Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - CCXII Boom

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.

Our Verdict - 212 Pop!

This one is a divisive summer fling. Some rave about its fresh, invigorating citrus heart, perfect for hot days. Others find it fleeting or veer into 'sweet candy' territory. Expect compliments, but don't expect it to last all day without a top-up.
