212 Heroes

Still my go to summer scent. Of all the different masculine, summer-oriented scent profiles, the Pear-Cannabis-Ginger in 212 Heroes is just a thing of genius. Sharp, assertive fresh citrus with the zingy bite of Ginger and this underlying unusual green, herbaceous yet fruity accord that is addictive. Some scents with Cannabis note can come across as too funky making them a bit risky to wear out and about (Kolmaz Cannabis and Kolmaz Marijuana - I am especially looking at you 😬) but as you get with scents like Bad Boy Le Parfum, the Cannabis note adds an unusual edge that is kind of intriguing. As far as the bottle goes, yeah it is a bit cheesy but also a bit of fun too. I try not to take life too seriously but I can also understand why this bottle design might have limited its market appeal to some degree. However, what I noticed about it is that it isn't "1 Million" 😉 miles away from the bottle design of another well known fragrance that's still one of the biggest sellers on the planet today........it is essentially that same bottle in silver (rather than gold), a little wider maybe but with a 'slouch' and 4 wheels stuck on the back. Other than that its pretty much the same bottle. As time goes on prices for 212 Heroes are coming down little by little so this makes it much more accessible for more people.......I just hope the price coming down is not Carolina Herrera's way of lining this gem up for discontinuation. I do hope not.😟

I was looking for an alternative to Invictus since it's too sharp on me, I also wanted something fresh and wearable with weed in it, this also has pear and leather (love them) it also happens to be made by CH and I really like the quality of their perfumes; so this one went straight to favorites <3. Smells like crispy pear juice with a spiciness added through the ginger, the cannabis is very nice here 🍀😋 adds a slight dankness to the scent profile that makes it stand out and the leathery drydown is amazinggg. It projects very well, envelops in a comfortable scent bubble, and longevity is decent (~6hrs) I usually don't mind respraying but the only downside is that this one is a bit pricey for that 💸 I think the bottle is fine I like it, but if you don't and you still want the juice, there is a 150ml version that has a cleaner design (it's transparent with a lid) and it's a much better deal price-wise since this is kind of an everyday scent.

I adore this fragrance. The first thing I want to say is don't judge this fragrance according to others' opinions, which are often influenced by prejudices; judge it after you smell it. I didn't get any Invictus smell from it and by the way I have huge respect for Invictus but it's another topic maybe I will write my opinion about it later. 212 Heroes Carolina Herrera has above-average performance on my skin when it comes to smell and quality I love the smooth herbal powdery smell that comes from cannabis mixed with sweet pear and zesty ginger. It is versatile. overall 8/10

The bottle is big and shiny. But honestly, I kind of like it. And I like the scent. It screams off my skin for the first 1.5 hours, then that screaming, in-your-face sweetness dies away, rather suddenly, with the base just being lazy. And, I think I can convince myself of some cannabis in there, but it's like someone smoked weed 10 weeks ago and it is just barrrley on their clothes. I wish it lasted longer, but for the first 1.5 hours, I love the sugar blast. Pro tip: don't try an ollie with your glass bottle.

I was gifted this perfume during high school, one of my first perfumes ever, and yet it remains still to this day my most complimented fragrance for some reason? The cannabis pear work together in harmony here, and people just like it. A lot of people talk badly about it but for a young man, it’s actually a top choice and an excellent intro to the fragrance world with some more experimental notes compared to the axe types.

It doesn’t smell like invictus. It’s actually more enjoyable to wear and I also do not smell no cannabis. Mind you, I’m a big pot head lol. It’s fresh with green notes so I guess that’s what the cannabis would be. You could smell the pear also. It’s really good. For the comment below me... you wear whatever tf you wanna wear no matter the age 😉

Not that close to neither Invictus or Invictus Aqua. It's more like a fresh lovechild between Bad Boy Parfum and Bad Boy Cobalt. Fresh, sweet with that tart hint of cannabis. Don't let that horrible bottle fool you...it's much better than it's reputation. Clearly aimed at the younger crowd but I'm 51 and still wear it with pride.

People called this invictus clone for make people hate this fragrance. This have invictus like dna 40% but also has own smell. This is safe fragrance smells very good fresh aquatic,herbal,fruity and little bit sweet. Smells good quality too. longevity also good 6-7 hours with good projection. This is more warm weather fragrance

Smells so good, smells so good, smells so good, smells so good, smells so good, I love this scent, 100ml? I sprayed it all in 1 month, not even 2 months, there's definitely a 2nd and 3rd bottle, f. those antis. 8/10 Deducted 2 points because the smell fades very quickly, even when sprayed on clothes.

it is solid release from Carolina the top note may not be easy-going for most of us but its cannabis fades away almost quickly, turns into sthing bright, fresh with a bit sweet the drydown is to die for.. and this scent is super long lasting with average projection

OMG its nothing like Invictus wtf????? Its a very unique fragrance, very green a little bit sweet and in my case its amazing. But Invictus ???? Come on!!!! No way. Finally a very manly young supercool stuff. Only one problem is the price. Peace!

My boyfriends signature scent. Can't get enough of sniffing his neck, especially towards the end of the day, because I am obsessed with the drydown. The opening is a bit too harsh citrusy for me though. Overall great perfume for a young man.

Es un perfume muy fresco y juvenil. Muy diferente a todos los demás que he olido. Muy versátil, fácil de gustar. Con olor muy agradable. Ha sido una buena adquisición para mi colección.

Lo amo! Es el mejor perfume que he tenido hasta ahora! Es perfecto para adolescentes y es bastante intenso! Lo recomiendo mucho!

Fresco. Fue de mis primeros perfumes y es buenísimo te lo recomiendo si estás buscando un perfume este es CALIDAD.

the drydown is totally identical to Diesel Sound of the brave

I like this one but, the thing is that doesn't perform well. The projection with this is a bit weak, I'd say that project ok for 1 1/2 hours and then goes slightly over the skin. Also you won't feel the smell after 5-6 hours in a mild weather. In hot weather don ́t think you ́ll notice this one in more than 4 hours. It is slightly sweet but also fresh and green for the cannabis note (the sweet one is for the pear). I'd recommed this fragrance to go to school or something with air conditioning, the nice thing about the fragrance is that you can use it almost whenever you want. Personally I use this one as my blue fragrance. Ok for it's value but I bet you can get something better for the price. Even cheaper.

Fruity and fresh 7/10 Made for younger people obviously but can still be worn by an older audiences This is my first review on fragrantica as I'm only 14 but this in my opinion is a decent fragrance. The top note is mostly pear with a nice aromatic undertone. The cannabis doesn't smell smoked but rather a earthy smell. Also, the ginger gives it almost a spicy tone which I like. To me it doesn't smell like invictus, all though it is sweet it's not super bubble gummy sweet like how invictus is. I wouldn't blind buy it but I also heard it's hard to find bottles of it in the US (I bought it in Europe)

#1062 in my "Tour de Fragrance" This is very much in the Invictus category. The only reason I'm not loving this very fresh scent is the EDT potency. If they did this as an EDP I would definitely love it. But you know how fast freshies give out, even at EDP potency. The opening is great. Everything works here and the cannabis is mild enough that it doesn't come off smelling like the Tau Kappa Episilon fraternity house. But like all EDT's it's short lived. You'd definitely respray at lunch. Car pool, elevator and small office safe. It's okay for business and casual warm weather wear.

The opening is amazing just straight sour pear with freshness. It’s stays juicy for about 30 mins then drys down and you’re left with a sad shell of what the opening was and don’t get me wrong i like this fragrance ,smells good, but overtime i’ve started to dislike the fry down it’s just off putting for me do with this review what you will. Side note: I would not pay over 75$ for the 90ml it’s just not worth it at anything over that and even 75$ is pushing it for value.
