Who Wears It
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2010, 212 Men Ice by Carolina Herrera is a Woody Spicy fragrance that captures the essence of contemporary elegance. The composition opens with a sharp burst of pepper and licorice, creating an immediate sense of freshness and vibrancy. As it evolves, violet notes add a subtle floral touch to the mix, while musk and woody notes provide a grounding warmth that lingers on the skin.
For best effect, apply two sprays to your pulse points. The pepper and licorice top notes are bright but short-lived, so the warm woody base will carry you throughout the day. This fragrance reads better close to skin than in a wide sillage.
