Carolina Herrera 2013 EDT
212 Summer
Carolina Herrera 212 Summer is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2013. 212 Summer opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Raspberry, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, Amber, and Saffron. Carolina Herrera's 212 Summer carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.
A pleasant enough summer citrus that, for many, doesn't quite stand out from the crowd. The real disappointment here is the anemic longevity, with some finding it vanishes in minutes, echoing the fleeting nature of its limited edition status.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
Built on citrus, fruity and sweet - a composition that sits best in spring, summer and autumn.
Best Occasions
Its fresh and light profile makes it suitable for casual wear and daily use, but its poor longevity mentioned by many reviewers limits its effectiveness for longer events. The subtle projection means it's unlikely to offend in office settings, yet it lacks the substance for formal occasions.
