CCXII

Perfume Parlour CCXII is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1999. CCXII opens with Citrus, Grass, and Spicy, settles into a heart of Violet, Gardenia, and Sage, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Incense, and Musk. Perfume Parlour's CCXII carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Perfume Parlour's budget version of Carolina Herrera 212 Men, that crisp green-and-clean classic. It captures the freshly-cut-grass opening and clean woody-musk base, just rendered flatter and with the original's already-average longevity trimmed.

About

This is Perfume Parlour's budget interpretation of Carolina Herrera 212 Men, a green woody musk that defined a certain clean late-90s freshness. It opens with that signature freshly-cut-grass accord - bright citrus leaves and green notes lifted by a hint of spice. The heart stays clean and slightly floral, with a powdery violet, a creamy whisper of gardenia and aromatic sage. The base is the part everyone remembers: a soft, clean blend of sandalwood, transparent musk and a touch of incense for depth. The original sits at average 5-to-7-hour longevity with good sillage; the dupe keeps the crisp green-to-clean-musk arc but renders it thinner and more linear, with the woods less creamy and wear pulled in close. For an inexpensive, fresh-green daily that nails a designer-classic shower-fresh vibe, it delivers for the money.
