Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - 212 Men EDT
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.

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.
