Love it
Smells like a baby powder
I live the smell. It's not to heavy and last most of the day.
Smells great ?? but doesn't last long
This has a strong baby powder smell.
Surprised the description didn't mention powder as a prominent note.
Comes on very strong. Fairly powdery to me. Has a more chemical/artificial smell than the others I've tried.
I liked it and it was noticeable to other
Smells good I'm anxious to try them all
It smells good. Just not for me.
Love this fragrance 212 can’t wait to try the rest of the fragrances
It's ok, not my thing
one of the favs
Love this one
Not pleasant
Definitely not my type of cologne not sure how I feel about this one does think a little bit when you first put it on, but then mellows out
It smells like if someone forgot to wear deodorant and sprayed themselves with cologne instead. It is NASTY, but I mean NASTY, I can’t believe this is a fragrance it literally smells like body odor.
So yummy
Nice masculine scent
Love the scent!!
Great scent! Would smell good for whatever gender! Definitely one id like to put on repeat for my subscription!
Old lady smell
Females love it
Very subtle yet affective
Smells amazing but doesn't last very long.
I LOVE this on my hubby! He wasn't so sure at first but he really likes it now. Wears nice!
Nice spice to it doesn't last very long. Not to over manly tho if you like that type of thing. Fresh scent.
i thought it smelled like powder
I wear this as a women. It’s on the spicy side but has vanilla and powdery tones on me. It does not last as long as I like.
I think it’s terrible. Smells bad
Love this scent. It smells sexy on my man!
My wife just hugged me and said I smell delicious. 4 stars.
Smells nice it’s spicy and nice
Has a great scent and last long time
It smells FANTASTIC, definitely more of a going out scent or date night. Will definitely get a full size bottle!!
Slightly overpowering long lasting and I received a lot of compliments.
Smells great
Is a good one but not a very long lasting fragrance on me.
Weak
Smells nice
After about 7 months of subscription this is by far my favorite!
Amazing. I'm got to get my hands on a big bottle of this fragrance. If my memory serves me right. I think that I wore this daily.
terrible!!!!??
Love it
I don't love the scent
Smells incredibly sexy. Does not last long.
It smells nice
It’s a little too musky for me.
Great smooth scent, not overpowering. Loved it.
Do not like.
This straight up smells like baby powder. Not a favorite for me
Good
My new go to fragrance
4 stars
Good smell but doesn’t last long
Smells nice but doesn't last long
Hated it
Doesn't stay on u
Not sure why this one has so many negative reviews. I love the way it smelled. I have not found one in the fragrance for woman that I like yet but her fragrance for men smells really good!
It’s a very sweet smell and I enjoy it a lot. My only problem with it is the fragrance doesn’t last long.
Nice
Fire !
I love to wear this myself. I don't think it suits a man at all. It seems like a very feminine scent. My only complaint is that it doesn't last long.
As some others have said, this is definitely a Le Male clone. It is a little bit sweeter and the performance isn't as good. Though I did find the performance on 212 sexy to be better than the latest 212 men i received. Has a sweet vanilla kinda scent with some manlier muskier type scents. It's good but if you have or smelled le male, it's basically redundant, imo.
I enjoy it alright, but the wife can't stand it
Wife loved it
I really love this scent, it's super light and airy -- it is a bit fruity, but I like that a lot and it works well with my skin!! My wife really liked the scent on me as well!
Smells Awesome
My favourite scent. Fantastic
Smells great and lasts.
It is a copy of Le Male for sure, but without the projection and lasting. I gave it 3 stars because it is not close to the real 212 sexy man that I remember. People that say it is not similar to Le Male, probably never used it. I have used Le Male for about 7 years and I definitely know what it smells like.
Lovely, just lovely
Loved it.
It takes a few wears before you get used to the - smell. It starts off very pungent but mellows into whisper. However, it does pair nicely when layered with a flora tone.
Very nice scent. Last long for me. Not to feminine and perfect for any occasion
My wife didn't like it. She didn't care for the faint scent of black pepper and said it smelled like mild bad body odor. I exchanged it.
Smells like pencil shavings. Very disappointed!
I like it, it’s definitely sexy and appealing. I get a lot of compliments
Excellent
Pretty good
Amazing
Lots of compliments with this fragrance. Great when dressed up or casual, and spreads nicely when evenly spayed. Not overpowering at all, but announces itself as one walks up.
Smells amazing
Nice smell but didn't quite catch my fancy.
Love the scent. A little sweet, but great for the right environment.
Youthful flagrant sensual
I love the smell it's not overpowering.
It's a great scent which is why I ordered the larger bottle. I've been looking for a new scent since Blue Sugar became so difficult to find and priced far above my budget.
Love it!
Great scent
Not a very strong scent at all. Arms reach is about how far the scent travels .scent lasts about 4 hours and thats with 4 sprays first thing after a shower.
Light scent very nice
Have to admit this one wasn't one of my favorites. Smells like there was to much going on.
Smells really nice
Crisp, modern, fresh.
Smells good
Pleasent.
Smells amazing.
Smells very good. Goes on a bit harsh for me but really settles into a nice scent.
The smell is like a sweet but masculine smell almost similar To Armani code
Great
Smells like an older woman's perfume. Not masculine at all.
Not much of masculine scent!
So so...hum drum. Nothing really remarkable.
Didn't work for me, it had kind of a body odor undertone.
Makes me smell great!
Great smell , lasts pretty long
I love the smell
Love it
I love it and with everyone. I come in contact with love it to. thanks
I love it, last all day.
I absolutely love this cologne. Smells even better with time.
Its a clean fresh scent just not for me!! Might be the perfect scent for many just not me!
I love it, I chose it mainly due to its name, and I'm glad I did.
Very soft floral scent.
she liked it on me more than previous scents. she likey then i likey
I have nothing negative to say, my wife likes the fragrance
Smooth scent
A nice sweet and sexy scent able to use anytime day or night ...
It’s good
Smells nice, nothing special. Not great but not horrible either!
Like scent staying power not there
Not good at all!
Like what has been said, at first l really liked the sent, but as it mellowed I was less than happy with the scent.
Immediately after the first spray I felt like I would enjoy this fragrance. Loved the spicy-ness of it. Maybe the tobacco undertones. But after the first few minutes it mellowed into something more of a dirty body smell. Not good or appealing at all in my opinion. It definitely does not live up to its “Sexy’ name.
Ehhhhnnn... a bit too floral/powdery in the top notes for my taste. It does mellow out to something alright. Overall, not my taste.
I like the fragrance, although I generally avoid spicy scents, I have always loved musk and it wins the day here. Unfortunately, it doesn't last as long as some of my other fragrances.
This was not good in my opinion. The spray on was ok, but it was the after linger smell that got me. Smelt dirty not sexy.
I love it all CH 212 flankers smell gorgeous including the original last long on my skin it's not a beast but works
I cant believe that people dont like this. its one of the best sellers that i have and I always get compliments from both men and women once they smell it. Its also very long lasting.
I can see what people mean about the similarities to le male. However thats beside the point. Its still disgusting. I never liked Carolina Herrera . Her other colognes for men are no better. I have never bought anything of this brand - not for myself or anyone else. And never will !
I didn't like it. And females don't like that cigar smell. Doesn't last long either.
212 sexy I don´t like it at all. it smells like a cheap fragance, an I love CH parfumes. In my opinion Nothing to do with Le male by JPG wich is a premium scent. Sorry Dear Carolina you know I love you
I just wanted to confirm my paSt statement, after trying and trying over and over again... THIS IS A COPY OF Le Male BY JEAN PAUL GAULTHIER. No doubt.
I have been an extremely loyal and dedicated Carolina Herrera fan for years. In fact, my adoration goes back to 1999 when 212 MEN was first launched. Ever since, I've experienced perfect harmony with her fragrances. I often wondered how I have such good luck with the fragrances that she puts out. Deep in the back of my mind, I figured that at some point, my luck would stop. Unfortunately, that day came with 212 SEXY MEN. I was at work in my office when my 212 SEXY MEN arrived. I remember being so anxious to try it that I opened the box and tested it right there. Unfortunately, the first thing that came to my mind was, "This smells like LeMale!" There's a very interesting note at the start, which I really love, and it reminds me of an intense Dr. Pepper soda smell. It's really quite good, and falls in perfect harmony with the coloring of the 212 SEXY MEN packaging. Unfortunately, this experience doesn't last very long at all. A few minutes at best, and then the similarities to LeMale kick right in. For those who don't think this smells like LeMale, I think it's extremely critical to remember the original 212 fragrance and how it was even worked so nicely into the other derivatives of 212 such as 212 On Ice/212 H20, and the 212 WHITE limited editions. I find that with 212 SEXY MEN, the reference to the original has been almost hidden if not completely removed altogether. The concept and marketing for 212 SEXY MEN has been done with impeccable taste and in true "CH" style, which anyone who is interested in seeing can view here: http://www.carolinaherrera.com My favorite part of the marketing of 212 SEXY MEN is that they referenced, "New York's mythical nights." I think that was really brilliant, and quite accurate. The imagery of the Empire State Building glowing at night, in the start of the 212 SEXY MEN television spot is also quite impressive, and sets the tone for the fragrance. I have tried the scent several times after my initial encounter with it, and have had no luck whatsoever. I've tried it both on my skin, on test strips, etc. and my reaction is the same with each test. In fact, I have also tested them side by side with LeMale, and while they are different, the references to one another are so similar in some instances that they simply can't be ignored. On a good "note," I will continue to try 212 SEXY MEN to see if on some lucky day, my nose will be in perfect sync with my mind, allowing me to toss all references to LeMale out the window and to really enjoy my favorite area code (212) bototled, as it happens when the sun goes down.
this is not like le male, i cant stand that fragance, this 212 is oriented to a floral base similar with armani code, test both the same day and you will find similarities in the spicy-floral notes.. code is going to a creamy tunes and this 212 to a oriental base.. not a hit ok ? but is a really nice fragance for evening...
this happens to be the worst from carolina, how do such a fragrance happen on earth, worst pls discontinue.
SORRY BUT I HAVE TO DISAGREE BECAUSE THIS DOES NOT SMELL LIKE LE MALE AT ALL, SEEMS LIKE SOME PEOPLE IS HAVING OLFACTORY PROBLEMS.
This is NOT a Le Male clone. If you're looking for a Le Male clone, check out Britto Man, which manages to be a bit more suitable to wear because it has less of a floral element to it. 212 Sexy Men has some characteristics similar to Le Male, but to call it a clone is to confuse the point between say, a Mustang and an RX-8 because they're both cars. It doesn't take but a passing glance to realize there's a heck of a lot of difference between the two.
lover, this is jean paul as stated before. if you want an inexpensive (or cheap) 360 white by perry ellis. big dissapointment.
Well, this is Jean Paul gaulthier's Le Male! But a little bit spicier tough. Anyway. Have designers run out of creativity? i don't know why every scent is launched out there nowadays turns out to be a copy of other fragrances, examples? I love love= Light Blue, Del Mar= Nautica, L'Instant (m) = Emporio, Echo = Nautica Competition... etc. It seems some people have lost their inspiration.
