Carolina Herrera 212 VIP Black NY is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Juliette Karagueuzoglou and Carlos Benaïm. 212 VIP Black NY opens with Grapefruit and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Absinth and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Vetiver and Coffee. Carolina Herrera's 212 VIP Black NY carries a Favourite verdict, an aromatic-led wear.

If you're after a fresh twist on a familiar profile, this coffee-infused flanker is a solid shout, but temper expectations on performance. Don't go in expecting a gourmet coffee bomb; it's a subtle nod more than a full-on brew.

About

Opens with a lively, fresh burst where crisp grapefruit meets the spicy warmth of cardamom. This quickly mellows into an aromatic heart of clean lavender and herbaceous absinthe, providing a cool counterpoint. The base settles into a smooth, slightly earthy coffee note, expertly blended with the dry, woody depth of vetiver, creating a refined and modern scent that's more fresh than gourmand.
