The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2007 by Carolina Herrera, 212 Splash for Women is a fragrance that embodies the bright and fresh spirit of New York City. It opens with zesty citrus notes like bergamot, mandarin orange, and grapefruit, which create an invigorating freshness. This vibrant top layer gives way to a heart of litchi and peony, adding a touch of sweetness and floral complexity. The composition settles into a warm base of cedar, musk, and sandalwood, providing a cozy and powdery finish that is both comforting and sophisticated.
Start with one or two sprays — the citrus top notes are bright and fresh but fade within an hour. The woody base will linger close to your skin throughout the day, making it perfect for daytime wear.
