Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sun Summer EDT
A versatile unisex fragrance ideal for casual and daytime wear. It's a perfect match for warm weather and laid-back occasions.

Our Verdict - CCXII Boom EDP
CCXII Boom copies Carolina Herrera's 212 Men Pop! - the same cool, fizzy mojito accord of mint and mandarin over a clean musk-and-woods base. The budget version keeps the fun, fresh pop but reads flatter and lighter, with the short staying power the original is already known for.
