Carolina Herrera 212 Femme Eau de Toilette 60ml Spray

Carolina Herrera 212 Femme Eau de Toilette is a 60ml floral-woody-musk fragrance for women — a fresh, polished signature scent inspired by the energy of the New York City zip code 212. Composed by master perfumer Alberto Morillas, it has been a beloved modern classic since its launch in 1997.

About 212

Carolina Herrera is the New York-based fashion house founded by the Venezuelan designer of the same name. The 212 fragrance line is the brand's celebration of New York City — and the original 212 women's eau de toilette, launched in 1997 and composed by Alberto Morillas, captures the polished, slightly cosmopolitan energy of city life in fragrance form.

Fragrance notes

• Top: orange blossom, cactus flower, bergamot, mandarin orange
• Heart: lily, freesia, gardenia, jasmine, white camellia, lily of the valley, rose, peony
• Base: musk, sandalwood

How it wears

The fragrance opens fresh and slightly green — sparkling bergamot and mandarin lifted by orange blossom and the unusual cactus-flower note give an immediate impression of polished urban modernity. The heart blooms into a generous white-floral bouquet, with lily, gardenia, jasmine, freesia and rose creating a refined, slightly powdery character. As it dries down, smooth sandalwood and clean musk wrap the composition into a soft, slightly sensual finish.

Who it's for

212 is for women who love refined, modern floral-musk perfumery — wearers who enjoy clean, slightly urban signatures, fans of the wider Carolina Herrera fragrance line and those building a polished day-to-evening signature. It is also a strong gift choice thanks to its broad appeal and instantly recognisable silver flacon.

How and when to wear it

This is a true day-to-evening fragrance and works particularly well year-round. Spray onto pulse points — wrists, the inside of the elbows and the base of the throat — and avoid rubbing the wrists together so the white-floral heart can develop. The 60ml format is also a generous size for daily wear.
