I was first introduced to this brilliant fragrance by a mate who always used to wear it when we were out on the pull. I need not say that it got the attention of many fine women! It is a strong quality fragrance. Prior to this, I had never heard of the brand 212 or Carolina Herrera but now I am on my 4th bottle. It is ideal in the evening for all sorts of occasions, whether you are going to a party, restaurant, club, pub or even just visiting someone, This is the perfect fragrance that always gets noticed for the right reason. I cannot describe what it smells like really, you really have to just try it. I have become a fan of this and the entire range of 212 ...  Read the complete review

I now have a collection of over twenty different aftershaves/eau de toilettes. These range from budget fragrances, through to the more expensive, and through to celebrity brands. However the 212 aftershave definitely comes under the budget category, but this is no bad thing, it simply means that it is value for money. This is one of those rare fragrances where I enjoy the dry down as much of the top notes, usually it is one or the other especially when it comes on to the price this is available at, but not here. The top notes are different types of leaves, now whilst this is true, I also get a very citric smell from this initially, and after 30 minutes or so ...  Read the complete review

I discovered this fragrance while I was waiting in departures at Heathrow last year, as I was doing the usual routine that everyone does - spraying yourself with plenty of different eau de toilettes before boarding and annoying the other passengers by smelling like a tart's handbag. However this scent really appealled to me and I picked some up on the returning journey. Carolina Herrera's 212 Sexy for men, despite a slightly ridiculous name is an alluring fragrance which has hints of grapefruit, ginger, mandarin, green leaves and aqua musk. It's a pretty powerful smell, so you don't need to apply much making it last quite a long time. I like it as it is ...  Read the complete review

212 MEN was recommended to me a few years back as almost a "secret fragrance", only the best get to hear about it! It isn't as well known as say the Armani or Davidoff brands which actually works in its favour as I still get people asking what I'm wearing (In a positive way). I've now been using it on and off since my first recommendation because it really is a wonderfully aromatic and distinctive smell which people will notice. It's got a mix of wonderful spices and a slightly floral and "citrus-y" edge to it. It really is classy compared to some other fragrances out there. This feels as if it wasn't churned out in some East ...  Read the complete review

This is a fantastic fragrance but not something I would buy myself. I was given this by an ex girlfriend of mine and although L ike the smell I normally have fragrances that are stronger. It comes in a stylish cylinder shape bottle, with bold writing on the front of it. It is engraved with a mix colour of silver and black writing with 212 as the emblem. What I like about the bottle is that it comes in a really cool shape but also that it is very sturdy. I have broken two expensive after shaves in my time because they have been made of glass and they have been broken on the bathroom floor from knocking them over. If you happen to be a bit clumsy they this ...  Read the complete review
