Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
Even though it’s marketed as a clone of CH’s 212 Sexy, in my opinion it only resembles it a bit toward the end. The opening is intense with sharp passion fruit, citrus, and mint. The dry down is fresh and sweet; the mint fades quickly to reveal pepper, giving way to cinnamon and clove. It’s fruity, spicy, and slightly tart, likely due to ginger cutting the sweetness. Then it settles into a refined, elegant woody-amber base with spices. I didn’t detect any leather. It lasts over 8 hours on my skin—though I stop smelling it after 6 hours, others still detect it. The projection is good for the first two hours, then it becomes a nice skin scent that performs well. Perfect for cool or mild evenings. Another point for this Arab house. Unquestionable value for money.
To start, every website claims this is a clone of Carolina Herrera’s 212 Sexy, but in my opinion, it only shares a slight resemblance in the dry-down; the rest is entirely different and nowhere near a clone. The opening is intense, with a very prominent passionfruit scent over a sharp citrus-menthol base. The dry-down is super fresh and sweet. The citrus and mint fade quickly, then pepper emerges, giving way to cinnamon and clove, which together with the initial fruit create a very spicy, 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. After this phase, the fruits disappear, leaving woody and amber notes with spices. Very refined and elegant. Although leather is a declared note, I didn’t detect it. Longevity and sillage are excellent, lasting over 8 hours on my skin; after 6 hours, I could no longer smell it on myself, but people 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. Undeniable value for money.
Hits with a strong burst of camphor and menthol, followed by a citrus note. It’s more intense and lasts longer than Carolina Herrera’s 212 Sexy. Great buy and very affordable.
