Carolina Herrera 212 VIP Pills is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Alberto Morillas. 212 VIP Pills 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 Pills carries an Acquired verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

This frankly baffling release is less about the scent and more about the deeply questionable bottle design. If you can get past the pill form factor, you'll find a lively, if synthetic, fruity-boozy vanilla that won't blow anyone away.

Built on vanilla, musky and sweet - a composition that sits best in spring, autumn and winter.

Its sweet and fruity nature makes it suitable for casual wear, though its limited projection means it's best appreciated up close. It's not strong enough for formal events and certainly not for the office due to its playful, boozy opening.

About

212 VIP Pills opens with a swift hit of bright passionfruit and a boozy rum note before quickly settling into a creamy, sweet heart of gardenia and musk. The dry down is a soft, powdery vanilla, bolstered by the warmth of tonka bean, leaving a pleasant but understated sweetness on the skin.
