Perfume Parlour CCXII Boom is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011. CCXII Boom opens with Mandarin and Mint, settles into a heart of Aquatic and Lime, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes and Musk. Perfume Parlour's CCXII Boom carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

CCXII Boom copies Carolina Herrera's 212 Men Pop! - the same cool, fizzy mojito accord of mint and mandarin over a clean musk-and-woods base. The budget version keeps the fun, fresh pop but reads flatter and lighter, with the short staying power the original is already known for.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

CCXII Boom opens on a cool, fizzy rush of mint and mandarin - the playful mojito accord that gave 212 Men Pop! its name. A watery, aromatic heart keeps it crisp and refreshing before a light base of musk and clean woods rounds it off. Against the original the budget take is simpler and flatter, the mint a touch sharper and the drydown thinner, with sillage that stays close to the skin. Since even the Herrera is a light fresh scent with modest longevity, this works the same way: a fun, energetic everyday splash for spring and summer, ideal for casual days, the gym and warm-weather wear.
