Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
To start, all websites claim this is a clone of Carolina Herrera’s 212 Sexy, but in my opinion, it only shares a slight resemblance in its dry-down; the rest is entirely different and nowhere near a clone. The opening is intense, with a very pronounced passionfruit scent over a sharp citrus-menthol base. The dry-down is super fresh and sweet. The citrus and mint fade quickly, giving way to pepper, which opens up to cinnamon and cloves; together with the fruit from the start, they create a very spiced and slightly acidic fruity aroma. I believe ginger is what provides that acidity without standing out, but it’s perfect for balancing the sweetness of the fruit and spices. Once this phase passes, the fruits disappear, leaving woody and amber notes with spices. Very refined and elegant. Although leather is listed as a note, I didn’t detect it. The longevity and sillage are excellent, lasting over eight hours on my skin, although I stopped smelling it after six hours, those around me still could. The sillage is good for the first two hours, then it becomes skin scent, which is where I think it performs best at close range. Its optimal use is for evening and in cold or mild seasons, though it works on fresh afternoons too. Another point for this Arab house, which is doing its job well. Undisputed value for money.
Although they say it’s a clone of CH’s 212 Sexy, in my opinion it only resembles it a little towards the end. The opening is intense, with lots of passion fruit, sharp citrus and mint. The dry down is fresh and sweet; the mint fades quickly to reveal pepper, making way for cinnamon and clove. It’s fruity, spiced and slightly acidic, probably due to the ginger which tempers the sweetness. Then comes the woody and amber notes with spices, very refined and elegant. I didn’t detect any leather. It lasts over eight hours on my skin, although I stop smelling it after six hours, others can still detect it. The trail is good for the first two hours, then it stays close to the skin where it performs well. Ideal for evening in cold or mild weather. Another point for this Arabian house. Undisputed value for money.
Smells of camphor and mentol right away, with a citrus touch. It’s noticeably stronger and longer-lasting than Carolina Herrera’s 212 Sexy. A good buy and very cheap.
