What does 212 Men Summer 2013 smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, though the number of votes is small, so those ratings are tentative. It reads masculine and has been discontinued.

The top carries gin tonic, cardamom, mandarin orange, lemon and grapefruit, with citrus and aquatic accords leading. Jasmine and pepper sit in the heart, over patchouli, musk and woods at the base. The bright opening gradually softens into a woody, lightly sweet finish. Fragrance One Date for Men and Calvin Klein Encounter have a close profile.
