Carolina Herrera has launched the 2008 versions of her limited edition 212 Splash fragrances for summer. The scents are lighter variations on the original 212 fragrances and were "inspired by the fast pace of the city of New York". The outer packaging, like last year's, is designed to evoke soda cans.
212 Splash for women (shown) features notes of bergamot, grapefruit, mandarin, peony, rose, jasmine, lychee, cedar, sandalwood and musk. It is available in 60 ml Eau de Toilette.
212 Men Splash includes bergamot, mint, fresh notes, ginger, nutmeg, cardamom, gardenia, sandalood, incense and transparent musk. 212 Men Splash is sold in 100 ml Eau de Toilette.

for a 'spicy woods fragrance' there is an awful lot of fruit in the mens esprit…
Yeah, fruit seems to be “the new black” in men's fragrance these days, sorry to say.
Perhaps the fruit is not so overwhelming in the juice itself? But yes, men's scents are awfully fruity lately too.
original 212 was this amazing, light but heady scent (hate those clunky pill shaped bottles though) that i used to wear in the summer… but they keep coming up with these substandard flankers. still, it was pretty cool when they did one inside an actual glass bottle (i think it was blue or aqua colored at the time), and since i was about, 15 years old, the aquatic fruit nonsense was appealing to me at the time…
212 didn't work for me, but know lots of people love it. The first 212 Summer Splash I saw at Sephora & couldn't even figure out how to get it open 🙂
