Carolina Herrera 212 NYC Pills is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2016, created by Alberto Morillas. 212 NYC Pills opens with Cactus, Bergamot, Mandarin, and Orange Blossom, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Lily Of The Valley, and Peony, and dries down to a base of Musk and Sandalwood. Carolina Herrera's 212 NYC Pills carries an Acquired verdict, a white floral-led wear.

This one's a divisive floral, not for the faint of heart or those seeking an 'easy' wear. Some find its strong, almost unisex white floral character addictive, while others are put off by a persistent synthetic edge. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

Built on white floral, floral and citrus - a composition that sits best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and strong, potentially 'disharmonious' blend make it less suitable for office or formal settings. However, its clean, fresh, and somewhat unique character could work for casual outings, though some find it too strong for close encounters like dates.

About

Opens with a zesty citrus burst of bergamot and mandarin, quickly entwining with the unusual, green prickle of cactus. A vast bouquet of white florals then unfurls, with potent jasmine and gardenia leading the charge, underscored by soft rose and lily of the valley. The dry down settles into a clean, musky embrace with a hint of creamy sandalwood, retaining a fresh, almost soapy quality throughout.
