The r/fragrance community views XS (2018) very positively as a solid designer fragrance offering excellent value. While it doesn't quite match the original 1990s vintage, the reformulation is close enough that most community members don't feel compelled to hunt down older bottles, praising its fresh, green citric opening and woody dry down with good performance for the price point.

212 Men is a solid, underrated fresh designer fragrance that delivers good performance and versatility at a reasonable price point. While the community appreciates its clean, pleasant profile and longevity, many find it generic and dated compared to modern alternatives, making it best suited as a dependable everyday fragrance rather than a signature scent.
