An ode to friendship, freedom, and endless partying

Many say the best years of life were their 20s, whereby it sees a time of newly sought freedom, naivety, and optimism. ‘Youth’ as they call it is precious as you only get to experience it once, but why let a number decide how long you should be enjoying this feeling? Being young at heart preserves this state, and so does Carolina Herrera’s 212 fragrance collection which meticulously encapsulates the free spirit of the new generation. Born as a celebration of youth, these fresh urban scents also serve as an ode to friendship, freedom, and partying, which fittingly complements the authenticity and fearlessness of those who embrace youth as a life philosophy and who bring the party everywhere they go.

The Range

Surely, the flacon has to be as iconic to match up to its name. With Smiley® being the theme, of course, the global symbol of positivity and happiness has to be embossed onto the perfume bottles. Perfectly aligning with Carolina Herrera’s original philosophy of ‘Alegria de Vivir (joy for life), both the 212 VIP Rose Smiley® and Black Smiley® are set to put a smile on your face.

For Her: 212 VIP Rose Smiley®

212 VIP Rose Smiley® conjures happy memories with its fresh and effervescent scent. It starts off sweet with notes of zingy Madagascar Mandarin, before transitioning into an aromatic heart of Lavender and Bulgarian Rose. Just when you thought the olfactory experience ends, rich, woody notes of Patchouli and Balsam Fir strike you hard. A warm, fuzzy closing that leaves a lasting impression for sure.

For Him: 212 VIP Black Smiley®

For the men, 212 VIP Black Smiley® is where you’ll find your happy place. A mischievous take on the original 212 VIP Black fragrance, cheekily granting an olfactory surprise. The juxtaposition of sweet and spicy is conspicuous here. With spicy top notes of ginger and blood orange giving way to a sweet aromatic heart of lavandin, Madagascar pepper, and sesame. But wait there’s more, vanilla is also thrown into the mix to add some sweetness, not to mention a burst of energy to this complex fragrance.
