About this deal

Yes, but a sexy shark!"... "I dunno, ... powerful but sleek, you know?... like it cuts through the air smooth to your nose but it has a massive devastating hit on you?..." Lacoste Pour Homme EDT is good but very soft, sweet vanilla, rum, cinnamon, pink pepper, and plum fragrance. Yves Saint Laurent Y Live EDT is a great, musky aldehyde, spicy ginger, mint, fruity, pineapple, apple, bergamot, smoky incense, green vetiver, and woody fragrance. except for one thing - longetivity. It's just dissolving from my skin after nearly 3 hours, I can't even sniff it off my wrists at all after that period. Not sure if it's a matter of skin pH or what, but I feel anytime i find perfumes that I love, they are evaporating in no time, while those I have hard time with (vanilla based with fruit) are there usually until the next day, am I cursed or what? I'm not worried for it's legitimacy as I bought it at trusted store. I already tried to macerate it for one month with no significant results, next step would be layering it with some molecules (not sure which will work the best, but I will try few). Maybe I just have to overspray it, not being a sissy sprayer as some Curlies say haha. Honestly, the lavender did not make any difference during evolution. In contrast, the base sweetened by vanilla is present from the beginning, remaining throughout the evolution.

RECOMMENDATION: 212 VIP Men falls in the category of clubbing fragrances; this one offers a good scent and good performance for a reasonable price. Its performance could be better. This is a nice-to-have. Is it very different because it is an EDP? No. The other fragrances of the 212 VIP universe always functioned in a similar way and they were made in Eau de Toilette concentration.

The bottle of 212 Vip Rosé Eau de Parfum is a beauty apart, perhaps the most beautiful of the whole line 212 women, keeping the magnetic cap, but with beautiful finishing in rose gold tones, giving the sensation of luxury and sophistication. Occasion: To be used in daily basis, work, does not bother anyone, you feel clean and fresh, as fresh from the shower. But what is that Caviar lime? Is the Citrus Australasica - a plant with citrus fruits, peculiar format and fully differentiated pulp, which looks like caviar, but does have a citrus flavor. It can have various colors and is also known as Finger lime. UNIQUENESS: 10/10. The combination of absinthe, anise, and fennel gives this fragrance a unique touch.

I start this review with a note: the term “Rosé” comes from a type of champagne. It has nothing to do with the rose, the flower. I have seen so many people asking about the "rose note", that I thought I should clarify this point. Carolina Herrera VIP Rose has some notes which immediately remind me of Madonna's Truth or Dare Nude, only CH VIP Rose is much softer with a little less silage -- however an incredibly nice smelling perfume. Released in 2011, many think that it came in response to the success of 212 Men (now renamed to 212 Men NYC). Obviously, one thing is linked to another, but it was created to make a pair with the female version, released 1 year earlier. The concept, as well as the slogans, remained the same: "Are you on the list?" and "This is a private party.", which reflects the style and attitude of its users.Carolina Herrera 212 VIP EDT is a very good, mild, boozy vodka, spicy ginger, fruity, leather, and woody fragrance.

The bottle i own is 2022 batch, so looking at the votes for longetivity here (with majority on long lasting), was it reformulated so badly at some point? As some people in the comment section mentioned - this seems to be a clubbing scent, so maybe it will come alive in warmer months (as I'm rather not clubbing person myself), fingers crossed if that's its original purpose. For those who like a fruity, fresh, sweet drink with a strong touch of sparkling, this perfume is ideal, you will have the feeling that you are drinking this drink in a vip room, reserved and well cleaned / fresh / airy. As I touched the point, I'll give my opinion: for me, it is a mix of Polo Red Intense with Ultra Male (mainly, as soon as sprayed), with excellent projection and good durability, but almost no evolution.

I agree with Adriana and others below. This is not anything like Euphoria. Euphoria is a spicy Oriental floral suitable to be worn in winter because it's quite heavy, while this is a much lighter floral fruity. Carolina Herrera 212 VIP Men EDT opens with a moderate projection of sweet, citrus, boozy, and leather accords. The opening is light, the notes are mild but recognizable, and pleasant. The lime and passionfruit create a soft fruity accord, the passionfruit is noticeable but not intense, it feels sweet and tropical; the pepper, ginger, and mind add a fresh cooling spicy touch; the vodka is the light, white-alcohol type, not bold, not intense, but boozy. The woodsy notes are soft, the leather and amber are projecting accords, the leather is a soft touch. The fragrance is very linear, all notes come up as soon as the fragrance is applied and continues into the dry-down, the only noticeable change is the projection, it goes from moderate to low. One Carolina Herrera 212 VIP Men EDT has reached its full dry-down, it can be summarized as a low projection, light vodka, gin, and passion fruit fragrance with spicy, leather, and woody accords. The fragrance feels boozy, diluted, fruity, inexpensive, soft leathery, moderate-quality, masculine, playful, short-lived, sweet, tropical, weak, woody, young, and pleasant. By the way... my husband hates it and I don't understand why. He doesn't know why either, but he hates it lol. Thankfully for him I wasn't wearing this everyday anymore when we first met. Most important of all, all the notes of 1 million is constructed around leather, while base of 212 are woods and most notes are different.. I bought this fragrance when willing to chose between one of the Dolce&Gabbana scents. I found them way too heavy and peppery on my skin so I asked the assistant to show me something more fresh and sweet. After smeeling loads of perfumes I found Herrera's Rose' suprisingly fruity and joyfull. I've decided to give it a try buying a set containing also a fragranced body lotion. I think it was a great choice, my boyfriend just fell in love with this scent and he always says that he admires the way how the perume matches the natural scent of my skin and how it lasts on the pillows and bedlinen even when I'm gone.
