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. The formulation in 1999 circa was just something else - beautiful, elegant, and compliment grabbing.

If freshies work well on you, you will get many compliments on this one, its very clean and aromatic.

Carolina Herrera 212 Men Eau de Toilette is the second masculine fragrance to be released by the designer. With a blend of top notes including grapefruit, ginger, and petitgrain, 212 NYC Men is a fresh and vibrant scent that captures the energy of the city.

As the fragrance commences to dry-down, the notes lose most of their initial sharpness, the fragrance loses its initial moderate projection receding just to a personal space. Its a strong "like" -- not a "love" -- because my nose has since then kind of, well, slightly changed.A comfortable and lovingly embracing scent, which seems to be neither particularly complex, nor plainly simple.
