212 Men NYC
Woody Floral Musk · Designer · Since 1999
Fresh, crisp, and built for all day. The fragrance that has survived 25 years of trends — without changing a thing.
Clean, Fresh & Effortlessly Urban
Opens with a burst of green notes and grapefruit — crisp, sharp, and immediately refreshing. Bergamot and petitgrain add structure, while a touch of spice keeps it from feeling like a simple citrus scent.
The heart brings in ginger, gardenia, and sage — lightly herbal, never too floral. Smooth and balanced, this is the stage that makes 212 Men wearable anywhere without demanding attention.
The base settles into sandalwood, guaiac wood, and vetiver — warm, slightly smoky, and quietly masculine. It stays close to the skin and lingers without overstaying its welcome.
Twenty-five years of trends have come and gone.212 Men NYC has outlasted all of them.
What's Inside the Bottle
How Long It Lasts & How Strong It Is
6–8 hours on skin. Reliable presence through a full workday.
Soft to moderate. Stays in your personal space. Noticeable up close — not from across the room.
Apply 2–3 sprays on wrists and neck. This is EDT — lighter concentration. More sprays are fine.
What is Eau de Toilette? EDT is a lighter concentration than Eau de Parfum — fresher, airier, and ideal for daily and office wear. It sits close to the skin without overwhelming a room.
Best Season & Occasion
The green-citrus opening thrives in warm, fresh air. Light enough to wear through humid Dhaka summers without feeling heavy.
Built to move between contexts without demanding a change. Professional enough for a meeting. Easy enough for a weekend.
