Man, you are quickly becoming one of my favourite reviewers, and cool that you are giving 212 some love, an all time classic and hands down the best fragrance from CH (sorry CH Men and Privé). Scentwise, one of the best green scents ever created, as for performance, after who knows how many reformulations, still a beast! You cannot ask for much more... Great review!

its kinda under rated now as kids dont know the value of this.the newer boring summer scents cant beat this beast :)
This is my favorite from 212 series love it the best of them all
This fragrance last 10 hrs in my skin... Love this frag... even compliments... Regards from Brunei
I still love and owe this more than 14years... still one of my fav & no others brand can replace this scent. Unique smell. Even though not much ppl wear this, but when someone does wear it and walk past, I will smile because they use 212 Men :D

Actually it's a very popular fragrance, it's been in the top 10-20 list since it's release and it's Carolina Herrera flagship scent it's their personal top selling fragrance. Just because you don't smell it much in the community doesn't change anything. It's interesting most men don't wear fragrances.
Very great review. I've been wondering about the 212 fragrance collection for both men and women. Sounds great.
I agree reformulations are going to keep happening.. I love this fragrance
Thanks Joy Da for the review
My SOTD yesterday! I always get that "you smell good!" Comment whenever I wear this. I have no complaints with this one. Was a cool 60 degree day out and it was between this and Cool Water.
I picked up the little bottle super cheap from Fragrancenet (blind buy) smells somewhere between good and great and it performs well on my skin and a spray or two on my clothes and I'm good for 8+ hrs easily .. and I've gotten a fair share of compliments. For the price I have absolutely zero complaints
the intro was hilarious, great review.
Just picked this up last night I like it so far
Great review bro,cheers
I bought 212 back in December 2022. I have great memories from a holiday years ago wearing this. Difficult to gauge if it's as good as the original because it was so long ago, what I can say however is it smells how I remember and performs really well on me. CH Chic arrived today too, I'm just about to test!
hi joy, can you do review on 212 VIP club and 212 VIP wild party? Those are amazing scents in my opinion. just didn't see that many review yet. really wanna hear your thought on those perfumes. cheers!!!
My uncle had a bottle of the original version in the 90’s ... one of the best colognes I had ever smelled as a kid... fast forward to now... I came across this very version ( 212 men nyc ) thinking it was the original ... to me it just don’t have the kick to it like I remember, hence to why I see everyone saying it’s somewhat watered down and has no longevity ... but I’ve read some like it... I want to return it but I may just roll with it to see how it performs ... thanks
i get absolutely no longevity issues with this one. even hours later when i can't smell it & hav returned home my wife is like "why are u spraying on cologne at home?". My rainy day scent along with Cool Water. (which i wore today). If i'm doing something, i go with 212 Men, if it's just a casual runaround, i go with Cool Water

Hey you should do Carolina Herrera for Men. The one from the early 90's with the polka dot box.
The way this has the fresh green powdery smell ik it sounds boring and genetic but even after owning so many fragrances this is my absolutely favourite. Fucking amazing

@@gurpartapsran2672 I discovered 212 through a customer at a job. It projected well and left a great scent trail and lingered after he was gone. It definitely is not weak 👍🏼
One of the longest lasting fragrance I've used... My 3rd bottle, from top notes to dry down... The silage... Its an all time classic.. Just be careful of not putting too much at a time... A haunting fragrance...

Hope u didn't purchase from grey market. Also the way, temperature at which it's stored in the stores is important. Never buy the one's kept on display with light bulbs around'em. Also skin chemistry differs. U cam try one puff each beneath a 100% cotton shirt and check the longevity. 212 men is such a beast that one may get a whiff even after a wash...

All time performer!

I love to pare 212 Men with a smell alike 212 Men fragrance body oil. With the combo it turns into a Massive projector and long sillage. The scent trail is a Big W😮W !!
Which clone would be good instead of 212 men Carolina herrera
this juice got me hooked into the fragrance game.Still i find it so damin unique. And performance was just great, not sure about current formulation

Just bought one, i dont get any performance brother. 😩😫
212 men clone in armaf or any other brand ???
I think it came out in 1999
It went down 199 in malaysia
Reformulated ruined watered down crap = current formulation 212, must be the heat that makes it perform because this stuff was gone on my skin within 3 hours and was a skin scent in 15mins. Pleased you get good performance with it Joy 👍hope your well brother.

Yeah i bought a vintage 2007 vintage formulation before the nyc bullshit on the package, unopened or tampered with and it had spoilt, absolutley gutted 😲😕😔
Nope I am using it and it’s only last for 2 hr and projection is hardly 15 minted
agreed dyln bleu it's no performance and very weak. I love 212 for more than 12 years I used it and never hide in my collection.
first
It smells like Euphoria(CK) to me.
