CCXII Special For Men

Perfume Parlour CCXII Special For Men is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011. CCXII Special For Men opens with Lime, Pepper, Ginger, and Caviar, settles into a heart of Mint and Spicy, 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.
