Carolina Herrera 212 VIP Eau de Parfum spray 80 ml

Product Information

Passionfruit only appears in the top notes to add extra zest, but even that doesn't do a very good job at lifting the fragrance up. Sweet notes of vanilla are constant and alive throughout and will leave you feeling warm and festive, whatever the weather.

Projection is OK but lasts a long time and fades to a sweet passion fruit note with touches of lovely gardenia. We do not represent our products to be from the original designer brand nor do we represent them to be exact copies and therefore we do not violate any copyright/trademark laws. However, within minutes that sharp alcohol note calms down to a warm soothing rum scent, with a soft floral note, and slightly nutty smelling undertones, until the sweet vanilla-tonka composition emerges to the forefront. a friend of mine told me: if you stay together with me wearing this parfum, I'll kiss you and I'll hold you. It is a perfume with a very stable intensity, (does not have a nothing complex structure, clear is) sweet vanilla in large proportion, with a touch of praline and a hint of floral tone.To be fair, during dry down vanilla is the only note that remains distintive, but it is the non-foody kind,so don't expect a creamy vanilla. Would highly recommend the service from fragrance direct and items such as this set was exceptional value compared to. After each break I like it even more :) it stays for hours on skin and for days on the clothes, it’s a very good frag for outdoor parties, but it is also indoor-safe.

I smell the 212 VIP DNA in common with both of these, they are slightly different but lean in different directions with about a 20% difference as this dries down.Its sweet, rich and dark, not for all palates, not for the ones that like light florals or fresh fruits. There is a yellow vibe to this, I can see why they would have picked that color to introduce this fragrance. I am now spraying it before bed, on weekends, enjoying the rum, enjoying the perfumey but comforting and youthfull/sexy sillage.

The vanilla here only serves to add flavour and creaminess to the rum, and offers no vanilla extract-type of excellence to the composition. On clothes the floral note seems to come through and it sits beautifully there to no avail because it has little to no sillage on fabric.

I think it's too strong and too present for partying, but it's definitely suitable for 'special occasions'.This smells a lot like Lancome Hypnose, but where Hypnose is the introvert one, 212 VIP is definitely extravert and outgoing. A glamorous opening of Champagne Rosé is followed up with, a playfully seductive heart of Peach blossom. ok, so i got a bottle of this the other day and I absolutly love it, it's ALMOST as good as my Burberry Brit Sheer. In addition, as we give you the option to choose what best suits your needs from several sellers, you have the power to decide so you can make your purchase as you wish. The more time this is on the skin, the better this smells -- this is surprising, because I didn't think that I would like this as much as I do, till letting this settle into the skin more.

Being a bartender in the past and smelling hard liquor many nights, this is still too strong on the rum note for my liking.

I actually find the initial booziness a little overwhelming, and this is coming from a girl who adores a strong rum note. Had I been the perfumer, I would have added some patchouli and sandalwood to create a darker, richer blend. It’s sweet, sexy, and warm – a very attractive scent that lasts a long time and is wearable both day and night. I can immagine people getting a headache because of this perfume since it's very sweet and very strong.
