212 Men Carolina Herrera cologne - a fragrance for men

using it since 5 years

The expensive, yet an alluring fragrance oozing masculine charisma, seductive, yet infinitely subtle, 212 Men combines quiet confidence with deliberately seductive elements. A cosmopolitan composition of green peppercorns and sandalwood laced with fresh grapefruit and mandarin, rich gardenia and a musky incense base, 212 is confident, thick and alluring, launched in 1999.

For all the women’s out there, “You should buy him something you’d want to smell on him”

I would recommend the following:
Chanel Platinum Egoiste (Most versatile, day/night, summer/winter)

Polo Red

Spice Bomb (cool weather)

And the one i currently use - Dior Homme

I also have Pure Malt which i also recommend (not daily use though)

For daily use, these are pretty expensive bro... I am not a millionaire

Some thing is wrong with your flag selection!

In my opinion, guys should NOT wear cologne. Daily shower w/ a nice moisturizing soap and exfoliating shower gel and long-lasting deodorant should do the job. Let your significant other wear perfume!

I am allergic to most of the deodorants so don't use them

 

[kseeker]

Always....

Quite affordable for daily use.

212 Men - price is at bit higher side however, I might go for it.

Now, I am literally confused on the selection part. I will compare the base notes of all suggested ones and then go for the purchase.

Jean Paul Gaultier

Well, one for day to day use is Cartier Declartion.

I notice a few mentioned it....but if it's for a man, it's a "cologne"...not "perfume."

 

[Skull and Bones]

The only Ferrari i own, got this from NYC for 30 USD.

 

[cloud_9]

Blue De Channel (A lot of people have asked me about this fragrance.Been using this as a summer/fall fragrance since its launch)
Terre D’Hermes (Winter fragrance)

Other considerations Kouros by YSL,Vera Wang for Men,The Beat for Men by Burberry.

I'm into Citrus/Spicy fragrances.

I notice a few mentioned it....but if it's for a man, it's a "cologne"...not "perfume."

AFAIK its got nothing to do with men or women.All Eau De Cologne are cheaper as they are diluted,most of the stuff posted here is Eau De Toilette while Eau De Parfums are freaking expensive.

What are the differences between Eau De Toulitte and Eau De Parfums ?

By % of aromatic componds
Parfum (more hence strong and expensive) > Toulitte >Cologne (less)

That is how we say in the US. Outside US many countries call it man's perfume.

 

[Peshwa]

Are both of you American? I speak British English. Deodorant is for armpits and bodyspray is, well for your body.

They generally mean the same thing.

No sir, pure blood indian...and grew up speaking British English as well. Nevertheless, I do suppose having lived in th US, I could be using a different term for what you're speaking of.
At least in my time spent in India, there were body sprays and deodorants available, but always thought they were two different products with different uses. Never used a body spray, roll on deodorants only..

^^^^speaking of which...who remembers drakkar noir?!!

That's one dinosaur of a product!

 

[KingMamba]

Some of the cologne I have used, currently I am using Ed hardy but it was a gift lol but I like it

 

[Audio]

Before you go out, take a good shower (means you apply soap 3x and leave it for a few minutes on so the skin absorbs the fragrance) with

if you are not a sweaty pig, you wont need perfume after this. IMHO, my 2 cents.....

It's just an ordinary liquid soap with ylang ylang extract, but it smells amazing. Ladies will notice it.

The one with milk and honey extract is also great.

I know soaps is not what you were looking for, i apologize, but with these two products i have been able to abandon everything but aftershave water/cologne.
