The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2009, 212 On Ice by Carolina Herrera is a Floral fragrance that captures the essence of modern elegance. The opening notes of bergamot and mandarin orange bring a fresh citrus aroma that immediately feels crisp and invigorating. As it develops, the scent transitions into a heart of peony, lily, gardenia, and iris, creating a lush bouquet of white florals and soft powdery accords. This floral richness is grounded by woody and musky base notes, providing depth and warmth without overpowering the freshness.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for an all-day wear that evolves gracefully. The bright citrus top notes fade within the first hour, so it's best to reapply after lunch if you want the full floral warmth to carry through the evening.
