Carolina Herrera presents two new limited edition fragrances from the 212 collection. These are editions for summer 2013 simply named 212 Summer and 212 Men Summer. The fragrances are supposedly inspired by the colors of sunset and transmit the youthful, fresh and luxurious spirit of summer parties and fun on the terraces of New York. 212 Summer, feminine scent, begins with extremely fresh shower of lemon, bergamot and mandarin notes. Femininity is captured by white flowers of jasmine and ylang-ylang as well as raspberry sweetness. All this is placed on a sensual base of saffron, amber, musk and warm woods. The bottles retain the original shape, colored in pink and blue in the classic “tie dye" style. The fragrances come in Eau de Toilette concentration.
