The review
On paper, No. 2 Men is a reasonable bet if you want 212 for less.
Maison Alhambra sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is 212's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Maison Alhambra publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on bergamot, orange and gardenia, turns to jasmine, lily and freesia, and settles into musk, sandalwood and white woods. That is the brief No. 2 Men is working from.

Base

- white woods
Cool white flowers and musk, crisp minimalist nineties New York.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
