Ingredients
Carolina Herrera 212 Men EDP is formulated with denatured alcohol and water as the base solvents, combined with parfum for its rich woody-floral-spicy character. Its aromatic profile includes several common fragrance ingredients and potential allergens—such as linalool, limonene, citronellol, geraniol, citral, hexyl cinnamal, coumarin, alpha-isomethyl ionone, eugenol, and benzyl benzoate—to create its layered scent profile. UV filters like butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane and ethylhexyl salicylate are included to help protect scent integrity against light exposure. To enhance texture and longevity, methyl cyclodextrin, tris(tetramethylhydroxypiperidinol) citrate, and tetrasodium glutamate diacetate are used, alongside BHT as an antioxidant. The fragrance’s distinctive hue is achieved with colorants such as Ext. D&C Violet No. 2 (CI 60730), FD&C Blue No. 1 (CI 42090), and FD&C Yellow No. 5 (CI 19140).
