About

212 H2O opens with a vibrant, zesty burst of grapefruit and mandarin, instantly invigorating the senses. This bright citrus quickly blends into a heart of creamy gardenia, softened by a zesty hint of ginger. The dry-down is a subtly warm embrace of sandalwood and musk, leaving behind a clean, luminous scent that feels like freshly showered skin.
