I did hear it got reformulated around 3 years ago, so maybe that is why people are experiencing poor performance. Carolina Herrera 212 Sexy EDT Men is a very good sweet vanilla, amber, sandalwood, leathery guaiac wood, and spicy fragrance. scentster my bottle is from 3/2013 batch code C3017 it didn't come in the bottle with the red ribbon as it was pictured on this particular site where I purchased it from. I used to like this a lot but now kind of just use it as an air freshener around the house and bathroom. A few hours later the projection was about arms length, but there was still a respectable scent trail.

When I bought it I did it knowing the performance issues, but decided to do it anyway because I heard rumors saying it's probably being discontinued. One of the most versatile and casual user friendly dark boozy frags, its very appealing yet dense and complex from opening to dry down. Still, it's not that expensive that I mind going heavy on the sprays or re-spraying throughout the day. The tonka is the balancing note, in this fragrance, the tonka is a sweet note, with touches of vanilla, cherry, almond, cinnamon, caramel, spices, and a nutty hint. NOTE: As a seller, you are solely responsible for the legitimacy of the product, and its images and descriptions.It’s very green and grassy, sharp, fizzy, and smells like the note breakdown for Wow fresh (very ozonic violet leaf).

For me, even though it fades to more of a skin scent within about 6 hours or so, it's perfect for a nice office scent or a casual evening out, assuming that it's not your goal to overwhelm anyone with enough sugar to prompt diabetes. If seeking a combination of a wearable boozy, leather and vanilla fragrance then try Le Male Le Essence instead. Olfactory pyramid starts with notes like violet flower and grass, eccentric and original shades in a masculine perfume, which open the way to an adventurous heart and dreamer, led by saffron and nutmeg, to finish with a sweetish base, full of style and sophistication with vetiver roots, Sambac jasmine, sandalwood, vanilla, cashmere and suede.

It starts with light citrus and an herbal touch, quickly installs a sweet, serious leather with floral facets of violet and a super saffron, also musky and with a body of wood, all very well balanced, good, very interesting, elegant, But in half an hour comes down, leaving a generic drying with an incomprehensible simplistic musk.It's like this and Jazz Club are attempting to play the same "sexy bad boy" tune, but JC chose both a higher key and tempo. CH Men Prive is balanced very well and it’s a lot of fun to wear but I think you have to be the right type of person to truly pull it off since it’s a darker fragrance. Yes this comes off a bit synthetic, but after my bottle sat for so many years, it is dark, almost purple, and is just as impressive as ever having all those years to macerate . One of the prime uses of Cashmeran that is noticeable in an instant, together with oakmoss, sandalwood and suede leather I kind of get the same leathery vibe of Burberry London for men. Current formula smells the same as the red ribbon, maybe better: sweeter, less harsh, better balanced.

If you pick the reformulation - brown bottle, no ribbon - you'r in trouble because this amazing fragrance will last 33 1/2 seconds on your skin and 42 seconds on your clothes (produced after 2015).

It does smell very similar to My Land, but with less heavy leather and with an unique sugar cane note. Generic designer dressed up in frills and pretentious haute cuisine nomenclature in the hope that your olfactory perception dear consumer will be influenced by association. Once again, in my novice books, Carolina Herrera has something in her range that consistently seems to hit the correct olfactory cords aligned with my body chemistry.

Considering all the hype here, it's probably just my skin chemistry that completely rejects this fragrance. This started radiating around an arms length for first hour, then died out to a skin scent for another 8 hours. It's amazing, I can take almost any juice from year's ago, today's version don't even stack up to the orginal version. On my skin its more unique than other fragrances, and adds another dimension to my fall and winter line up.Only a series of synthetic wood notes like Twin for Men Azzaro with a sweet synthetic tonka and a leather that is more synthetic than all of them can be felt here.
