Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 212 Sexy Men EDT
Divisive and dialled-back, Carolina Herrera's 212 Sexy Men promises allure but often delivers a softer, powdery vanilla with an opening that some find challenging. Reformulations seem to have dulled its spark, but for others, it's still a surprisingly smooth, intimate classic.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Edition EDT
Edition's cheerful blend of citrus and subtle woods offers an approachable and budget-friendly scent for everyday wear.
