Reviews of 212 Sexy (2004)
by Carolina Herrera

To tell the truth. Candy is the top note and tangerine is the middle note. It is simple and nice. But has nothing special to rise among similar ones.

Initially I perceived this perfume to smell similar to Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf. There is a similarity in the two fragrances, and in my opinion this is mainly due to the cotton candy note delivered by the 212 Sexy that is undisclosed but present in the Flowerbomb. But once you get passed the cotton candy note, you are left with two very distinct fragrances. Now don't get me wrong, I absolutely enjoyed the 212 Sexy permeating from my arm, enveloping me in an aromatic, nebular mist of sweet, floral, and spicy smells. One particular difference between the two fragrances is the tangerine and bergamot, found in the top notes of the 212 Sexy. These notes create a unique blend that seperates this perfume from its competitors. And if that doesn't impress you, I can tell you that one spray on my arm lasted all night. I could still smell the perfume fairly well, though close to my skin, on my arm when I woke up in the morning. Even after probably rubbing it off on my sheets all night. Though it isn't the extraordinarily complex, I give this fragrance a thumbs up for being enticing, warm, and more than just pleasant.

A candy sweet fragrance with a little touch of floral scent. Nothing much can be said about this frag, the notes transition (top to bottom) is an ultimate disaster. I do believe that the idea of having to relate the 'sweet scent' with 'of being sexy' at the first place is wrong at all.

my gilr firend and i like it pretty much. In my personal opinion i think its pretty good to wear it at nights.

Its a good variation of the 212 presentations but i guess that the normal 212 would be better for her. And steel id be finding her incredibly sexy with o r without a sexy tag on her perfume.

I tried this as one of my friends has it. I find it alright, but a bit simplistic and I wouldnt describe it as sexy. I dont like it enough to buy it.

I got this in a sample pack and was pleasantly surprised. I expected it to be too strong for me, but I really love it.

I find that for a sexy scent, it feels a bit anonymous. I thought sexy meant sultry and atractive and demanded a bit of attention, but this one doesn't feel that way. It's an ok scent and has very pretty notes but they don't seem to develop on the drydown. It should have been called Demure..it's floral and has a very light swetness to it. For everyday wear i think cause at nightime it can be drowned by other smells easily. It's fresh as well. A simple one from Herrera. i thought it's not up there aas the rest of the Herreras.

yes its sexy. great for nighttime.

Too dry for my taste. The scent never changes. It stays a strong heady burnt wood smell. I'd add a little more to this one to make it stand out.

love it love it love it love it
so tasty you could eat it

Not as straightforward or sweet as it sounds on paper, 212 Sexy is as sophisticated as the rest of the fragrances in the Herrera house. There is quite a bit of floral in this (I can't imagine a fragrance by Carolina that didn't have floral - that would just be uncharacteristic) as well as the spun-sugariness of the cotton candy and the smooth underlayer of honeyish "212 musk." It's a soft scent, vaguely woody, in the same very general family as fragrances like Hanae Mori and Versace Woman but perhaps just a bit less intense than those. 212 Sexy is versatile enough to wear year-round if it's your kind of fragrance; it's more of what I would classify as a lifestyle scent than a seasonal one. Very feminine but not at all fragile, quite light-spirited but possessive of a bit of sultriness as well - that's how I'd sum this one up in a phrase.
