Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 212 VIP EDP
This party-starter is a polarising blend of boozy rum, sweet vanilla, and tropical fruit. Some love its sexy, playful vibe, while others find it overpowering or even cheap. It's a scent that demands attention, for better or worse.

Our Verdict - No.099 212 VIP EDP
No.099 dupes Carolina Herrera 212 VIP, the fizzy champagne-and-passion-fruit oriental over sweet musk and vanilla. Eden's version captures the sparkly, sweet opening but the musk-vanilla base thins out faster, giving noticeably less of the original's warm, party-ready staying power.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Date

The strong rum and sweet accords, coupled with its 'party girl' reputation and a tendency to be overpowering, make it unsuitable for office or sport. Its sexy and luxurious feel, with good longevity mentioned by many, suits dates and nights out, while being a bit much for everyday casual wear or formal events.
