They watered it down to the point where you spray it and after two hours it's gone and the sillage, forget about it it's ZERO there's no sillage and projection . Some people say that it looks like 212 or blue de Chanel, that may be a little true, but I find it more beautiful than its all. There's a touch of pepper and cardamom, cedar and tonka bean lending some sophistication and Chic has a gentle musky base. Sensual and distinct this inspiring, masculine fragrance is the ideal accompaniment for the well dressed, urban man. encantador con las mujeres, este chic actua en el olfato femenino muy muy bien, es una mescla dulce de sandia miel canela y pimienta, me gusta mucho aunque puede empalagar por su dulsura lo recomiendo encaresidamente para quienes quieran atraer al sexo opuesto, a mi me encanta.

It begins with notes of watermelon, crisp citruses and cardamom and gets warmer with cinnamon and pepper.Watermelon is not a note that you expect to find in a men's fragrance, and I must admit that I was a little sceptical at first. Seriously, it smells like you're in a watermelon field with a freshly cut watermelon in front of you. Carolina Herrera's scents follow the same style as her fashion - refined, international and above all classic without extra flash or bobbles. It gets me compliments, if someone is close enough, because it is not loud fragrance, no one smells is doesn't like it. Somewhat comparable to Chanel Allure Homme in its development (not the smell itself, Allure Homme is more fruity): starts out fresh (watermelon!

The opening is not the best part, the best part is 20-25 minutes in when the spicy mellow musk starts projecting. Please consult your doctor before taking any new product, particularly if you are already under medical care. That said, it's actually a good fragrance, it smells fresh with some hint of fruits in the opening and it would never offend any one, it's very safe and elegant, the performance is below average in my experience, 30 minutes of projection, and 3-4 hours sitting close to the skin and then it's gone. The opening is really fresh and very citrusy, with a light essence of watermelon and a good heap of cinnamon.

It can easily be mistaken as a 4hr old Blue de Chanel or Allure homme sport without the grapefruit/citrus blast that Bleu or Allure homme sport has. The base notes come alive when you smell both amber/woodsy(cedar) notes as well as Tonka beans which sweeten the frag after it has settled to give it a real sexy appeal. key perfumery ingredients, Lilial and Lyral were banned in 2021, and formulas had to be gradually adjusted up until the cut off date.

The longevity is moderate at around 6-7 hours and sillage is also moderate giving a nice scent bubble of 4-6 feet. It starts off with fruity notes, i mostly get lemon and watermelon (watermelon is stronger than all the fruits here IMO), a bit orange. I get a watermelon and just a slight hint of pepper in the opening when it dries down a bit the cinnamon and cardamon come out to play. I also bought this perfume when it first came out a long time ago, so I don't know if it was reformulated since.I get a spicy aroma (with watermelon aspect to it), cardamom mostly, i do get pepper but i don't get the cinnamon much. Its spiciness is very subdued to the point that, in my opnion, this might as well, and maybe even more appropriately, be considered a woody aromatic scent. The citrus swirls and swirls with the watermelon and cinnamon for a good duration and then finally the pepper arrives giving the scent another salvo of spice before the scent segues into its' sweet, woody, amber, musky base.

I start citrus, melon successfully challenged that with cinnamon and pepper gives it a slight spicy flavor, to cedar, with sandalwood, wooden brought pleasant vibration, while amber and musk united to give a high dose of elegance, with of course the obligatory line of cultivated tobacco form tonka. Don't get me wrong, I love this scent as it is quite reminiscent of Acqua di Gio but with the sweetness turned up to 11! The masculine version was created as a tribute to the world of photography, a black and white world in which Carolina Herrera has been immortalized by the most prestigious photographers; and the world of writing, a place where imagination has no limits.I first bought a bottle of Chic back in 2009 that smelled different from the bottle I bought in 2013. The watermelon, im guessing, gives it that classic 212 "fresh cut green grass" note that everybody loves. This fragrance has citrusy top notes of Sicilian bergamot, lemon, Italian mandarin, and fresh melon. Watermelon does dominate this fragrance but the Pepper, Cinnamon, Sandalwood and Amber add warmth and spice which combines perfectly with the cool fruitiness of the Watermelon and Lemon and really balances this fragrance out. A blind bought Chic as I liked the scent profile and had recently added some other Carolina Herrera fragrances to my collection (212 Men / 212 Sexy Men).
