Divain 212 VIP Men is an Eau de Parfum. 212 VIP Men opens with Lime, Ginger, and Passionfruit, settles into a heart of Vodka and Mint, and dries down to a base of Woody, Leather, and Amber. Divain's 212 VIP Men carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This is Divain's take on Carolina Herrera's 212 VIP Men, the party-fragrance follow-up built around a boozy, minty accord. The passionfruit-mint-leather idea is recognisable, but the dupe's cold, metallic gin-and-tonic facet that gives 212 VIP Men its signature chill is muted here, leaving a warmer, more generic amber-woody result.

About

This dupe opens with a punchy, citrusy blast where lime and passion fruit collide with ginger, before settling into a boozy, minty heart meant to evoke a vodka-and-mint cocktail - the conceptual hook behind 212 VIP Men. The base brings leather, amber and generic woody notes for a warm, lingering finish. The fruity-boozy opening idea comes through, but the icy, metallic freshness that makes the original so distinctive is softened considerably, so this reads as a warmer, more conventional evening scent rather than the original's electric nightlife signature. High intensity, solid longevity.
