A brisk walk through a city park in early spring, where the sharp tang of grapefruit mingles with the subtle sweetness of blooming flowers and the coolness of freshly cut grass.

The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2005, 212 on Ice 2005 by Carolina Herrera is a Floral Fruity fragrance that combines the freshness of citrus with the warmth of floral and spicy notes. The composition opens with bright bergamot and grapefruit, which give way to a heart of peony, rose, and gardenia. A musky base anchors this vibrant blend, creating a dynamic contrast between crispness and richness. This fragrance embodies the sophistication and elegance that has long been synonymous with Carolina Herrera’s brand.
Apply one to two sprays for optimal impact — the bright citrus top notes fade quickly but leave room for the floral heart and musky base to shine. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than across a room, so aim for pulse points for a more intimate experience.
