Which Should You Buy?
Divisive yet undeniably iconic, 212 Men is a fresh, green time capsule. Some declare it a timeless masterpiece, others a dated relic. If you're after that unmistakable pre-social media NYC swagger, this could be your juice.
CAH311 recreates the crisp grapefruit-and-lavender opening of 212 Men's minimalist city-cool style well, but the woody-incense base is thinner and doesn't hold the original's tall, urban sillage for as long.
