212 Carolina Herrera 1997

Today I tried 212 - and was instantly enchanted.

The fragrance arrived, scented, and triumphed - without beating around the bush.
I was surprised by its bright cool floral notes, which still hint at warmth.
212 embodies strength and energy, like the pale winter sun that appears visually cold but still warms the skin.

The citrusy opening is fresh and invigorating, mixed with cactus green.
The bright flowers gain substance from musk, and silky creaminess from sandalwood.

Despite its light expression, it is not a light summer scent, as 212 is, although transparent, very pronounced and long-lasting.
Hard to believe it’s already 20 years old, as it feels remarkably modern and will always remain so.

An attractively timeless fragrance with a completely positive message that captivated me immediately.
It will accompany me now in winter as well as in summer - for in this respect, it is not bound to any specific time.
