Smells just like the classic 212 EDT but with a darker twist that makes it feel richer. I prefer the original; while it’s not my absolute favourite, I quite like it. The scents are fresh and slightly sweet, and this version is a bit darker without deviating too much from its DNA. If you already own the classic, it might seem redundant, but it’s worth trying.

The original 212 is the perfume that has given me the most compliments as my signature scent. That metallic and bitter note suits my personality perfectly. I bought this version because people said it was ‘the improved 212’, haha… nothing like it! Perhaps the opening recalls the original, but as it dries down, it’s very different: super fruity and woody, less potent, less serious, more youthful and party-oriented (which is its intention). It is an update, but for me, it doesn’t improve anything. Not worth the investment, and its performance leaves much to be desired. Rating: 5.7, Projection: 6.4, Longevity: 4.3. Final score: 5/10.

This option is much more suited to autumn and winter, as it features tobacco and pepper notes.

The opening is identical to the original 212, but Sichuan pepper is noticeable from the start. It then evolves into gardenia and elemi; it’s a rich and well-crafted scent. After half an hour, very light woods emerge. Although it maintains the vibe of its predecessor, those notes give it a masculine air that surprised me. It’s excellent for daily wear. If you like the original, you’ll enjoy this with its woody changes, rich tobacco, and Sichuan pepper (which smells more citrusy than regular pepper), alongside the elemi that adds freshness and masculinity. Flawless; I bought it blind and loved it. Good performance. I won’t provide a rating or longevity score out of respect, as it depends on every skin. I wouldn’t wear it in intense heat; I prefer it in temperate or cold weather.
