I'm very strict on my ratings. I gave my ultimate favorite a 5, then my favorites a 4. This is one of my favorites. I love the dark woody scent and the nutmeg linger. It's a definite buy on my half. Thank you Carolina Herrera. You truly know how to make some great cologne!

this is the best fragrance i ever smelled.its clean,oriental,and has a nice musky woody drydown with a hint of vanilla.also the pepper and flowers are well detected in the middle-notes.many people compare this product with jpg le male,i really like this fragrance,but i hate le male,so if this wass like le male i wouldnt like it though,le male has an anoying opening and than just vanilla,nothing else,while 212 sexy men has much more depth and is terrific from top to base.i have jused many fragrances in my life but i really think this will be the one for the rest of my life,try it,its the best there is.its like a mix of zino davidoff and burberry brit.so run to your local dep store and test it,give it some time so you can really smell the base and get it,you wont be dissapointed.

I use the perfume almost everywhere I go. Sadly the bottle is too small for me. I would recommend this perfume to all girls who want to smell sexy. Probably my favorite perfume there is on the market.

This perfume is an excellent choice for someone that wants to smell unique. I personally love wearing a scent that has everyone asking what it is, and this is one of those scents. It has a smell that you just can't place, but you want to sniff yourself all day long. It stays strong for the majority of the day, and the scent doesn't change throughout the day like a lot of other scents tend to do on me. If you want to be different and get a lot of compliments while doing it, this is the scent for you.

Well.. the bottle looks nice- but is hard to use- The scent is sweet and nice at first.. but when it mixes with your natural sceant.. at least mine.. WHAM.. it was STRONG and overwhelming.. this is not very sexy, it actually gave a few co-workers headaches..

Questions and Answers

Q: How does Carolina Herrera 212 cologne smell?

A: 212 cologne for men is a woody floral fragrance. You can expect a top of green notes, bergamot, grapefruit, spices, petitgrain and lavender. This cologne has middle notes of ginger, violet, gardenia and sage followed by base notes of musk, sandalwood, incense, vetiver, guaiac wood and labdanum.

Q: Where do you apply 212?

A: To increase the longevity of the fragrance, spray onto your major pulse points such as behind your ears, at the base of your neck, on the wrists, behind the knees and in the inner elbows.

Q: What is the fragrance concentration in 212 cologne?

A: 212 cologne is an eau de toilette. Like other EDT fragrances, this cologne has an essential perfume oil concentration of 5-15%. This fragrance has moderate longevity and strength due to this concentration.

Q: Is this cologne for him or her?

A: Carolina Herrera targeted men during the creation of 212 cologne. However, woody floral fragrances like this can have a significant female following, so if you enjoy these types of colognes, check the scent notes to determine whether the fragrance is right for you.

Q: Does 212 cologne last long?

A: Carolina Herrera’s 212 is an EDT, so it should last up to four hours. Your environment, especially if you are outside in breezy weather or a building with strong air conditioning, can impact longevity. If you think your environment will impact how long your fragrance lasts, consider adapting your application method. For example, you can add a spritz to your clothing and hair for a longer-lasting fragrance. You can also lighten your application by foregoing your pulse points and walking through the mist after you spritz the air.

Q: What fragrances smell similar?

A: If you like the scent in 212 cologne, consider also purchasing Colonia Intensa Oud Eau de cologne Concentree by Acqua di Parma, Meu Bem Estar Conforto de Algodao by Agua de Cheiro, or 1a Classe Sandalo From Oceania by Alviero Martini.

Q: What season should I wear it?

A: When you spritz this men's fragrance by Carolina Herrera, you will find characteristic spring notes, including green notes, petitgrain, bergamot, grapefruit, violet, gardenia, sage, lavender, musk, vetiver, incense, sandalwood and labdanum. This fragrance is also popular during the summer months.

Q: Where can I buy 212 cologne?

A: Perfume.com is perhaps one of the best online fragrance retailers to shop 212 because we offer the widest selection of authentic perfumes and colognes, competitive pricing, and top-notch customer service.
