Advantages: Light fragrance, long-lasting, refreshing Disadvantages: The packaging is unusual and a bit awkward
...truth, I'd never heard of Carolina Herrera before last September. At that time, I was in the Duty Free on my way to the UK and there was a special display of this perfume. Since I was already tired, I decided a quick pick-me-up of a spray of perfume would help. Little was I to know that it would be so delightful!
You should know that I have very sensitive skin, and many perfumes can make me come out in a rash. So, I was taking a chance with trying ... ...wear perfumes too often, and my collection is a very small one. This is also because have extremely specific tastes when it comes to perfumes. It can't be too sweet, nor too musky, nor too woody. I go for the mainly tangy citrus scents with light floral and/or soapy fresh undertones.
In the end, I practically stopped wearing perfume altogether. I thought I'd never find a good day-time perfume that didn't make me itch all day and also suited my taste.

I checked this out at duty free once, and bought a bottle immediately. Partially because it comes in this really cool container with a magnetic top ;-) But mainly because it smells distinctly different to most aftershaves you can get.
It smells very fresh, and it feels very light on your skin. It doesn't sting either (even if you've just had a shave!)
I also got some deoderant to go with it, and they complement each other very well.
I highly recommend ...

Advantages: Two little bottles Disadvantages: Can spary whilst in your bag
I first came across this when i was lunching with a friend one day. i really liked the fresh smell of her prefume and asked her how what it was. She showed me the cute little bottle she had in her bag and then asked if i would like her to bring me some back from the duty free as she was going on holiday the next again week.
A couple of weeks later and for the small sum of £25.00 (duty free price) i had a new fragrance. You get two little bottles ... ...bottle. It has to come in another container because although its a nice design you cant stand the bottles up on your dressing table other wise.
The smell is very fresh and crisp and is so different to the usual fragrances i've had. It is very light and ideal for everyday use. ONe downside is that i dont think this perfume has alot of staying power and i tend to spray this again by midday to keep me smelling sweet!!
One other downside i have found ...

Advantages: Beautiful smell, lasts all day. Disadvantages: NONE!
Hey! A few years ago now, my friend came back from America and with her brought me 212. What can i say? Since then, i have found myself on my 4th bottle of the stuff! It is adorable! I used to work on a fragrance counter and my mum, sister and I are mad on perfume- so you'll understand i have smelt many, and know what peoples' general opinions are on fragrances. 212 has impressed everyone. It is one of those fragrances which is not common- so not ... ...scent is unique- although many people love the smell- even men! It is a cool smell, very fresh and light, yet it lasts all the day. It has an addicive almost scent- i love smelling it! You may think i'm going overboard but please go into your nearest fragrance store- Superdurg/Boots etc, and ask for a sample. It is utter wonderful. It comes in an attractive 'capsual' and lasts for ages! Prices range from about £20 to £35. It is worth it, and customers ...

Advantages: It's a perfume that I can wear all the time Disadvantages:
Since being a teenager I've been an avid perfume collector & this by far my most favourite.I first got to smell it when my mum bought hersel some when abroad & it was just so nice.I kept looking at in the shops & hinting that I wanted it for Christmas.It has a really light,crisp,fresh smell about & it can be worn day or night.My husband actually bought me it for Christmas last year & it came in a really attractive box set with some body lotion which ... ...attractive & elegant capsule & is actually 2 bottles of the perfume.The individual bottles are quite small so they are really easy to slip into your bag so that you can take the perfume out with you if you need to freshen up.
In my opinion this perfume makes the ideal girt or treat for yourself.The fact that it comes in such a fancy bottle actually gives you the impression of it being a lot more expensive than it actually is.It'll definitely be ...

I have discovered this fragrance about 5 years ago, since that I MUST have a bottle of it at all the time. The scent is very fresh, but not "sporty", more like flowery. Whenever I wear it, people compliment it. The beauty of this perfume is that even though it smells excellent, it's not worn by every second women unlike some other perfumes, if you know what I mean...The 100ml bottle is quite handy, instead of one big bottle there are 2x 50ml ones ...

I bought this perfume for two reasons. The first reason was that it smells fantastic. The second one was that it looks fantastic. The scent is very hard to describe – it is a bit fruity and a bit musky but I really can’t work out what all the different elements are. To me, the only really important thing is that it smells gorgeous, which it really does. Then there is the packaging… Well, basically the bottle is a very unusual design so that there ...

Advantages: The bottle is really nice too Disadvantages: none
I first tried 212 when my friend bought it for me on holiday and i've been addicted ever since. What I like about the smell is how clean and fresh it is. It makes me feel like I do when i've just had a bath with an expensive bath essence. My boyfriend doesn't relly like perfumes - he says they are too strong and overpowering - but he loves this one. I think that's because it is so light. It doesn't wear off easily despite not being very strong and ...
