Carolina Herrera 212 Men Eau De Toilette 100ml Spray

Carolina Herrera 212 Men Eau de Toilette 100ml is a clean, modern men's classic launched in 1999, named after the famous Manhattan area code. Composed by Alberto Morillas, Rosendo Mateu and Ann Gottlieb, it captures the energy of New York at the turn of the millennium — fresh and metallic on the skin, with green notes, grapefruit and spices opening into a contemporary heart of ginger, violet and gardenia, and a clean musk-and-sandalwood drydown. Housed in the recognisable steel-finish aluminium bottle.

About Carolina Herrera

Founded in New York in 1981 by Venezuelan-American couturier Carolina Herrera, the house is known for tailored, polished elegance. Its perfumery line, now part of Puig, has produced some of the most successful designer fragrances of the past three decades, with the 212 line — masculine and feminine — among its biggest exports.

Who it's for

212 Men suits men who like crisp, urban fragrances over sweet or heavy compositions. It is a versatile year-round wear — bright enough for warm days, polished enough for the office, clean enough to layer under a suit. If you favour scents like Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme or Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male in their cleaner facets, 212 Men sits comfortably in the same wardrobe.

How to use

1. Hold the steel-finish bottle around 15 cm from the skin.
2. Spray onto pulse points — wrists, neck, chest.
3. For everyday wear, two sprays balance freshness and presence.
4. Reapply lightly later in the day; eau de toilette concentration sits closer to the skin than EDP.
