I have loved 212 since 1999! It's fresh and light and I'm always asked "what is that fragrance". I also love it in this size.

Love this scent
-06.09.12
I absolutely love this scent. I smelled this perfume at an airport in Spain, and loved it so much I went back to the store to spray myself with it, without the clerk looking. =P
I then ordered online. I just love how soft and feminine it is. Although, I must agree with some of the other reviewers, it doesn't last as much as I would like to. Coming from Carolina Herrera I would have expected higher quality and thus longer lasting. Still, I would buy it again.

The best
-03.31.12
I've been wearing this perfume for a very long time and I'm still getting compliments on it, even from the same people constantly. It smells amazing! It's not too strong, but the fragrance doesn't fade too fast. It's perfect for daytime, nighttime, summertime, wintertime. Best perfume I've ever bought.

The sales associate showed me the perfume in a different bottle but I bought this by accident. Not too bad of an accident. It's nice and people around me say that I smell really good!

Quick Take: modern, fresh
I was actually going to buy 212 Sexy for my mother's birthday, but it was sold out in the store I shopped at, so I decided to get this one instead. She liked it and uses it sometimes, but it's me who is absolutely in love with this scent. Unlike other Carolina Herrera perfumes this one is so versatile - it can be worn in summer or winter, day or night, by young girls and more mature women and it would suit them all. And even though it is EDT it's a very long-lasting one, I can smell it on my hair even at the end of the day.
P.S.: I got my mom a proper present afterwards :)

classic, my go-to perfume
-10.26.11
Quick Take: clean, urban, modern
I spent an afternoon at Sephora when I was in highschool sniffing almost every perfume they had to find myself the perfect everyday scent. This one had the perfect tones, not too strong like chanel which I love too, but not for everyday. Perfect perfume, I love it!

Beautiful fragrance, unavailable in Canada!
-08.06.11
Quick Take: awsome, amazing, elegant
I love this fragrance. I discovered long time ago. It was love at first sight, scent in this case.
This is definitely my signature fragrance. Unfortunately it disappeared from Canada (Sephora, The Bay). I could not find the reason. The whole Carolina Herrera was gone! I have bought the last bottles of 212. At least it is available online.

Quick Take: caolina herrera 212
I was a cosmetician for 10 years in a large store. I ordered the fragrances & so I could try all of the perfumes. When I first got 212 in stock & tried it, I fell in love with this fragrance! I got so many compliments from customers needless to say I sold a lot of 212. I still love it. I may try a new fragrance but I always come back to this wonderful scent.

Classy, Timeless
-06.05.11
Quick Take: feminine
I absolutely adore this fragrance. Although it's eau the toilette and not eau de parfum, it is very long lasting. Also very classy, timeless, and the epitome of femininity. I can't help but feel happy when I wear it. I especially love the fact that it is not one of those fragrances that EVERYONE has. Who wants to smell like everyone else?

Timeless fragrance for all occasions
-06.02.11
Quick Take: elegant, fresh, floral, multi-purpose
As I said in the title, 212 CH is timeless. I've never seen another fragrance that works as flawlessly for so many different occasions. It's perfect for everything, from weddings, work settings, casual days, and nights out. It's a very fresh floral musk that really lasts, at least on my skin chemistry. Not overbearing, even in the summer. I've worn both 212 fragrances since middle school, and I love them as much as ever; especially the original.
