212 by Carolina Herrera is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women. 212 was launched in 1997. The nose behind this fragrance is Alberto Morillas. Top notes are Orange Blossom, Cactus Flower, Bergamot and Mandarin Orange; middle notes are Lily, Freesia, Gardenia, Jasmine, White Camelia, Lily-of-the-Valley, Rose and Peony; base notes are Musk and Sandalwood. A perfume for a young woman, the scent of New York, the scent of life. The flacon evokes the same artistic concept as the perfume itself—it’s modern, urban, charismatic, unique, just like the city of New York. The fragrance is optimistic, a symbol of the curiosity and energy of a young urban woman living in a large city. Top notes include orange blossom, bergamot and mandarin. The heart notes, also floral, are composed of camellia, gardenia and lily. The base is made of sandalwood and bright musk.
