Carolina Herrera 212 VIP is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010, created by Alberto Morillas. 212 VIP opens with Passionfruit and Rum, settles into a heart of Musk and Gardenia, and dries down to a base of Vanilla and Tonka Bean. Carolina Herrera's 212 VIP carries an Acquired verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

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.

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.

About

Imagine a sophisticated cocktail, bursting with the exotic sweetness of passionfruit and a generous splash of rich rum. This intoxicating opener mellows into a heart of creamy gardenia and a soft, lingering musk, before settling onto a warm, sensual bed of vanilla and tonka bean. It's a journey from vibrant boozy fruit to a comforting, sweet embrace.
