Description
Launch & Identity
Created in 1997 for women, 212 was designed to capture the modern, urban energy of New York City. It suits someone who’s active, refined, and likes to smell clean but interesting.Style & Fragrance Family
A floral woody musk perfume. It blends classic white florals and clean citrus with soft woods and musk, giving balance between brightness and softness.Notes & Structure
Top notes: Orange blossom, bergamot, mandarin orange, plus a touch of cactus flower — yields a fresh, slightly green‑citrus opening.
Heart (middle): A bouquet of white and garden florals — gardenia, lily, jasmine, white camelia, peony, freesia, lily‑of‑the‑valley, rose — very lush and feminine but not overwhelming.
Base notes: Musk, sandalwood — smooth, clean, and soft around the edges; helps the scent linger and gives warmth without heaviness.
Scent Evolution & Feel
At first spray you’ll notice a crisp citrus mixed with some green fizz, then the white and garden florals bloom and dominate, giving a creamy, delicate, almost clean perfume soap vibe. As time goes on, the woods and musk settle in, softening the florals so it’s more about comforting softness than bold floral drama.Longevity & Projection
Decent for an Eau de Toilette. Projection is moderate—noticeable, especially in the early and floral stages. Over time it becomes more intimate but still leaves a pleasant, lingering presence especially on fabric or in clothes.Best Use / When It Shines
Ideal for daytime: work, casual outings, spring, summer, warm weather. Great when you want to feel fresh, floral, elegant, comfortable. Less suited for very formal evenings or when you want something intense‑oriented: this one is more subtle elegance than bold statement.Character & Vibe
It smells clean, somewhat gentle, but with a classic floral beauty. There’s a soft elegance to it — it doesn’t shout, but it feels refined. Kind of like wearing a crisp white shirt in the morning: polished, simple, yet makes you feel put together.
