Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Extreme EDP
This one's a modern classic, divisive only by its weaker current formulation. The vintage was a beast and still represents understated elegance for those who know; newer batches still deliver the sophisticated tea-and-citrus freshness, just with less brawn.
Favourite
Our Verdict - 237 Carolina Herrera 212 Men EDP
A faithful take on 212 Men's grapefruit-sage-musk skeleton, though extra gardenia, incense and labdanum push it warmer and heavier than the crisp NYC original.
