It has cold green vibe to it,also has very nice floral vibe,its dry down is really good,very very versatile,happy to have it,it has classy gentleman side,suggest you to try.

Green and vibrant, not suit and tie occasion, though. More outdoorsy. If it were a BMW, it would be the X3 series.

Had a decant of this to try out, and while I love the scent itself, the performance was lackluster on my skin.
Never got the fresh cut grass vibe like so many others. In fact I got no trace of green notes at all. On me, this was all grapefruit, ginger, and spices. Which is delicious, but I smelled zero base notes, and the scent disappeared within 1 to 2 hours. Which is a damn shame, because it’s a great smell.
It’s a like for me, but not a love, and based on my experience, I wouldn’t buy a full bottle. I’d spring for another decant to try it again though.
Scent: 7/10
Longevity: 2/10 (worst performing scent I’ve ever worn)

Nearly 20 years old but still smells modern.
Let me tell you, im from germany and this scent is almost unknown here. The brand is not popular here. The only scent from CH we know is CH Men Prive because of Jeremy Fragrance on Youtube.
However, I ordered a small bottle out of curiosity.
To my nose, it smells like a typical late 90s early 2000s fragrance for guys.
A bit of freshness from ADG, bit sweetness from curve, the green-grassy vibe from Chanel PE and a bit of musk from Fierce.
Dont get me wrong, it doesnt really smell similar to them but more like a mix. Unique smell for sure.
I agree on the grass vibe, but not like mature smelling, more young smelling. Like you would pour sugar on grass.
Clean and fresh and inoffensive, this is a mass pleasing scent who will not offend people.
Great scent and I can understand it was a topseller back in the days.

“Citrus-y. Mowed. Grass.”
Bottle & Background: I purchased a 3.4 oz bottle blindly about 2 years ago for a good deal. My bottle is approximately half full. I originally purchased it because I liked the idea of a green grass fragrance. I love landscaping and taking care of my lawn in the Spring/Summer so I was instantly intrigued. The design of this bottle is simple if not a little plain. But the bottle itself is really great! I really like the feel of this bottle in my hands. The lid fully removes and has a magnetic catch when it’s reattached. The sprayer is really good, too. You get strong sprays when you apply it!
Smelling it: When I spray this I’m immediately hit with a spicy synthetic chemical blast. But the scent settles quickly into a citrus-y fresh green grass scent. It doesn’t exactly smell like mowed grass- more of an impression of grass if that makes sense. It reminds me a little of Chrome Legend if you removed that signature metallic note.
Wearing it: I like to spray this on my wrists, sides, one spray on chest and one on the back of my neck. Six sprays total. The scent projects initially projects very strongly. After about 4 hours performance sharply declines on my skin. By hour 6 it’s only at skin level. And the fragrance ends before hour 8.
Verdict: 6.8/10
I like to wear this fragrance during the day, when the weather is warm and I know I’m gonna be outside. I think the green note works especially well when I’m gonna be out and around grass. Cookouts, tailgates, family picnics, outdoor graduations/weddings, etc. I’ve never gotten many compliments when I’m wearing it but I enjoy the scent more in those environments. It’s not a very versatile fragrance and it doesn’t perform as well as I’d like it to. For that reason I can’t reach for it as much as I’d like. But it is a pleasant scent that won’t offend anyone.

I don’t get the “fresh cut grass” vibe that some people get from this fragrance. When I think of grassy scents I think of a very green, sharp and slightly vegetal kind of vibe. 212 is none of that. It’s more of a clean, fresh, slightly soapy kind of green. It’s very smooth, light and non-offensive with a touch of sweetness, and I think lavendar and something spicy in the top notes. The dry down smells so clean and summery, and I think that’s where some people get the “freshly cut grass” vibe. It’s in the same vein as Mugler Cologne which is my spring/summer signature scent after my workout at the gym. However, Mugler kills 212 in performance. At least with my nose.
If 212 got me better performance it would be equally loved as Mugler, and perhaps even more loved because the scent is truly amazing for the 30-60 minutes it lasts. Much more sexy than Mugler.
BTW I’m not asking much for performance. I don’t need 8+ hours. I’d be happy with 2-3 hours because I could always reapply 2-3 times later in the day. For me, 212 turns into a skin scent within the hour. That’s just unacceptable. Maybe I got a fake or bad batch.
Anybody else get pitiful performance with 212 Men? I have the one with NYC on the bottle. Maybe the VIP release is better?
fwtxdunup – :
If ever a fragrance has come to mind, and unfortunately there are quite a few now, that truly epitomizes my complete and utter discust at fragrance reformulation it has to be 212 Men – pre 212 nyc men formulation of current.
Lets take another step back in time to when I orginaly came accross and bought this fragrance, it was 2007 when I first caught a whiff of the sheer grassy smelling freshess and just utter quality green scent that this fragrance used to be.
I remember walking past my managers office in the small hallway outside catching strong whiffs of this, the fragrance he was wearing, literally booming off his skin and filling all surrounding space.
I struggle to put into words just how awsome this fragrance used to be, how powerful it was and the love it got. Hours and hours of longevity and projection through the roof. Everything I miss and now struggle to find from fragrances today.
Call me selfish but I want reaction, If I pay good money for my fragrance I want others to smell it. I want it to be powerful enough to hit them in the face and if I want to tone the projection down a little, then just use half a spray like we used to be able to do back in the day before the mass reformulations took place from 2010 onwards.
But guess what???
Thats all gone and now we are left with another fragrance totally watered down, lacking any kind of a punch and its magic and what I consider quality totally vanished, abit like this fragrances current formulation after 2 hours on my skin, in with mass pleasing barely detectable, non offensive neutered skin scent rubbish that this is now.
icersape65 – :
CH 212 is a classic….and beautiful-sensual type of cologne. That’s appropriate for most any situation, and excellent for the office, dates, and formal/casual occasions. CH 212 performs like a stunner in hot/humid temperatures…so this could easily be in one’s summer/spring rotation.
CH 212 reminds of of Creed Silver Mountain Water, without the “ink” notes, and with a slight infusion of spices. So I get how people think it’s a bit too feminine…but boy, CH 212 has been formulated to near perfection for its genre of cologne. CH 212 still smells relevant despite how long ago it was released!
Overall: 8.75/10

This is a nostalgic scent for me as I remember smelling this on people in the early to mid-2000’s. I think I even stole a few sprays from my friends Dad because this was his signature scent for about 5 years lol I finally purchased this as an adult hoping to have that same feeling that was present when I initially noticed it…Yeah, that didn’t happen, I absolutely overdid it on the trigger and regretted every minute afterward SMH This is horrible IMO if you overspray. The scent is light and pretty green-floral and the notes really do shine brightly. There is a touch sweetness in a nectar from a flower type, not really a gourmand sweetness. I now stick to 3 sprays (1 on forearm and pat with the other, and 2 on each side of the neck) and I’m golden with an above average projection, no headache as the scent is still pretty light but noticeable. Overall good Summer daytime scent that is a compliment worthy if used right.

This is a good one for warm weather daytime. It’s all about green notes, ginger, lavender, grapefruit. Moderate performance overall.
Gusarepgjn – :
Another one of those popular fragrances where I just don’t see it. I find this revolting. Heavy on the lavender and just overall too soapy and highly similar to a toilet spray!. How on earth this smells like grass or even resembles it slightly is a mystery to me.
-=BORODA=- – :
My first ever fragrance. My mom bought it for me as a gift when i was 15. I’ve got so many compliments in school or from people older than me back then.
Anyways it starts fresh and green but in some mysterious way, Like you are in a rainy dark green forest and it’s almost twilight. Then it dries down to a musky-woody scent.
Great Stuff from Carolina herrera. But not A WOW for me.

smell like a morning dew under the sun rising up. so green and fresh with a bit of aquatic scent. if you’re looking for a fresh fragrance, this one is highly recommended. i love it! 10/10

Great stuff! I bought a tester for cheap and it’s become my new dumb reach fragrance. I somehow missed this in its heyday, but better late than never. Very smooth, green and clean musk that’s still pretty relevant. Here’s the trick to increasing longevity on this one: spray 3 times, wait 10-15 minutes, spray 2 more times in same area, walk out the door. Enjoy!

Blind buy that I regret. Smells like a bar of soap from a semi-luxury hotel in Vegas.
Really soft, fluffy and feminine, so soft it made me tired. Not a daytime wear for me. I already like my soap and clean clothes, I don’t need something trying to be a citrus Bounce dryer sheet all over my body.
Diavoliada – :
Updated review.
I have come to realize that this scent is even better than I thought.
I have come to another conclusion that is not so good. That realization is that this scent is feminine, I thought it was unisex , but it does not have enough of a aquatic, salty or green focus or smell to be a manly aquatic. It smells innocent and rather pretty on my skin.
I think this is a perfect 18 year old women semi formal fragrance and to me is a designer version of byredo gypsy water.
OLD REVEIW
A great grassy aquatic and it might be a hidden gem.
I get 6 hours longevity and moderate projection.
A more modern, brighter Davidoff Cool Water.
Recommended and a step up from basic aquatics.
If you like this try Bvlgari Aqv

One of the best juices i have ever tried….BEST combination of Fresh spice,Citrus and GREEN…..

stanislawdenischuk – :
This is too soft and floral and just in the wrong kind of ways. I have nothing against soft and/or floral fragrances but this one doesn’t work for me. My nose wrinkles in disappointment. The labdanum is what makes it so soft,I think, and the gardenia is way too feminine for a fragrance that say’s “Men” on it… Both of those with the added violet is just too much floral. I can’t smell the ginger, woods, sage or lavender and the musk just makes it even more soft. It doesn’t smell very green for a billed “green” fragrance.
afgan2502 – :
This is “fresh cut grass”. Obscure enough to keep people guessing.
eremin.maks – :
So its 2018 and its the first time i smelled a 212 nyc carolina herrera. Well great and strong opening with the grapefruit and bergamot. The green notes come soon after with a nice mixture of ginger. Sillage is very good for a fresh scent.as a scent overall i see it as fresh, very clean and definately very safe and easy.i see myself in a summer morning in a place like barcelona near the beaches having a cocktail and strolling around while wearing this scent. I ll give it 8 / 10

People who like it, its a masterpiece for them.
People who dislike it, its just a crap.
To me, it will be always always always and always in my top 5.
It has everything what a fragrance for man should have

-Great performance
-Versatile
-Mass pleasing
-not too expensive
-Unique
Again, not everyone’s cup of tea.
dima_0155 – :
Time for a bit nostalgia. This was the hit for a decade, at least where I spent my youth. And after over a decade, it’s still a unique masterpiece in my opinion. Nothing I have smelled was similar to CH 212 Men, and I’m happy about it. I have used maybe 6-7 bottles so far, with full confidence, this is the scent I pick when I am not sure – when I am not sure of what I feel, or when I am just lazy to think what to wear.
It’s mostly getting me compliments too but I am not that type to wear for compliments. It just makes me feel good.
What is amazing with CH Men 212 is that you can’t easily tell the notes. Yes there are green, citrusy, woodsy notes but what is the main note that gives character to this ? I can never understand! It’s just clean, fresh and at the same time not your regular aquatic sporty juice that vanishes in few hours. This thing lasts all day and it gets better and better.
10/10 classic from Carolina Herrera.
wfp802JeomiWogkig – :
Smells like a Nivea creme to me lol, maybe a bit spicy too,its not bad but not something id spend my money on, and after 6 to 7 hours its completely gone from my skin
PoSiTiVe – :
What a dissapointing. I like and love most of the scent from CH, but this was also terrible on my skin and totally smells like a 10 cent bar soap. Opens with a strong, sharp combination of green and spicy notes: this part of the perfume is long lasting, not bad, but bit soapy for me. 1 hour later what I get is a femine, flowery-musky scent with a ton of a soapy effect. Boring, not worth the money.

I wore it in my early 20s and still keep a bottle, it was my club scent back then lol. It’s very energetic, a young confident mans scent. I don’t really go clubbing anymore but its still usually the best thing at any event I ware it to, I ware it now just to switch it up from the norm every now and again, I get tons of compliments on it, years later no one seems to know what it is and I like that.
EmpottarpTrog – :
i own this and really hate it.this smells so synthetic aluminum, fresh cut lemongrass, not in a good way but 45mins when it settles into your skin it’s a whole different scent,it smells great after you let it chill on your skin for a bit but as far as the first sprays it sucks don’t let them hype you on this bs like they did me to me not worth the money for just the dry down.
Onlyspam – :
I recently bought a sample from a large retailer in Europe, it’s the edition with NYC on the box, probably recently made(2016 or 2017)
The scent is ok, but nothing extraordinary. I was looking for something like Lacoste Essential(somthing fresh and “green”), but with better performance and based on notes and reviews I thought 212 Men would be a good contender – well, it’s not very similar, I like Essential better, but there’s something I found very surprising about 212 Men(current reformulation at least) at least compared to what many reviews say:
Performance is AWFUL! Freshly applied on (my) skin, projection is about 30-40 cm. It can be sniffed from that distance for about 30 min – 1 hour. In approx. 2 hours it’s a skin scent that’s almost entirely gone! I think it’s even worse than Lacoste Essential, which is known to have poor performance.
jamal-07 – :
A perfume that speaks itself. An Awesome creation by Alberto Morillas in collaboration with Rosendo Mateu and Ann Gottlieb. This was my signature scent for so many years and I still have 3 bottles, so much love & respect for this beauty.
The initial blast of spices, freshness, greenness & muskiness total paralyzed me when I wore for the very first time & since then I love it. Whenever I was/am wearing it, people noticed my presence in office. Interesting it also leave traces for hours. I am disappointed for its reformulation by watering down its spiciness and freshness.
My Rated still 10/10
Picchirebib – :
This is one of the few fragrances in my wardrobe that I dislike enormously. I sampled once and felt it was fbw. However after owning a full bottle for about 3 years I have only worn this maybe 4 times. The last time I wore it which was about a month ago I realized why it had been so long since I wore it.
This fragrance on my skin is extremely perfumey and way too floral a very feminine scent. Also it is strong and I mean very strong. I developed a headache the last time I wore it and that was only from one spray. I say all of that to say it doesn’t smell bad, but it’s too feminine for me and induces headaches. Needless to say I will not be wearing this anymore ever.

Ein einzigartiger Duft, für Männer angenehmer zu riechen als für Frauen.
Frische pur, kann alle Kommentare hier in den Müll hauen.die bergamotte Lavendel und Veilchen duftet in dem Verhältnis so wie es der Mann liebt,die frische passt zu Metrosexuellen Männern,hat mit 1Million nichts zu tun.es ist eher ein besseres aqua di gio oder Sauvage von Dior. Es erinnert an Sommer ja auch aquatisch weniger süße weniger Geranien als Dior eher Bergnoten

Go to fragrance for me during summer. The best summer non aquatic non citrus dominated fragrance. Wow..
Works pretty well for hot Indian summer weather. It is one of the most complimented frag for me. It smells aromatic green. Lasts pretty well on skin. For me the fragrance somewhat linear. Like the bottle design. Worth blind buy.
Silage:4-6 feet for 3-4 hours.
Longevity: lasts 6-8 hours on skin. And more on cloths.
Rating: 9 (works pretty well)

This is a men’s cologne, but I wear it all the time and it smells incredible with my body chemistry. I really don’t find it masculine at all, when I first smelled it I was surprised that it was a women’s perfume. It’s clean and fresh, but slightly incense-like and powdery. Love it!

A nice and sexy smell that lasts for a long time. I bought a bottle but then I discovered that I don’t really like the dry down especially on clothes. It makes me feel nauseated. I ended up returning the bottle.
So my advice is that you probably need to stay away from spraying on your cloths.
goza32 – :
The scent, which I have now purchased for the first time, is surprising and rather pleasantly so. It does not so much remind me of a mowed lawn in saturated green, as sometimes referred to, rather a sweet tea which was brewed using that very grass and a few delicate white flowers. A comfortable and lovingly embracing scent, which seems to be neither particularly complex, nor plainly simple. Even though there appear to be aspects about it which hint towards perhaps a shower gel.

I have restocked on my bottle of 212 and I just think this juice is underrated in the fragrance community. It is just amazing. It lasts forever on my skin and oh my! the goodness of cut grass and the freshness is just amazing. It’s unfortunate others have low to moderate longevity out of this one.
It’s one of the few fragrances I have repurchased after running out. It is slowly becoming a staple in my wardrobe. I think 212 men needs more love than it’s getting. It is truly legendary and I will peg it with other modern legends like le male, 1 million and Terre d’hermes. It is truly unique.

Very nice scent, fresh cut grass, then floral, then woody and musk. Guess it’s good for people working in offices, cause I can’t imagine anybody hating this
jelcin – :
I previously reviewed this and said how it is a nice scent but don’t last long. Now I’ve tried using it and it don’t last on me and I TYPICALLY hold scents. I can’t say it is a nice scent when it don’t last on my skin. I tried wearing it today and it didn’t last all that long. This afternoon, I resprayed twice and within three hours, it was gone It has been dropped from a like to a dislike and dumped fragrance. Longevity lasts between poor and moderate but the scent is really nothing to me other than musk. I like musk but this is overkill. I’ll rate it a 5.0, one of the lowest ratings I’ve ever given.
I’m annoyed that the only 212 branded fragrance I like is the 212 VIP, their take on a 1 Million style club scent.
Bobs – :
Really good fragrance that gets you lots of compliments. One day a lady colleague of mine asked me what I was wearing because it smelleed so good that she would want to follow me around all day.
On my skin it projects very well for around 4-5 hours and then it slowly dries down and basically becomes a skin scent around the 8-10 hour mark.
Averre – :
This started off strong and vibrant and I immediately thought it might be a new favorite. Less then an hour in, and it’s just a skin scent. I’ll keep wearing it a few more times but so far very disappointed. Must be my skin since so many others are getting excellent performance.

jonnnnew – :
I blind bought this stuff because I wanted something new in my summer rotation and can honestly say that I’m not disappointed.
The instant I smelled this, it took me back to my highschool days, just as the semester was finishing for summer. Green grass, citrus, with something like a spicy floral finish. It’s really not THAT exciting if truth be told, but I would agree that the drydown is especially pleasant. Recommended as a casual / signature fragrance for the warmer months. Safe blind buy for sporty-floral lovers.
Imagine: Lying down in a field of flowers surrounded by wild, green grass. It’s early afternoon but the only sound is the gentle breeze moving across the clearing. Your mind goes blank as the wonderful aromas permeate your senses. Ahhhh, this is what serenity feels like. It’s just too bad you have to get up and go to the gym.
Think: Green, Uplifting, Playful, Rosy, Modern
Overall: 8/10 – A general crowd pleaser
MarshallWS – :
Give me a woody floral musk any day, and I will be happy 🙂
I just bought this -again- for my boy friend, and he likes it just as much as me.
It is so much better than the 212 for women.
It doesn’t matter, if it is a crowd pleaser, some niche fragrances are nasty and cost a fortune. So to the ones of you, who enjoy this juice, take a good deep sniff and the loads of compliments and female attention you will get 🙂
anufrii – :
This one was the very first frag I’ve bought, 10 years ago. Since then, I’ve tried many scents, from generic crowd pleasants to niche allegedly masterpieces. Now I’m back to 212. And you know what? This juice is very good indeed. Citrusy, smooth, super safe scent. It’s been great returning to the origins and realize how nice this scent is.
Brudj – :

I haven’t worn this one is years and I am glad that if this ever got reformulated it has remained on its original scent. I think is a unique fragrance that I would recognize anywhere and is a great Summer choice. I don’t know how good is the 212 Summer, but based on the reviews for that one I think I will keep only this one as my fave 212 for the summer.

Ginger and grapefruit from the start. This dries down to a sweet grassy note with a Green Irish Tweed type of vibe but without the sharp grassy notes of GIT. There is certainly a lot of lavender in this scent and I can detect a tiny bit of musk.
Mediocre projection and longevity. Overall it’s a masterful crowd-pleaser that is otherwise generic and boring.

8.5/10

Its a shame I want to like this fragrance and when I tested it in store it seemed lovely, I get the “cut grass note” everyone is talking about, the citruses and spice from pepper and ginger.
It’s just when the gardenia mixses with te white flower and violet (may I add I like violet in mens fragrances as a floral more on the leaf side then the actual flower) but to my nose this just reminds me of a garden with lots and lots of flowers aka a bit too on the feminine side.
Let me reiterate I don’t mind a bit of floral in my fragrances but to my nose this is just taking it to another level (for my nose). Even my sister said it smells nice with feminine qualities lol, on the other hand my girlfriend loves this scent on me, but truth be told I really just can’t bring my self to reach into my small collection for it.

I have got a lot of compliments from this fragrance & I used to love it, longevity & projection both excellent.
However, lately (SOMETIMES) I am getting a weird vibe which reminds me of “Gutkha” (a kind of chewing tobacco with betel nut) which is widely available in Indian Sub-continent.
The problem here is it actually smells like the Gutkha is chewed & spat out on a Mild steel plate which is rusting.
Hence the smell i get is the rusting MS plate with some fresh green accords.
Really weird!!!

Good, but only lasts 30 min – 1 hour. Not worth the price, only recommend it if you want to walk around all day with it. Good sent tho

very popular here. preformance ok. the scent is on the “deordorant style” side. overall as a value for money it is not too bad since it is not bad and the price is really low.

I have a long relationship with this gem. I have stories to tell… Still remember when one of the super boss asked me what I was wearing who sat almost 6 feet away from me. Once I traveled to a nearby hill station and my cousin forgot to pick my bag, would you believe that it shouted hell loud I am here, almost after 20 hours. Well that was about 10 years ago, I never ran out but observed a slight decline in performance over a period of time. My latest possession is about 7 months. I still get spices mixed with Bergamot and thin Grapefruit. This part is truly a bliss and then Ginger comes for a small introduction followed by Sage, Vetiver and amazing mixture of Labdanum, Musk and Sandalwood. I remember getting a projection almost for 7 hours but now its reduced to around 4. Sillage still remains amazing with a great longevity, may be 12 hours. I
