Perfume Parlour CCXII Special For Men is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011. CCXII Special For Men opens with Caviar, Lime, Pepper, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Spicy and Mint, and dries down to a base of Woody, Leather, and Amber. Perfume Parlour's CCXII Special For Men carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

CCXII Special clones Carolina Herrera 212 VIP Men - that cool, boozy club scent of caviar lime, frozen pepper-mint and a leathery woody-amber base. Wearers say it shares the original's DNA and often lasts even better; the dupe just leans a shade more citrusy and trades a little of the original's smooth, expensive edge.

About

CCXII Special opens cool and sharp, lime and black pepper iced with frozen mint and a fizzy lift of passionfruit and ginger, the same nightlife-ready burst that defines 212 VIP Men. A spiced, faintly boozy heart keeps that crisp gin-and-tonic vibe going before the drydown turns the corner: dry woods, soft leather and salty amber warming on the skin. As a budget clone of Carolina Herrera's 2011 club staple it captures that cool spicy-woody character convincingly - several wearers call it the same DNA with even better longevity for less money. The divergence: the dupe reads a touch more citrusy up top and the polished, salty-amber smoothness of the original is slightly coarser. Projection stays moderate, much like the original's close aura. A confident, energetic night-out scent.
