Base notes
212 Men by Carolina Herrera is a captivating fragrance featuring citrus, green, musky accords. It opens with Grapefruit, Bergamot, transitions to a heart of Ginger, Gardenia, and settles into a base of Musk, Sandalwood. A timeless creation for the modern connoisseur.
Scent story
212 Men smells like New York in the nineties, and I mean that as a compliment. Grapefruit and bergamot open sharp and urban, then ginger and gardenia give it a green, slightly floral coolness, like a rooftop garden above the traffic. Musk, sandalwood, and vetiver dry it down clean and modern. To me it is the scent of ambition with good manners. Hard to go wrong with this one.
