Carolina Herrera: 212 Sexy, Eau de Toilette

I first smelt this at the airport when my husband and I were killing time in the duty free shop before boarding. He bought it for me as we both loved it...this was in late 2005 and whilst I did not replace it when it ran out (as I don't like to buy the same perfume all of the time), I bought another 100ml bottle at the end of last year which I am currently working my way through. It has a musky and fairly powerful scent, but manages this without actually being overpowering if that makes sense at all. The design of the bottle (or should I say bottles) is what initially caught our attention in the shop, as it is a metal middle section with a shaped 'end' on either side ...  Read the complete review

I use this perfume, (ive actually run out at the moment, but i endevour to get some more and start using it again.) The reason i bought this perfume initially was because of the design of the bottle, i hadnt even smelt it before perchasing, luckily i fell in love with the fragrance too, but as i say the initial attraction was for the bottle lol. it has 2 circular containers which twist into the main body of the bottle, these circular containers each contain the perfume. A very trendy bottle, it looks lovely out on the draws so you dont have to hide it away if you dont want to. THe fragrance its self is distinctive (as all perfumes) i hadnt smelt ...  Read the complete review

I got this as a present from my dad and absolutely love it! Not sure how much he paid for it but have seen it in a few stores since. It is a beautiful scent really sweet and girly. Not too strong as I don't tend to like very overpowering smells and lasts well. I really love the packaging as it's quite unusual. The bottle is basically a sort of pink metal holder and then at either end there is a hand sized round bottle with spray top. These bottles at either end clip into the middle holder and have a flat part to stand the whole thing up. I tend to lay it flat as there are four small studs on the metal bit and this seems better and more stable to me ...  Read the complete review

This perfume does exactly what it says on the tin - it is unbelieveably sexy without a hint of irony. Deep and musky in a feminine way, hints of bergamot and vanilla but not at all sweet. It's a complete turn on of a perfume, but also suitable for day wear. It's sexy in a "wearing a negligee but you ahve to use your imagination to see what's underneath" kind of way, as opposed to all out and out chavtastic "take me to the bedroom now" - nicely paired with khol eye make up! I haven't smelt the male version but the female version goes very well with Jean Paul Gautier Homme - the two together make an incredible combination of lust, mystery and ...  Read the complete review

It was my husband who selected this perfume for me.Actually he got it for me as a birthday gift.The gift was a combination pack of 30ml perfume bottle and a 100ml hydrating body lotion. The perfume was in a cute bottle, very handy and easily fits into my travel kit and even my daily vanity bags.The body lotion pack looked more like a cream but it is really hydrating. Then i opened the perfume,sprayed a little bit on my towel...mmmm ya ok, well... good... cool.. wow classy.Exactly this was how i rated it because at first i could smell the alcohol then the smell changed got better and better to a classy cool smell. Usually i used to get ...  Read the complete review
