When the initial alcoholic burst subsides a little - it lasts very little as it enters the heart of the essence - a completely different fruity accord brings clarity to the middle. I've read somewhere that juicy passion fruit is present, and ripe pulp is what I get. Now, with the vodka tinge, this has that boozy twist, perfect for nightlife. The pungent ginger root sprouts fiercely and envelops the juiciness of the green apple slices. At this stage, the scent is like a Vodka Lemon long drink, with lime, ginger, and apple slices on top of the glass. Discover the world of Carolina Herrera Fragrances on Fragrantica, and let yourself be captivated by the enchanting scents, intriguing stories, and the magic that is Carolina Herrera. the fragrance I give a clear 9.5, because I like the berry sweetness with the vodka very much. The only thing that bothers me a little is the monotonous scent progression. In addition, I know no other fragrance that smells so similar, but maybe the community can tell me more about it :). Once upon a time, in the glamorous world of fashion, there was a brand that captured the hearts and minds of stylish women and men across the globe. A brand that came to represent the epitome of sophistication and elegance. That brand was Carolina Herrera Fragrances.

After about 8 hours, I could still easily perceive the colleague on my skin. Therefore, there is an 8 here.

Will you be claiming the VAT back?

In 2023, the brand continued to surprise and delight with the latest fragrance launches, including Stallion Leather, 212 VIP Rosé Love NY, and CH Pasión for Her and Him. Each new addition carries forward the legacy of Carolina Herrera, a name synonymous with style, grace, and timeless beauty. This stuff projects like crazy. A few sprays are enough to make it clear. I also derive superb longevity from it. 212 VIP is a cold-weather performer, in my opinion. I prefer it during the autumn and winter season. It's not so much a casual fragrance, since they designed it for clubs and is great for nightlife. But if you take it easy and don't worry about its drunkenness as an intrinsic part of its elements, it could be a great office scent. Ultimately, 212 VIP Men is very often compared to 1 Million Eau de Toilette because of their rather similar vibe, but I think these two are more different than most people would think. Instead, now that I own this sample and can compare it to #Tobacco Collection - Intense/Dark/Exclusive, I can say that they are surprisingly similar to each other. As the brand CH was still relatively unknown to me, but many positive opinions about this 212 VIP could take, I decided for a blind buy. in the drydown then came the alcohol, which for me the whole thing to a vodka Berentzen with a shot of apple complete.

From the classic 212 Men, launched in 1999, to the captivating Good Girl, introduced in 2016, each fragrance in the Carolina Herrera lineup has its own unique story and identity. Drawing inspiration from various sources, including the vibrant city of New York, the fragrances embody the allure, confidence, and modernity of today's men and women.I may not have paid enough attention, but I think 212 VIP Men is criminally underestimated, at least as far as I am concerned. Although I knew the Carolina Herrera brand, had used the splendid Herrera for Men Eau de Toilette in the 90s and got uncountable compliments, I had never tried this fragrance. Recently, I received a sample of this perfume, which looks just good for me based on the notes and description of the cologne.
