The review
Ccxii scores 4.4 out of 10 on paper — a long shot territory for anyone chasing 212.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is 212's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
It is $122 per 100ml.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Carolina Herrera 212 is bergamot, orange and gardenia at first, jasmine, lily and freesia at its heart and musk, sandalwood and white woods at the end. Perfume Parlour set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- bergamot

Cool white flowers and musk, crisp minimalist nineties New York.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
