    Its truly lovely scent, specific one. But is it only me notice that after 1hr maximum and all is gone?!!!

    Very solid fragrance and this is a sleeper and under the radar fragrance for sure !
    BUT when I first sprayed it I was a little unsure about this ! This opens up smelling very fresh,but also slightly metallic ( the same metallic note in the originals) and also powdery. This smells 80% similar to Cuba Gold with the differences being that metallic note. In the heart this becomes more powdery and then your hit with that cardomom note that gives off this kind of animalistic BO note that’s kind of off putting but also kind of attractive(from what my fiancée says)
    Just like the reviewer below me stated, don’t let that BO note scare you away as after 10-15 minutes that note dissipates and your left with a powdery.fresh,vanilla sandalwood scent in the same vain as Cuba Gold and Le Male. In the drydown that vanilla and sandalwood really round this scent making it more smooth and appealing. My favorite part of this scent is the sandalwood in the drydown and it’s that reason alone why even though I have Cuba Gold,Fujiyama Gentlemen, and Le Male I will still keep this scent in my collection.
    Performance— this is moderate in terms of projection but it does leave a nice scent trail. This does last 5-8 hours but the last 2 hours you will barely be able to detect this.
    Overall rating- 8 out of 10 ! Very solid scent in the same vain as Cuba Gold and Le Male but the spice,sandalwood and animalistic BO note make this different and more unique then those scents.
    Sidenote- try this before you buy it as even though that BO note fades on my skin others may have different outcomes.
    When I wore this the first time my fiancée I immediately complimented me and said this goes really well with my skin chemistry.
    It’s also good for summer if you go lighter on the sprays

    I have to agree about a “body odor” scent people get from this but don’t be afraid because that’s only if you sniff up close and that does go away.
    Of coarse this is a Le male copy but better. If your looking for Le male buy this instead it’s better now.

    I know fragrances smell different from person to person. I don’t have anything negative to say about this and I really like it. A nice spicy vanilla. One of my new favorites. I guess this mixes badly with some people’s body chemistry and gives off a bad note but thankfully it smells like heaven in a bottle…on me. I would feel kind of lucky that it mixes well with me but believe me there are certainly ones that don’t, including most citrus and the vaunted Club de Nuit Intense turns to lemon Pledge on me. Goes to show not every fragrance will work on every person. I enjoy this one but I’d say try it first as it seems like I got lucky buying this blind and having it work out so well.

    this was amazing when I tried it 4 years ago. I still have the old bottle. it smells sweet and nice. so why are there so many bad reviews about it? is it reformulated?

    wow!, this scent brings back memories.
    the moment i sprayed this on i was instantly transported back in time…
    to when i was about 10 years old, and my father would take me to an old dingy pub after a cricket match. the kind of old pub only bored depressed locals go to because its close and easy and the beer is cheap. the carpets haven’t been cleaned in years. and then its time to use the bathroom..the one down stairs.. that is an old converted cellar. bang there it is, 212 sexy men. urinal cakes, old damp cellar, sweat and urine.
    It has most of my Favorite notes. how did it get soo soo wrong
    this is not for me. can’t imagine it is for anyone

    I can’t believe Alberto Morillas created this. I just couldn’t stand it when tried it.

  8. :

    4 out of 5

    Smells extremely similar to Le Male, and also similar to the dry down of Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme.

    5 out of 5

    I received it in my B-day and test it for a week but it is not for me… this scent does not have a good performance on my skin, no smell at all, now it is in the closet of my parent… LOL

    JPG Le Male + Heavy chili/ spicy notes and you get 212 Sexy Men. This fragrance makes my stomach turn every time. Opening blast is intense. Gives off a repulsive BO smell after a few minutes of initial spray. This is by no means sexy and if you’re looking to offend people, wear this.

  11. :

    ´s like a mix between burberry touch and le male …
    good for winter nights … not that synthetic headacher like le male and a bit less pepper/powderiness than burberry touch

  12. :

    4 out of 5

    if you love burberry touch get this….very beautiful drydown and nice vanilla and soft cozy frag for cooler nights, love this stuff

    I was really hoping this one would be good considering Carolina Herrera is my favorite designer and she hasnt let me down until now. I dont know, its either the musk or the guiac wood that just smells like vanillic body odor to me. I just got it so I haven’t tested it too much, but it doesnt seem great. Maybe its bevause the original 212 dna doesnt mix well with sweet notes. Thats what it seems like is happening here.
    I dont get anything green or citrusy. Just vanilla musc and wood. Maybe a bit of the cardamom. Not a bind buy decision for me. Glad I got it from scentbox.
    If anyone gets the B.O smell please let me know. Thanks!

    year 2007, it was new and expensive, but the girl who sold me this fragrance for the first time told me…you will come again for another bottle… and I did 😀

    Smells good but has no projection and doesn’t last.Very weak!
    Le Male is really much better.
    Not worth buying.

    The Le Male from Carolina Herrera 😉

  17. :

    4 out of 5

    So I read the last review and thought I would compare to Le Male… it smells like the same juice. Le Male is really boring to me. It smells like barber shop cream but some days I like it as an alternative, it’s nice and clean smelling but nothing special – perhaps a good base for trying out different mixes, layering etc…
    Its really nice when you spray Individuel over it (The mix is similar to Le Male Terrible). I am judging from a splash sample on the wrist… probably not something I would buy though to me, the drydown seems a bit more refined and less powdery than Le Male..

  18. :

    This is how your balls will smell like after sweating it from playing basketball (A nice sweaty Smell,Given you took a Good Shower before the Game ) maybe this is why it is called sexy man, it smells like a Sweaty-Fresh Male Genital.don’t get me wrong but this is my perception on how this smells like.also maybe the reason Girls are liking it,LOL! I’m actually wearing it today. 🙂

    This is a story about 212 Sexy Men, a cologne I really wanted to try out and like before I even opened the box…but hate to say I was a little disappointed. Now don’t pop my balloons so soon it’s still a nice scent its just not for me. Maybe I ain’t sexy enough to wear it with my beer belly and all but things got bumpy after the first initial spray!
    That first spray is strong and mixed with powerful emotions like an angry orange eating a flower on a suede blanket with baby powder being sprinkled around…oh and maybe a drop or two of vanilla oil. After the dust clears up this is where my skin goes bi-polar and the powder and vanilla begin to compete for attention. It smells like powder now, no wait its vanilla, no now its back to powder again. My mind is amazed at my nostrils as it tries badly to identify either scent. But out of no where wood comes to the rescue and sticks a splinter into the vanilla’s heart and marrys the powder for 4 to 6 hours. It’s an awesome honeymoon because periodically vanilla gets invited for a threesome but does not keep up to well. Finally everything begins to fade out and tommorow is almost ready to begin.
    So yeah it smells nice just not my style.

    Hit in the face with vanilla and citrus and o like…
    Last about six to 8 hours…
    Sillage is at arm’s length.
    Smells nice, would I buy it no.
    Nothing really special about it.
    I would drop names of other scents…
    But comparing isn’t helping pick this scent.
    It should be able to stand on its own.
    So saying that i’d buy this for someone I really didn’t care for.
    They’d like it because it’s simple scent…
    That last a little more than ave.
    Save your money for something better.

    a couple of days ago i´ve had an opportunity to smell original pre-reformulated version of Le Male. I´ve got CH sexy men at home … and tried to spray a bit over the summer days (bllaaaahh, that was awful) …
    now when the cold winter days are coming, i maybe spray it on my coat whilst going out somewhere to the centre of town …. from time to time it´s good
    it really reminds me the smoothness of original Le Male

    Razmale, still available, not discontinued, because also listed on the site 🙂

  24. :

    5 out of 5

    this is the best men fragrance from Carolina Herrera. I’ve been told that they discontinue this one. I was like, what the hell? this is like the best seller of them all, it is quite famous among the men.
    Hell yeah it makes you feel sexy just like it’s name. This is the most manly scent i have ever smell. Sexy, masculine, macho. all you want your guy / yourself to smell like.
    smell, sillage, longevity are the best! highly recommended!

  25. :

    4 out of 5

    its good for days and cold nights, parties, dinners, some dates…

  26. :

    3 out of 5

    First of all, I don’t get vanilla from this and this does not come off feminine in any way. It had a cardamom forward nose with guiac wood and musk. It’s a nice scent, warm and inviting but ultimately generic in a charming way.
    It can come off powdery and reserved so I think this is a perfectly acceptable workplce scent and nobody on the aubway will get mad at you for wearing it.
    Not much to say really which is not a good thing.
    Scent: 6/10 nice but not groundbreaking.
    Longevity: 4/10 I only get a few hours out of this and it starts fading fast.
    Projection: 4/10 it only gets a little lift from the skin.
    Sillage: 5/10 interestingly it performs a little better when in motion.
    Would I buy this again? No but I know people who love it and it works well on them so take it with a grain of salt.

  27. :

    3 out of 5

    It is a better version of JPC le male. However I dont like this vanila note for man. Vanilla is feminie scent.

  28. :

    3 out of 5

    It smells fresh from start to finish, not floral, but something cooling, like it’s ice or toothpaste. It lasts a long time, I could smell it after 8 hours without having to dig my nose into my skin but it does not project much. It’s that kind of fragrance you wear only if you want people to smell you when they whisper in your ear or give you a hug.

  29. :

    4 out of 5

    I like it only after a few hours of spraying it, the first 1-2 hours is a headache for me and yes it does have a little scent of body odour to it, i think it smells like old man’s perfume during the first 2 hours. After 3-4 hours I can smell the soft vanilla scent. To me it is not sexy at all. Not good if you want to smell good at the moment you sprayed it on.

    Joey,

    Smells nice and it’s really fresh, light and summery. Masculine and sweet at the same time.

    The Drydown Is Lovely and warm woody

  34. :

    5 out of 5

    Yes I agree with those that say it has a BO, It does, but its not a Major BO,I’m not sure which note causes the BO but thos scent is a lil cheapish smells exactly like Sadie Rollon. I Just bought last friday and I dont think i will ever buy buy it again and its also a clone of JPG le male.

  35. :

    3 out of 5

    It was blind buy, remembering I used to love the 212 back in the late 90’s or early 2000, when it came up, but this one doesn’t really reminds me the original version at all; it could’ve been named differently, for me is not a flanker since the smell is a totally different. Anyhow, I can say I like it, but not as much. I found more similarity to Rochas Man and not much with JPG.
    I am still finding out how is performing, so far 2 hrs. only since I sprayed it on, it has dried down closely to the skin, I think it has moderate to low sillage. May update later…

  36. :

    Well, i love it! Wearing with 212 sexy body deodorant and finally layer with 212 sexy men frag.. It’s perfect

  37. :

    5 out of 5

    I nearly pulled the trigger on a bottle after having had two samples, but no. It took a while, but I eventually found the pepper note here being to loud in the mix.

  38. :

    3 out of 5

    Nice peppery vanilla. Much nicer than le male I reckon.
    Lasts and projects very well for an EDT.
    The musk is a little heavy at times, which can smell a little ‘off’.
    At 47 years old, it seems a little young for me nowadays. Still wear and enjoy it at home though.

  39. :

    5 out of 5

    Hm, my favorite fragrance. The bottle is cool, very high quality and the scent is so special/unique. I think that this scent is safe, not so heavy, and girls really like it. I am using it to the office and for special moments too.

  40. :

    4 out of 5

    I definitely tried this perfume before I’m sure of it, there’s so many 212 Flankers now it’s a little hard to keep track.
    If you wanted to create a Sexy version of 212 this would certainly be how you’d go about it, much warmer than the original and a generally sweeter, more cozy, oriental feel to the whole thing.
    Upon re-sampling recently, It reminded me of fragrance flankers like Hot Water, or the older Xeryus Rouge but still with those synthetic and green tones of the original poking through. The overall feel though is one of creamy vanilla, musk, amber and spiced woods which oddly retains quite a masculine demeanor throughout.
    It’s quite a throw away flanker and truly nothing special but I really like it, the same way I did the original in the late 90’s.
    I didn’t really pay much attention to the performance but that tells me it can’t have been anything remarkable.
    If I see it marked down in price I’d buy 212 Sexy Men as it’s typical of something I might reach for when I’m not sure what to wear.

  41. :

    4 out of 5

    So… I thought that this frag is pretty generic. You can feel the vanilla, pepper and wood in it, and for me it’s just nice, a 6/10. But it seems that girls really like it and give it 8/10 (it was tested on 2 girls).

  42. :

    4 out of 5

    Theres a soft spicy vanilla smell with a bit of dirty-sweaty smell which isnt good,nor bad,yes its similar to le male and 1 million,1 million wins between these 3,i love vanilla,but its not as vanilla as i thought,its just a powdery soft spicy vanilla similar to bvlgari black
    Scent:6.5
    Bottle:6
    Unique:6
    Sillage:BOMB AT FIRST SPRAY,fades to average-soft after 2 minutes and lasts for 5 hours like that,6.5
    Longevity:6
    Repurchase:probably no..

  43. :

    5 out of 5

    I bought this perfume because of its name. First I thought, not another le male. But Sexy Men is an improvement over le male. It´s like a softer, much more comforting version. There is some dark vanilla (guaiac?) that shuts down the candy smell so it smells very pleasant.
    It has a very light sillage and doesn´t project long. Then it gets to a soft scent which stays in your radius. Intimate. A self seducer. The review was made for the vintage version.

  44. :

    4 out of 5

    I get that funny “dirty” note in 212 SM. I assume it’s meant to be the sexy part of this fragrance. It fades away rather quickly though. 212 Sexy Men is indeed quite similar to JPG Le Mâle, but not as bold and intrusive. 212 SM is creamier and more pleasant to me. Glad I got a sample of this, will probably get myself a bottle. I like 212 Sexy Men!
    EDIT:
    I’m at the end of my 3 ml sample now, I like this scent even more now. No problems with longevity on my skin and the projection seem just right. I get small whiffs still after 9 hours, especially if I get a bit warm and sweaty. Great juice!

  45. :

    5 out of 5

    Sniffed this in passing, asked what it was, then sought a sample at a perfume shop. Basically, yes, it does have the Le Male vibe, and yes, its nothing like regular 212. But thats good thing. I didn’t like original 212. And reformulated Le Male gives me a splitting headache and nausea.
    Think: Le Male with more natural vanilla, no coumarin, no baby vomit, and no mint.

  46. :

    5 out of 5

    It’s not a good fragrance. In my skin it is heavy and if you want to smell your own fragrance it disturbs you. It can be used at cold winter nights. Not winter mornings or any time of year. Also it smells interesting at first 1-2 weeks but after that I got bored of it.

  47. :

    3 out of 5

    I got this one from friend of mine. It is kind of bitter vanilla if such thing exist. Sexy? May be yes, depends who is wearing it.

  48. :

    vintage
    Age range: 18++ (for bad boy!)

    Scent : 9/10
    Scent : sexy sweet scent blend with testosterone hehe

    This is very sexy, sweet but masculine.. girls love this fragrance

  49. :

    4 out of 5

    Although I find this scent quite forgettable, my lady loves it on me. I do get the body odor vibe some people get from it, but it’s not prominent on my skin, and other people actually think it smells good. I’m not sure I’d buy a second bottle, but I sure won’t have issues going through the one I have. I also understand the comparisons with Jean Paul Gaultier’s Le Male, but the mint makes “The Male” a much lighter scent, while 212 Sexy is very thick, in my opinion. I love the former, but can totally live without the latter.
    My 212 Sexy Men rating:
    Projection/Sillage: 6/10 (1 hour);
    Longevity: 7/10 (6-7 hours);
    Versatility: 6/10 (casual, date, cold weather – never wear it in the heat);
    Scent: 6/10;
    Overall: 6/10.
    Conclusion: If it smells good on your skin, and it’s cold outside, it’s perfect for a romantic setting. It projects well for the first hour, then it sticks close to the skin. I wouldn’t wear it on warm days, though, as the heat makes the scent much thicker, and the B.O. aspect of it will no doubt rear its ugly head. You have been warned.

  50. :

    tested this one today.
    I really liked it, I got a summery-coconuty vibe. Don’t get the b.o smell everyones talking about. I guess I’ll test it again and see how that goes.
    So tried this one again…2 sprays on my neck. After 30 mins my mate told me it smells like B.O.
    I don’t really get it. But if other people think it has a b.o smell, I’m not buying it.
    Even tho I like it. :/

  51. :

    I tried this at a mall and had my wife and 3 of her female friends smell it from my wrist and they all had one conclusion, it smells like a bad body odor. I agree with them. I’m not saying that the people that loves this doesn’t have a taste. Maybe, It just doesn’t agree with my body chemistry.

  52. :

    4 out of 5

    This is a very odd cologne. Men tend to not like it on themselves; however, women seem to love it on their men.
    Initially I put it on and I got a whiff of cedar and vanilla and bergamot. Nothing special and after a while I wasn’t too impressed. I went to bed and the following morning I was snuggling with my wife and she dove into my chest….she LOVED it.
    So….while I might not be a fan, I guess I am a fan. 😉
    Don’t get me wrong, I’m not finding it obnoxious. It’s just that to me it seems so-so. As some guys have commented, on ourselves we tend to smell a body odor or curry powder (although to me it’s just a slightly off funk), but, hey….it’s not always about what we smell on ourselves, right?

  53. :

    this thing really stinks on my skin. it has a body odor top note that make this frag a total mess and not sexy at all.

  54. :

    It very similar to Le Male which like but got bored of it so needed something different but have the same vibe.
    212 sexy man is less louder than Le Male and more mature. Love the peppery green opening as well as it dry down is similar to Le Male but the cardomin is more intense

  55. :

    4 out of 5

    Instead of this perfume you can try it’s duplicate one which is available in the market named sexy men 555 with exactly the same smell with more than 12 hours longevity… Try n pass

    Não recomendo nem um pouco comprar esse perfume no escuro, em mim ficou com cheiro de vestiário masculino sujo. Não ficou bem na minha pele, quem tem peles que fecham as fragrâncias pensem duas vezes antes de comprar esse.

    Layer sexy 212 with Lynx Africa shower gel and body spray amazing combo. Least that way you dont have to buy the matching shower gel and body spray for the cologne an save some cash at same time

    Vanillanya lembut, gak terlalu manis, enak, cewek pasti suka deket2.
    Paling cocok dipake ditempat sejuk, malam hari. Dipake di ruangan kantor ber-AC siang hari juga masih cocok.
    Longevity jelek, bertahan hanya 3-4 jam di saya, wajib bawa decant buat re-spray. Masalah utama parfum ini di longevity nya, tapi krn aromanya enak masih bisa dipertimbangkan lah buat tambah koleksi.
    212 Men masih jauh lebih bagus longevity nya..

    curried le male. nauseating at first. Better after an hour or two.

    mungkin, ini adalah scent vanilla terbaik yg pernah saya koleksi di samping JPG gaultier 2. ini mah 100% compliment pasti hinggap saudara2. Ladies suka bgt notes nya. Gw da ambis ampe 3 botol ama nih parfum. gw kehabisan kata2 mau jelasin gimana lagi about nih scent! nyesel aja sih sampe lu gak punya. just it.
    Update 26/8/2014:
    saya sedikit terkejut karna barusan membeli 1 botol sexy men lagi dan lagi (total sudah 4 botol xixixi) dan ternyata notes nya berubah…. sangat mengecewakan… mungkin sudah di reformulasi. tidak ada lagi notes sexy yg selama ini menjadi trademark sexy men… dengan longevity yang cuma 5 jam saja. betul2 mengecewakan…

  61. :

    4 out of 5

    the first spray smells just like le male by gaultier and the dry down is slightly similar to 1 million but way lighter and i have 1 million and le male and clinique…i’m also getting some hints of mint.. some orange.. it’s like a mix of clinique happy, le male and 1 million with some very light chocolate vibe… and to those who click this as a “heavy scent” i really don’t understand what’s “light” to you… coz i don’t find it heavy at all. nice bottle and a magnetic one though… that’s just it but in terms of projection… errr… not so sure about that.

    tried this twice at the store and found it veeery similar to pi givenchy (the strong vanilla note) but this one is way stronger since Pi seems to have been reformulated…

    I love 212 Sexy Man. The vanilla is delicious in this fragrance. It is sweet, masculine and sexy. It is strong at first but the dry down is very soft. I can smell it on me from time to time, and I love that. It is perfect for office wear or day time outings.

  64. :

    5 out of 5

    212 Sexy Men is an exceptionally well layered and blended oriental fougere that emits a baby powder, silky smooth French vanilla and fresh spice vibe that goes on much more organically and is less intrusive but lacks the overall excitement of its flashier inspiration; JPG’s Le Male.
    Morillas and Mateu do a very professional job here of containing the cardamom, pepper and amber into a very narrow palette which in the early stages gives hints of an West London Indian restaurant aroma of curry spilling out the chimney but it is quickly reigned in by the powerful vanilla base which comes forward rather quickly in the wear to dominate throughout and give 212 Sexy Men its powdery, sweet essence.
    The vanilla works as a filter from which all the other notes are drowned out except for traces of exotic woods in the dry-down and the warming amber, light floral touch and fragments of sour citrus that are deeply embedded in the mixture. The vanilla in 212 Sexy Men is beautifully done, it just seems much closer to the real thing than almost any other vanilla based fragrance on the market.
    This is great for late fall, winter and early spring and in my view works really well as a work or casual fragrance because it isn’t so overwhelming or overpowering and though a bit powdery, there’s a subtle balance to it that is uplifting and warming at the same time. Longevity is decent, at around 6-10 hours with quite a bit of variation in my experience and projection can also vary with generally nothing more than moderate projection on my skin.
    This scent may be a bit too powdery for everyone’s taste, so keep it on the shelf for a date, formal event or job interview. 212 Sexy Men has gone down significantly in price over the last year and can easily be picked up for under $40 and makes a great alternative or complimentary option to Le Male when something more subtle or organic is called for. If you like vanilla, you will enjoy this thoroughly. If you don’t, you might still like the subtle balance of spice, sweetness and exotic woods in 212 Sexy Men and this may be the powdery fragrance that changes your mind about the wear-ability of powdery fragrances.

    Smells like JPG Le Male with a hairspray note added. You’ll probably like this if you like Le Male.
    Not my cup of tea.
    6/10

    After several years later I decided to acquire 212 Sexy Men, I found this fragrance AMAZING. … a real masculine fragrance deep aroma which is best during the fall and winter days. The notes that I’m able to pick up as soon as I spray it is mandarin orange as well cardamom. After the fragrance settles I can smell a woodsy-spicy-oriental aroma from sandalwood, guaiac and definitely black pepper which makes it a real attractive masculine fragrance. The three final notes of Musk, Amber and especially vanilla which gives this fragrance a real sweet/warm vib :))) I personally find it to be A BEAST OF A JUICE.
    Longevity is well past 8hrs considering I have a tester. Silage is also excellent if your in a mall you will be noticed.
    Overall thoughts,
    If you want to impress your friend or partner spray it on your chest twice and she might experience multiple orgasms ❤❤❤
    What else could be said…in a word SEXY !! Rating is easy 7.5/10 ★★★ 🙂
    Update, Feb 24th 2016
    After trying it during the winter months, I realized that I was enjoying warm vib from vanilla. The spicy /woodsy aroma givesit depth. Very unique, not your generic fragrance at all. I still enjoy this juice

    If I had to describe ‘212 Sexy Men’ with a word, it would probably be interesting.
    from the beginning it starts sweet-y. And it remains like that. I don’t know what to say anything else than that. It’s not fresh, it’s not woody, heavy or floral… it’s just sweet. It kind of gives you a slight sense of cool, but nothing more. and it doesn’t last at all.

    Everything was already said about this one. A woody-vanilla one.
    I like it a lot, but sometimes i also get the ‘deodorant’ thing about it.

    Gosh! really thought I was the only one to feel the bad smell like body odor when using this perfume! Sometimes it suffocates me!

  71. :

    5 out of 5

    Since I bought this cologne, my friends and mom said that I smells good. But I find it quite awful sometimes, quite suffocating with a hint of body odor too. So one day I sprayed it on my wrist, after 30 minutes I ask my mom to sniff my wrist and she back off and asked wth is that. So now I know that people can’t be smelling this directly from skin. Also to take not more than 2 sprays will do. The subtle smell is good, but when it’s a bit too over, it can be quite awful. Oh yea, if you’re living in hot, humid or in summer time, this cologne is not recommended. It may make you and everyone else dizzy especially after 2-3 hours combined with your body odor

    definetely armani code!!!!!!

    Smells like code and le male mixed together with some curry. There is definitely an indian food/sweat note in there that I can’t get past

    I would say that this is one of the top five of vanilla based men’s scents. It’s a lovely smooth oriental that lasts.

  76. :

    I just can’t take the powdery part of this one.

  77. :

    3 out of 5

    I don’t know why people are comparing this to le male, maybe its because it has vanilla in the top,,
    I would say its much more like la nuit de lomme or Armani eau de nuit or code,, but in my opinion this is much better, an amber and musky monster with decent siliage and exellant longevity,,I detected a faint iris note,even though its not listed but its the same iris that’s in dhi.
    This is really nice juice, dark and mysterious and oozes sexyness ,and I don’t think I’ll be purchasing armanis eau de nuit,which I got a sample of and loved it, but this is much better.
    Overall this gets a 8 out of 10 from me,,this is one of those I’ve been looking for in my frag journey, and will always remain in my collection,,love it..
    If you think this is gonna be anything like le male your gonna be seriously dissapointed..

    212 Sexy is a great nightly perfume of the CH house, and the fragrance is between Le Male and Armani Code. The entrance notes resembles much to Le Male, because the intense vanilla and fresh notes, that resembles the mint of the Le Male.
    After some minutes, this perfume evolves similarly to Armani Code, because the bergamot very noticeable and citric notes, as mandarin orange.
    After 40 minutes in my skin, 212 Sexy have one of the best background notes that i have tested. Closes with a amazing woody note (Guaiac Wood), differentiating the others two scents.
    212 Sexy is one perfume for nights, parties and meeting with a women.
    Scent: 7
    Versatility: 6
    Longevity: 9
    Projection: 9

    Mixing 212 Sexy and Le male? sounds pretty interesting, I will do that tonight! good idea Jonycake.

    At the risk of being crucified by die hard fans of either 212 or Le Male… Try mixing them.
    Longevity of le male adds to what’s lacking in 212 and 212 tones down the harsh synthetic mint notes a bit of le male. They’re both vanilla based so the mix is heavenly.
    I own both and find Le Male to be too loud for what it smells like, yet 212 to be too subtle. When they mix, it’s the perfect projection and the perfect scent.
    Before you chew me out, TRY IT.

    212 Sexy and Le Male are NOT THE SAME, they do not even smell similar, whoever says that, does not know any better. If you LOVE SWEET frags (PI, 1 Million, Ultrared)you have to get this one.

    Do not compare this with Le Male. 212 Sexy is a more sophisticated scent, not thacky and strongly animal-sweet as Le Male. A perfect fragrance to leave in your lover’s sheets.

    This smells sweet, a bit plasticky.
    I prefer the original 212.

    smell is sexy & attractive. but not long lasting, also it is not heavy. Expensive too

  86. :

    It’s the original Le Male, just cheaper smelling and even more synthetic. There may be even more “vanilla” in this than Le Male too, although it smells wholly artificial. If you like Le Male, don’t do it. If you hate Le Male… RUN!!!

    It really smells like sex, it might be the musk…

    Smells very similar to Le male but 212 is better and more well balanced.
    It a sexy scent for a club for sure in winter.

    If I were a boy, this is exactly the type of scent I would wear. And sniff. All day long.
