasant; Amouage Sunshine Man is a very herbaceous, fresh, and woody fragrance; Bond No 9 Bleecker St is a great green fragrance; Bond No. The warm masculinity reveals itself within the amber character of the base notes with amber and woods mixed with vanilla. I want it to be powerful enough to hit them in the face and if I want to tone the projection down a little, then just use half a spray like we used to be able to do back in the day before the mass reformulations took place from 2010 onwards. As for the scent, I'd say it's about 60-70% similar to the old formulation, it's still amazing but not quite as good as it used to be, something is missing.

But wait even though there is lavender in here I can't smell any of it, if they had of completely ditched the gardenia which comes across as too overpowering and feminine, then the violet and lavender could shine more and be a much better scent.

Here's the trick to increasing longevity on this one: spray 3 times, wait 10-15 minutes, spray 2 more times in same area, walk out the door. Perfumes are often designed with top, middle and base notes, and designed to smell different based on the time after application. The green notes here are very unique, I didn't think that a fragrance evoking a blade of grass to my nose would be enjoyable but surprisingly this just works.Starts off very synthetic, almost copy room ozonic, but quickly reveals: grapefruit, lime, lavender, and green elements.

Although this was long before I learned anything of nose blindness so there's a chance I was in fact reeking of it. It gives off all-year round versatility and some uniqueness which if you think about it, it is REALLY hard having those 2 at once. This fragrance gave me some unforgettable memories, and transports me to a more carefree time of my life. i don't know why many claims this frag is not long -lasting, on my experience I could smell it even after 12hrs even after shower, and could catch some notes while on the bed to get some zzz. The atomizer lets out a burst of freshness and this juice gives you confidence and enthusiasm from the start.Not as strong with projection as I remember it, but you can feel it as an aura for most of its duration. Its a very pleasant cologne, suitable for outdoors, in the office if not sprayed on too much, or even date nights walking through the city. A comfortable and lovingly embracing scent, which seems to be neither particularly complex, nor plainly simple.
