Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 212 Sexy Men EDP
This is Divain's take on Carolina Herrera's 212 Sexy Men, the spicy-amber follow-up to the original 212 line. The pepper-cardamom heart and vanilla-amber-musk base capture the original's warm, slightly gourmand seduction reasonably faithfully, though the projection is noticeably softer and the dry-down loses some of the guaiac wood smokiness that gives the real thing its edge.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Rococo EDP
Rococo is a refreshing mix of citrus and spices, perfect for everyday wear with a hint of sophistication.
