Description
A youthful, sophisticated blend of citrus fresh mandarin, bergamot and green leaf with the spice notes of cardamom, pepper and flower petals. Vanilla, sandalwood, musk, amber and woods add sensual depth to this fragrance. Open-minded, confident and street wise, the 212 Man is unafraid to be noticed. This scent is a subverting, floral blend that tells of a dynamic, modern masculinity. Woody, transparent and sexy, it is a seduction in the city – the perfect scent of contemporary sensuality.

Summary
Created at the end of the '90s this has never been one of my favourites. I find it too strong and too intense at first and as it's a very long lasting fragrance I find that it tends to over power me.

Summary
My husband recently finished a bottle of this EDT and whilst it was not his favourite it certainly is a pleasant masculine fragrance. On my husband’s skin there are top green notes which are quite sharp giving way to sweet and herbal middle notes where you can detect sage, violet and ginger. On dry down there are spicy notes of sandalwood, musk, vetiver and woods. There is a very fresh, modern and somewhat sweet overall feel to this fragrance which I personally think is more suited to younger males but none the less it has great longevity and a vibrancy that really is all man!
