It’s a super feminine fragrance, like a well-made strawberry girl scent. It’s not for kids, but rather something refined and rich, though it’s way too expensive for what it is. The bottle is cute. 👌🏻

Delicious! Honestly, it doesn’t feel that young to me, maybe because of the jasmine and wood notes. But overall, it’s a good perfume.
metroidsoldier
I tried it in-store and it smells great, sweet and party-ready. It’s not ‘bad girl’ or rebellious, but youthful, ideal for a 15 or 18-year-old girl. The 212 Heroes for women is better; the men’s version doesn’t convince me due to the cannabis-like scent.
Aleurette
Fruity, citrusy, fresh, pretty, and soft. The wood notes are barely noticeable, and the fruity notes last several hours. It reminded me a lot of Nina Extra Rouge. If it’s the same… I prefer the Nina one.
Loreamaranta
Sweet, fresh, and floral, very youthful—perfect for spring and summer. I loved trying it, but the price is way too high for what it is. I wouldn’t pay for it.
Ayelén Terán
I got it as a gift a while back and liked it quite a bit. One day I over-sprayed it and got a headache and nausea, so be careful with that. Otherwise, I received compliments. It does its job.
Pablova
It smells good dry, but on my skin it becomes heavy and cloying to the point of being annoying. Personally, I didn’t like it; it was a waste of money, but since I have it, I’m not throwing it away.
MIRYAM2025
I like it, smells great, very feminine and sweet without being cloying. But it’s not ideal for me. I don’t think I’ll buy it again.
Fer96
For a CH 212 line fragrance, it’s too soft and doesn’t last long. It’s very different from what I’m used to, since the rest of the line is intense, strong, super sweet, floral, and night-time. This one is soft, floral, with a sweet touch, jasmine, and orange blossom wrapped in raspberry and juicy fruits. Super youthful, ideal for spring-summer and daytime. Conclusion: Do I like it? Yes. Is it worth the price? No. It’s pretty but expensive and not very original. I bought it because I got it on sale with installments, but honestly, a dupe is worth more. The Atelier 02 by Sofía Sarkany is very similar at an accessible price; there are probably Zara dupes too.

I really like this perfume, even among sweeter scents. I love it; it’s very pleasant, sweet, yet fresh. It lasts longer in spring and summer, ideal for everyday wear or when you want to smell clean and fresh. It has sweet and citrusy raspberry with a floral and musky touch; the woods are barely felt. It’s very feminine, youthful, and pretty.
marlina
Acidic and woody; it doesn’t turn heads, but I absolutely love it. Wish it were cheaper and lasted longer than four hours—just skin scent after that.
diadasia
Very soft, simple, and short-lived; blindly, I thought it was a body mist. The raspberry comes out strong, then the mandarin takes over with white flowers and woods. It’s youthful and fresh at first, but as it dries down, it becomes more mature and floral, even leaning masculine for some. Since I already own it, it’s great for layering or soft days, but I wouldn’t buy it again; at that price, there are infinitely better options.
perfumera
Soft and pretty, no denying it, but… it smells masculine.
Sulamita Dulce
Used it for three days with a large decant: six sprays and it lasts a maximum of four hours, the last two hours as skin scent. It’s pretty, youthful, fresh with jasmine and a fruity-citrus touch. It’s soft; it doesn’t give compliments. I apply cream, oil, and splash before wearing it. I wouldn’t buy the full bottle; its performance is low, it acts like a cologne water. Good thing I ordered a decant.
Luciibelen15
Fresh, ideal for mid-season. The opening is 100% raspberry, rich but nothing that excites me. I wouldn’t buy it again unless it’s at a very good price.
Euge2902
Terrible; there’s no trace on the skin after half an hour. Totally regretting the purchase. Terrible quality.
Cherry pink
Quite long-lasting with good projection, smells sweet without being overwhelming, but has a certain masculine note ideal for authority figures: police officers, female lawyers, bosses… It doesn’t fully convince me, especially regarding the price; it’s massively overpriced because it has nothing of the ‘Forever Young’ youthful vibe; it’s for a serious or professional character. NOTE: it gives me a headache after 30 minutes. It doesn’t cause nausea or disgust, but it does cause pain.
Scnh98
Smells super good, sweet raspberry. Refreshing, sweet, youthful. My only complaint is the longevity: terrible. I had to buy a lotion and essential raspberry oil to layer and make it last longer; with that combo, it does last many hours. But considering it cost me over $70 and I had to spend extra to make it worthwhile, honestly, it makes me think.
Jess Jiménez
Feminine, fresh raspberry opening, then as it dries down, for me it’s sandalwood and more sandalwood. Day-long longevity; I’d dare say weeks on clothes; lasts a long time on skin. The bottle is lovely, though I prefer simple and minimalist ones. Unfortunately, I don’t perceive it as youthful; I don’t feel the fruity or floral notes. I love Carolina Herrera perfumes, but for me, this isn’t on the list of must-haves.
Fernandi_19
I love it! I wanted it so much, and my husband gifted it to me for my birthday. I adore its sweet yet soft, classy scent… I save it for special occasions.
Lorevcs
I bought it blindly after seeing a TikTok. At first, I thought it was pricey—I paid 55,000 pesos for 30ml. On the first day, I liked it; one spray lasted about 6 hours. But since I don’t like overly sweet perfumes, I detected too much raspberry, and by the second day, it gave me an unbearable headache. It disappointed me. I’ll keep it for special occasions but won’t use it daily. Maybe someone else will like it more.
Blondielicious
My husband gifted it to me without me testing it first, and I’m absolutely thrilled. I’d already smelled it at the store and couldn’t stop thinking about it. It was almost at the top of my wishlist, but I chose two others for their versatility. However, now that I own it, I can’t believe I lived without it. When I sprayed it, I felt it on my skin without even bringing my nose close, and the projection is amazing. It’s sad that my husband isn’t as captivated by it as I am; he likes it, but not as much as I do. To me, it’s delicious—like a raspberry cream ice cream, delicately powdery, very fruity with white florals and fresh notes. It’s perfect for everyday wear; it’s not overpowering, ideal for summer afternoons by the coast or strolling with someone you love. It’s innocent yet playful, sensual, and youthful. Women like Lolita, Julia Roberts, or Thelma could rock it. I have no regrets; just putting it on changed my mood and filled my soul with good vibes. I feel regal and relaxed. So happy to have it. It’s perfect.
snowfleur
In my opinion, it’s too expensive. It smells good, but the scent is nothing special—something you can find in any other women’s perfume. I don’t know how it performs for others, but it doesn’t last on me at all and leaves no sillage; it’s like wearing a body mist.
natalia21
I had high expectations. At first, it smelled great, but once it dried down, it felt more floral than fruity. My disappointment was that after 3 hours, I couldn’t smell anything, just a faint trace from far away. I have a neutral pH, and in terms of value, it’s not worth it. The price is way too high for how little it lasts. I don’t recommend it.
Jacibarra
I love it! I’m young, 18, and it seems perfect for my age. The scent is rich, fruity, and sweet. You can clearly detect the raspberry and tangerine, along with the woody base and jasmine. After many hours, only the fruit remains, and I absolutely adore that. It’s my go-to perfume for everything—day, night, any season.
FlorXS
Very pleasant aroma. On my skin, it’s fruity, almost like a sweet and fresh cocktail. I find it ideal for spring-summer, especially after a shower to go out smelling amazing. I don’t find it sophisticated, but it is cheerful and youthful, which doesn’t stop older people from wearing it. In short, it didn’t kill me, but I really liked it and would add it to my collection.
Manuelito96
It’s very delicious. My girlfriend has it, but as a man, I’d wear it once in a while (it’s not masculine, but it’s wearable). The opening smells like freshly opened white wine or a bottle of champagne; that doesn’t last long, but it’s curious. Afterward, it’s completely soapy, with noticeable white florals and sweet fruits that aren’t cloying. It lasts about 6 hours; the sillage is low, but it’s perceptible at close range and doesn’t get tiring. I see it on young women, but it suits anyone. Recommended.
Palom4
I love it! It was love at first sniff, and I think it’s the one I’ve used up the fastest and one of the most praised. It’s so sparkling, feminine, sweet yet fresh, with that duo of raspberry and tangerine mixed with little flowers and woods… it’s those perfumes that accompany you in any occasion without getting tiring. My favorite is after a shower in the summer. Exquisite; I’m already on my second bottle. It’s a perfume I always want. Is it generic and common? Absolutely not; it doesn’t resemble any other.
Ceelee
The bottle is luxurious, but the scent is a very common floral-fruit cliché. It smells like pink deodorant; could be a one-time impulse. It’s pretty and pleasant, but not worth the price.
