Carolina Herrera 212 Surf for Him is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2014. 212 Surf for Him opens with Sea Water, settles into a heart of Grapefruit, and dries down to a base of Patchouli. Carolina Herrera's 212 Surf for Him carries a Statement verdict, a marine-led wear.

This one's a divisive beast. Some adore its powerful marine freshness, while others find it a synthetic headache. If you can stomach a strong opening, you might just find a powerful, salty-citrus summer scent here - but don't say we didn't warn you about the polarising aroma.

About

Dive headfirst into an oceanic blast with 212 Surf. It crashes in with an intense, salty sea water accord, sharp and invigorating, before a zesty grapefruit heart cuts through the aquatic intensity. The dry down introduces a woody, earthy patchouli, providing a grounding counterpoint to the vibrant, almost aggressive marine opening. It's an unapologetically bold, synthetic interpretation of a day by the waves.
