Carolina Herrera 212 VIP Black Eau de Parfum 200ML for Men

Carolina Herrera 212 VIP Black Eau de Parfum 200ML for Men is an EDP from Carolina Herrera, built around an aromatic and vanilla character. It suits men and reads best after dark, and works in cooler months.

The first spray leads with absinthe, anise, fennel. That opening is what you notice in the first fifteen minutes. Underneath, lavender form the body of the scent and hold for roughly two hours — the character most people will identify it by. Finally it settles into black vanilla husk, musk, the part responsible for how long the fragrance reads on you.

On our occasion map it scores highest for Date Night, Festive. If you are buying it as your first bottle from Carolina Herrera, that is the shortlist of places it will not feel out of step.
