Carolina Herrera ~ Chic and 212 Men
Friday, July 7th, 2006Carolina Herrera’s Chic for men and women has been discontinued very recently, so if you are a fan of either version (or both) you will want to stock up now while it can still be found. This news comes from Perfume of Life board member Jeffery, who’s been a dedicated Chic wearer for years. You can read the whole story how he found out, and the considerate company response to his letter by reading his story on the relevant POL thread.
I’m not personally enamored of Chic. I’ve only tried the women’s version, and it wears so *wrong* on me. 212 Men however is delightful, very nice to wear. I actually had tried this one based soley upon the above POL member’s enthusiasm for it.
Let’s visit these fragrances in limerick!
Chic (women)
Citrus and rose make room
For freesia in full candied bloom
That’s all fine and well
But who in the hell
Put all this pee in my ‘fume?!
212 Men
Vetiver gives grassy good grace
To the ginger that’s running apace
But the clincher for me
Is the soft incensey
And leathery musk at the base
