212 Glam Men, from Carolina Herrera was released in 2012. The perfumer behind this creation is unknown. It has the top notes of Cacao Pod and Dark Chocolate, middle notes of Tobacco and Tonka Bean, and base notes of Musk and Woody Notes.
I'm making a point of trying 212 flankers because I'm sure some will be okay and I still like the original despite it getting little to know rotation these days. This fragrance goes through a odd transition starting out at a generic, salty aquatic vibe which reminded me quite a lot of Aqva Toniq but not quite as seaweedy. I just plain don't like this Calone business despite enjoying L'eau D'Issey and AdG. However as this settles after a few minutes it becomes less about that and more of a powdered musky vibe which isn't all that bad. I can kinda see after a couple of hours how this chocolate note appears, for me it's still just powdery musk but slightly resembling a hint of cocoa powder maybe for a moment. I thought this was the case without ever knowing the notes.) The drydown is much the same and maybe one for the masses but fragrance heads will see this for what it is, a cheap smelling long lasting scent with no stand out qualities for me.
