Carolina Herrera 212 VIP Black Eau de Parfum Donna 200ml — Eau de Parfum

I did not purchase this, it was just one of those weird situations when you place an order for something and you receive something else instead. In my case, the order arrived on time and complete, but it had this little bottle which was not on the shipping manifest or in my order, so I think either the clerk messed up or someone has found a novel way of getting rid of unwanted inventory. To me this is a unisex fragrance, and not a memorable one at that. While I enjoy musks and white florals, these smell a bit too artificial and cloyingly sweet. The dry down reminds me of this woman I used to work with, who thought that she could successfully hide the stench of cigarettes and hours of gossip in the smoking corner by dabbing herself in lily of the valley essential oils. Not a pleasant memory. The lasting power is amazing, though, if you like this scent. Personally, I find it a bit cheap and obvious.

This one is not for me at all. The hints of vanilla overpower the fragrance and I am not a vanilla fan except in a pie. Will not order this one again.

So disappointed about the product, bought it couple days ago, I tried it yesterday it won’t last more than 30mn.

Easily one of my favorites. It, to me, feels like a good modern day grown man style while still holding a vibe of the early 2000s fragrances we loved as teenagers (you're around my age). It's projection is really nice and it's lifespan is great

212 VIP - my new favorite! "Sensual" is the right description for this perfume. It was a blind buy (because I like Tonka beans note ), I have never tried Carolina Herrera products before. The price was more than affordable. So I ordered a 0,68 oz tester and now I'm happy! It lasts long on me.
