About the Perfume
Launched in 1999, Carolina Herrera 212 Men NYC was envisioned by acclaimed perfumers Alberto Morillas, Rosendo Mateu, and Ann Gottlieb. The fragrance pays homage to New York City, drawing its name from Manhattan's famous 212 area code. It successfully revolutionized the men’s fragrance market by introducing a distinct blend of crisp green freshness paired with a warm, sensual, woody undertone. For over two decades, it has remained a staple on vanity counters worldwide, bridging the gap between sporty vitality and refined luxury. As a premium Eau de Toilette (EDT), it provides an exquisite balance of initial vibrancy and long-lasting subtlety.

Heart Notes
Ginger: Brings a sharp, zesty, and slightly fiery clean vibe that keeps the composition dynamic.
Green Pepper & Gardenia: An innovative floral-spice combination that adds a smooth, creamy, yet masculine floral complexity rarely found in traditional men's scents.
