Description
After the female version from 2010, Carolina Herrera presents the 212 VIP masculine edition. 212 VIP Men is run by the same slogans: “Are you on the list?” and “This is a private party.” The fragrance reflects the style and attitude of the New York party elite, described as a party animal and nightlife scent, containing notes of gin and vodka. A man of this fragrance is a fun, charismatic and stylish, awakening lust and envy in others.
The oriental woody composition is created by Emilie Coppermann as an explosive cocktail of vodka, passion fruit, frozen mint, ginger, black pepper, lime caviar, leather, spices, amber and king wood.
The face of the campaign is Jon Kortajarena. The fragrance is available as 50 and 100 ml EDT with 75 ml deodorant and 100 ml after shave lotion.
212 VIP Men was launched in 2011. 212 VIP Men was created by Emilie (Bevierre) Coppermann and Lucas Sieuzac.

212 VIP is a boozy and fresh scent. From the start I smell the booze from the vodka and gin, lime, mint and passionfruit. It’s sweet but not overwhelming, there’s also a bit of sourness to it. I don’t understand early comments stating this is a clone or is close to 1 Million. They smell nothing alike.
For me, the scent sits close to the skin with low/medium projection. Longevity is about 4-5 hours for me before I reapply.

Very good one. Find it generic and different from the 212 nyc.i find it more versatile and stronger though. Probably performance is better and with moderate sillage. Overall i give it 7.5/10
fedia2010 – :
Never more than 3 sprays on this beast. If you spray more than 4 and you get pulled over by cops and once you roll down your car window and they smell that strong sweet vodka. I am sure that they will ask you if you have alcohol in your car, if you have been drinking and how much and if you answer “no” to any of their questions. They will probably wouldn’t believe you and will make you get out of your car and do a sobriety test and this is not a joke, it really does have a strong fruity vodka vibe. Imagine doing a sobriety test, because you sprayed too much 212 VIP, that would be really a funny experience. Be gentle on the trigger guys, unless you want to spend your night in a drunk tank. (The getting pulled over by cops and doing sobriety test is just a joke, but this one being a beast is not a joke.)
Not for office or first dates, your boss and your date will think that you’re alcoholic. Club scent only, guys.

Sillage and longevity of this one are awesome. Smells very good too. Compare this with PR 1 Million is unfair…
vovchik0878 – :
I prefer this over Original One Million PR. Just dont over spray and 3 spray is max. Because it speaking louder that anyone else. Make people around you get chocked. Longevity totally great and dont even ask about projection. Totally beast. Glad to have it in my collection.
Intonsspore – :
very sweet, playfull and youthfull fragrance. A cross between ultra male and invictus aqua. citrus, fruity, sweet ideal for going out on warm nights and has very good performance.
dmitrisuvorov – :
I have a large collection, and am in the process of thinning out designer scents I’m not a fan of to make space for Tauers, Nassomattos, Amouages, etc.
However, this is making it in. Holy crap. It reminds me of the modern, high class, young men at exclusive bars in NYC. Pompadours, blazers, cocktails on the rocks. This fragrance has elements of booze, zest, spice and salt. Excellent, a must try.
sergeiksp – :
Macho Man fragrance . I like this one very much
Mrfaust – :
there are very few scents I find repulsive – this is, unfortunately, one of them…maybe the caviar as an ingredient sounds “posh” to someone as well as the name “VIP” but the result is nasty and tasteless (just my opinion, I guess it may smell nice on someone else)

jphan – :
Love at first sniff. Wife approved
qwzx13 – :
Maybe my nose is a strange one, BUT i get none of that booziness. Just a mature woody scent, akin to wooden tambark chips; which is most likely redwood or oak..maybe sequoia. Although I haven’t reached for much lately, this one is very good for most any season or occasion. Needs further test and update for longevity..
I must add, this is 10x better than the Black version..which basically turns to Invictus crap on me. Can sorta tell by sniffing the nozzle. Shame i splurged and got a big one of the Black, drawn by curiosity to peep the cardamom..not even there. For me, a well-done cardamom can close the deal, (i.e. Cartier un Soir, Blvgari MIB EDP)
The woody note in the original make THIS a keeper and Black avoidable although i’m sure it’s still got it’s following. Longevity is great..i still smell upon awakening.
9/10
igningRit – :
Sorry…this could be hands down one of the greatest scents I’ve known. Incredible smell, however I have to use at least 8 sprays for a couple of hours. With no projection, close to skin. A real shame!
Annet2 – :
for younger men who loves to go clubbing. not for day to day use unless you’d want to smell alcoholic.
_axel_ – :
Way too sweet for me. Like a pure syrupy sugar sweet, yuck. Even Invictus and 1 Million are tolerable in comparison.
GOGA4018 – :
Great nighttime/club scent. The opening isn’t bad, but little bit weird… I get huge dosage of synthetic bubble gum swetness with a bit passionfruit and lime. After the first sniff I thought, right, here is another bubble gum teenage fragrance, but fortunately 10 minutes later this sweetness fades away and I get a wonderful spicy vodka odor. This part of the perfume is really great and so strong! 2-3 hours later, when the mid notes gone I sniff a cool combination of leather, amber and woodsy (mostly rosewood) notes. Except for the first 10 minutes, this perfume is very very good. Highly recommended.
– fall/winter, nighttime scent, typical club wear, not too versatile.
– sillage is great, longevity is amazing, 10+ hours on skin
– safe blind buy (maybe)

Like many others, I fell appart of the hype train of this fragrance but it doesn’t mean that it’s a bad fragrance…let me explains.
First, it started with a blast of boozy passion fruit with the smell of cheap minty vodka (nothing wrong). Then, it stays pretty linear with the pepper, ginger and the leather in the background. I understand why it is compared to One million with the bubble gum sweetness vibe, but 1M is more spicy with the cinnamon.
longevity 8 to 10 hours
occasion: clubbing yeah, dates ….no, office no unless you are the CEO but I still don’t recommend
Fall & winter, so not very versatile
good projection
so overall 7/10 (versatility kill that fragrance)
A mature One million…YES
x-set555 – :
This was my favourite scent back in 2013. Affordable price, good projection, however longetivity and sillage just average.
In my opinion 212 VIP is quite sweet scent in the drydown, definitely for younger crowd. I liked it very much, however there is big similarity to 1 million and all people around me thought I am wearing 1 Million… I don´t have anything against it, on the other hand I don´t want to smell like every second kid in the city, so I haven´t purchased it agian.
castertroy – :
i just purchased 212 vip and my box is silver
there are also black boxes
can anyone tell me if there is a possibility of reformulation ?
Irina1985 – :
I’ve gotten compliments. It does become a skin scent after around 2 hours.
leonchik95 – :
This is a fragrance of CONFIDENCE.If you are trying to boost up your confidence and attract the most of the girls attention BUY IT.
Мистер Твистер – :
Sweet and loud clubbing juice. As the girls below continue to report, ladies love this alcoholic tonic cocktail tornado……
8+ hours. A boosy 1 Million without the cinnamon, splashed with thick tropical nectar. Vodka, passion fruit, gin.
Synthetic…. Sure. But fun and unapologetic.
Bottle does not show remaining juice, but magnetic cap and heavy feel adds a nice touch.
AspellVeX – :
This Frag Is so overrated, Its not loud at all you could barely smell it, I checked my batch code its a 2015 code I dont know if maybe the Frag was reformulated,its more of a Skin Scent and Cuddle Frag than a club scent, I Regret my purchase of this and it was due to all the Positive reviews about the frag, I’m sorry Carolina I’ll stick to A Men for all time, and I’m Sorry why I Cheated on Amen pure Tonka over 212, I wont buy any other Frag out of line from the Mugler Fam. from today I’m a Mugler Fam Member forever and every Gourmand release from Mugler I’l purchase without even checking the reviews or ratings.
animevolk – :
After reading a bunch of reviews and watching a few vids on VIP men, I decided to go ahead and blind buy it. The bottle is pretty cool too. As for the scent I definitely dig it. I can see the whole club vibe with this one but in all honestly it’s not really a loud cologne like say one million. Even though it doesn’t smell like 1 million i kinda see it in the same vein as it. But I wouldn’t just wear this in a club or bar scene. I can see it’s use in other places as long as the temp is cool. Not an office or maybe work scent though. .. Hmmm. Maybe with 1-2 sprays *shrugs* . It’s definitely a evening scent but can see use of it later in the afternoon. I haven’t tested it out in high heat to see if it can be cloying or not. Anyways as I was smelling my wrist through out a few hours, it started to smell real familiar to me.. I just couldn’t put my finger on it because it was a scent i haven’t smelled since I tested it years ago. Then it hit me.. Givenchy Play Intense! Just not as sweet. It’s especially more apparent during the dry down for me. Overall though I think it’s a pretty good fragrance.
LesterJY – :
First time I smelled 212 VIP was on a card, and really liked the dry-down. I liked it so much that I decided to get a bottle. To me, VIP smells way better than the original CH 212 Men. It’s fresh, boozy goodness.
It definitely sticks to me for at least half a day. Good projection for 3-4hrs.
The vibe I get from this is: young, has money, and all about the nightlife. I disagree that this smells like Paco Rabanne’s One Million, because I really don’t like One Million. Some folks tell me it smells somewhat feminine, but I don’t get that perfume vibe.
I kind of get why some people don’t like 212 VIP, it has a few notes that make it a odd scent. I become anosmic to the good notes after a bit, so I realize this. I can’t tell what they are, but if it didn’t have them this would be an ideal fragrance. On the plus side, you’ll still smell good to others. Great for outings, wouldn’t recommend for intimate encounters.
extetharD – :
AS A WOMAN, I can say that this is one of the best scents for men.It turns me on.I can see a strong, passionate, classy, confident man wearing it.He knows what he wants, he knows how to get it.It has a one million vibe, but the citrus in this is more noticeable (I’m all about citrus).I can feel kind of sporty vibe, which makes it wearable outside the office.Perfectly balanced, fits any situation.Whoever said that it doesn’t last long probably get used to it real quick or had bad one.

Bazilio89 – :
Love the magnetic cap. The scent itself is pretty unassuming and doesn’t scream and shout too much, but I do tend to like fragrances with alcoholic notes contained in them. I have to agree that this fragrance only lasts around 3 or 4 hours on my skin and as I have mentioned already, there is not a huge amount of sillage. Bearing all this in mind, I still really like this. Thumbs up!
Lerikk_07 – :
212 VIP Men is a heady cocktail of vodka, passion fruit, gin, and mint, all tempered with pepper and spices with a hint of lime and ginger. Quite a complex fragrance.
Some reviews below have called this a Paco Rabanne One Million clone, but I don’t see it. It’s got a similar nightlife/partying vibe to it, but it’s very restrained. While it’s perfect for a night out, it’s not an in-your-face sort of fragrance.
The only negatives for me are the limited longevity and sillage. I get average longevity of around 3 hours, with moderate sillage.
knkn – :
Just one spray on the wrist from a sample… to me it smells like a Cranberry Cocktail in a room filled with jello shots… i’d wear it – maybe once. I have ruled this out for a possible purchase…
*** I went to a CH store and tried the regular CH Men. I only sprayed on a card but I think it has a similar vibe but mixed much better than the VIP stuff. I didn’t care for Privee either but the CH Men is one that I may consider, a much better alternative to 212 VIP IMHO
Janibekvip – :
Can’t say I’m too overly enthusiastic about this one. It’s a nice smell, quite sweet and playful… but not masculine. This is a feminine scent. If you have tried Flowerbomb by Victor and Rolf? It is similar.

Parfume for night. Very creamy sweet. Unique…
Parfume my signature secondery. Because number one is 212 men.
vista2074 – :
Very special fragrance & very long lasting. Flowers all over the place with the first spray, after that very intense vodka or something like that. Pleasant though.
I sprayed once on my cross by mistake that I wear on my chest and the perfume stayed there over a week.
Great blind buy for younger men I believe
acousticianss – :
BEAST!!! Enough Said.
hostingfa – :
Geez I remember when this was beastly. I guess from reading here the reformulation destroyed it. What a shame. I liked it better than one million at that time it certainly was a clone but the vodka note made it stick out. At the time, a masterpiece
ida22 – :
This is a sweet, candy-like fragrance that fits the clubbing scene the best (wouldn’t try wearing it anywhere else). What I get is a lot of passion fruit with a hint of pepper. Interestingly, I can’t sense any of the alcohol notes – vodka and gin. Anyway, it a bubblegummy club fragrance that does not stand out in any way, the performance is quite weak and does not last on my skin at all. I would pass on this one and get something better for parties, maybe Ultra Male or Eros.
Timoha1009 – :
For me it’s a “candy shop” type of smell and in that it resembles Joop Jump! a lot. It’s very cheerful and “festive”, making you smile and feel good. Impressive longevity.
romanru – :
Nice smell, but my sample from sephora last weakly 3 hours and as a skin scent. Why? Every one says that last long
antedogongida – :
I must be missing something. This is not different or unique in any way. Boring as hell. Smells like a thousand other scents. Same old fresh ozonic metallic garbage. Pass.
Meuen061InsuffBooni – :
This is fragrance makes you smell wealthy becouse the smell is so unique. the longevity is 24hrs plus and the sillage is very beastly this frag can fill the room anywhere you go. overall the best rich fragrances.
maks2209 – :
In the time I have been testing and wearing perfumes, this remains the only one I have gotten a compliment of, in a conservative country like mine where compliments on perfumes alone are hard to come by, this is quite a huge achievement. The scent itself doesn’t grow on me though, I just cannot bring myself to get past the passionfruit. Otherwise, it must have been quite an appealing scent.
kasanin69 – :
i have this but it my least worn fragrance.. just the opening and the scent I cannot get into.. totally not for me.
bold62 – :
At opening a great mojito vibe and in dry down gorgeous vanilla with white chocolate. There is a synthetic feel from some notes but it smells great. I want to dislike this fragrance as it super popular and i smell it some time from others.. but this is an excellent juice with gourmandish qualities. Excellent projection and longevity.
forest2082 – :
I’ve been waiting for quite a while to try out this fragrance but none of my local retailers had it for testing. I was excited to try it out because the note breakdown really interested me. When I finally saw a tester bottle and sprayed it on my skin, I was quite disappointed. In a nutshell, it smells like if you took all the heart and soul out of Paco Rabanne’s One Million, you’d get 212 VIP. Big thumbs down.
tormster – :
This fragrance became a watered down version of it’s former glorious self. Bought mine last week. Sprayed it on my wrist and noticed how weak this frag has become. Though it stays for quite a while, it doesn’t project that well as it did the last time I used it. So much for that. Anyways it’s still a good fragrance.
Abram126 – :
I have taken a sample of this frag from my local sephora. The scent is very nice but is extremly weak.. I have to press my nose on my skin in ordersd to smell it. Why this? Everyone says that this frag is strong… I cant understand
sneke – :
Not as “bombing” as I heard it to be, at least on my skin.
Very nice fragrance anyway, it indeed resembles One Million, but in a more confortable and and soft way.
ippon2011 – :
Got this for my brother blindly and I absolutely love it. Great going out/club fragrance. Much Classier than 1 million.
Jackie89 – :
One spray on my wrist at midday amd at 8.30pm its still there.impressed with it.has a one million vibe but much better and more mature.Very nice sour note in there contrasting with the sweetness.
kamazas – :
I did not notice vodka or leather and was surprised when I read the note list. To me it’s mainly a smooth slightly sweet aquatic with a bit of spice. I love it and were it not for my terror of appearing butch I’d wear it myself. Like most masculine fragrances I’ve tried it’s surprised me with it’s strength and adhesive qualities. I wash my hands.. and it’s still there! How do they do that? Only a few of my women’s perfumes last the day and washing would certainly get rid of them. I would’ve avoided this if I’d read the note list first. Caviar? Seriously? I don’t detect any and my first thought on this stuff was actually oh good it’s not got the modern salt note in it, it’s not marine, just aquatic. It’s quite clean, thanks to the mint and lime I expect. Wouldn’t describe it as especially “explosive” either. But then I only sprayed once lightly.
tosha_kam – :
I have to agree with many of the guys pointing out that the drydown is much better than the opening! As a matter of fact, I don’t really enjoy the opening blast at all… thank God this develops into such a nice scent after an hour or so. Sweet and warm in the nicest way.
I sense a fruity vibe accompanied by a mix of spices + mint. I don’t get the woody notes at all tbh.
Even if I’m not a huge fan of sweet scents overall, one has to recognize when a fragrance is well made and I definitely believe this is one of them! Great for clubbing, nights out, well suited to the colder months but, IMO, can be pulled off at summer/spring nights as well. It will shine at winter though.
girls love it in my experience! That’s always a very nice plus.
hankook – :
Oh wow, I wasn’t too impressed with the opening, but damn this dries down to a stunning smell – can’t stop sniffing the top of my wrist! I wore this to work after spraying it on in a store during lunch – not too suited to that environment. It’s pretty loud and feels like a great clubbing scent.
Will have to definitely seek this one out 🙂
/Edit 8th July: I’ve found a perfect clone for this. ‘Silver Men’ by Georges Mezotti
Scent: 9/10
Projection: heavy for a few hours

sk5000mmx – :
Anabol2336 – I don’t drink either and in my opinion this does not smell like Vodka! I imagine people are thinking it’s like taking a bottle of vodka and pouring it on them, but it’s just not the case in my opinion.
Saying that, I love this fragrance and is in my top 10.
DeS – :
un parfum frais épicé, boisé aromatique, animalier…

livelive – :
I see the similarity with Million on this one particularly with the offensive synthetic blast it gives off. And seriously folks, let’s replace vodka with rubbing alcohol as a main ingredient lol. Blind bought for $70 Canadian, and there’s no way I can be wearing this Cologne. It’s a shame. Headache in a bottle. The bottle is beautiful though.
gubernator – :
Sensational! 212 VIP Men Carolina Herrera is a male sweet scent very easy to go to the top 10 of any underwear that prizes for good contemporary flavors. Besides having a sweetness behaved it stands out because of an Oriental background with alcoholics touches that come and go around the wearer forming a nice cloud referring to well-plated man smell, well dressed and polite. Its opening has a delicious citrus for a minute give the answer that volatizará fragrance and not the result of anything, however, the Caviar is emerging and joining a face skin cream smell, due to the Passiflora (flower passion fruit), responsible for this aromatic sensation, besides being means ardidazinha its output, means spicy, delicious! Then it evolves into a warm Oriental, male and drunk projecting enough, and passing a feeling of confidence by the presence that comes to impose at this stage, which also makes aromatic due to the chilled and live Hortelãzinha. It follows following and reaches at its base a divine sweet aroma because of the Amber giving a federal heated it, along with a note reminiscent of the leather jacket in a slightly damp woody base. A daydream farewell, at least for me, the attachment exceeds 16 h to 10 h silage and many positive compliments and questions like “what is the name of her perfume, cat ?!”. He adorns both calorzão as the mild temperatures … is very magnifies the feeling he passes, when the end of the day you have sweaty, he continues to exhale and even after the bath he joins his scent skin and spreads being a maximum joker of virility! Note 11 to 212 VIP Men Carolina Herrera!
Word of the Day: sensational… (day 91)
rspeed – :
The vodka note is very noticeable. I cant get past the astringent smell of alcohol. This reminds me of strong fruity drinks you could buy at clubs. The passion fruit is borderline cloying.
The concept of this fragrance is very cool and is executed well. Longevity and silage both above average and girls do seem to like it, but i just don’t. 5/10
рутулес – :
This scent has many others give off the same vibe but smell different. The XS Black series from Paco Rabanne and the Diesel FFL scents. These scents are long lasting,playful,energetic and youthful. 212 VIP maybe a bit more mature than the others because of the vodka and gin notes but the sweetness is acknowledged well in the dry down which mainly consists of amber. I also think it’s a step above the scents mentioned prior and appeals to a broader audience as most people over 40 are more familiar with Paco than Diesel. Excellent performance and worthy of being in any man’s collection.
voronnnnn – :
212 VIP Men by Carolina Herrera opens with an amazing burst of fruits and spices; alcohol (gin/vodka) and wood are also noticable, and sometimes I get a hint of soap in there too. It smells very nice, in small doses. If you over-do-it, the scent becomes too sharp and sweet and can be quite sickly.
I apply two sprays – hitting the chest and a wrist and I find this makes me smell fairly potent, but not obnoxiously in your face. It’s quite a safe fragrance when applied like this. Women have favourably responded to the scent – once in the supermarket; another when out in London on the street.
It’s a very cost-effective fragrance for me, as I don’t feel it appropriate to wear too often, and a little goes a long way.
It lasts long and projects very well. It is classy and has layers to it. A fun and funky fragrance overall. It’s not a mind-blowing scent, but gets a comfortable 8/10 from me.
ilnar929 – :
The ginger is very prominent in the beginning. The fragrance itself is fresh like Creed Aventus with a sharp undertone of ginger. It dries down to a slightly sweet mess of notes. Definitely better than Creed Aventus and 1 Million, even if I don’t smell any similarities.
artsafonov – :
It’s a bitter, sweet and fruity sense and smell great with very good longevity more than 12 hours but unfortunately sillage is moderate not heavy at all!

This is better than 1 Million. More seductive and elegant ! I own both and compare it day by day.
smail-1001_99 – :
head turner! , smells better than your favorite scent , maybe even better than all your fragrances matter of fact. Smell 10/10 , compliments 10/10 , people that stare you with hate 10/10 for them too and lasting 9,5/10
maz89 – :
In my top ten for sure. Ladies love this one because of the sweet factor i guess. Great scent. That passion fruit really comes out an delivers the sweetness. I get a little amber, pepper and mint in there too. Lasts all day on me. I prefer this over CH Men which i know is another crowd favorite from them.
afsusselwgm – :
I’d say I feel neutral towards this scent, but that’s not true. I just don’t particularly find it better than its equivalents- 1 Million and Halloween Man, of which it smells more like the latter. I bought this based on the reviews saying that it was like 1 Million in the sense of character, not scent. Unfortunately, I found it to smell very specifically like the late mid and drydown of 1M. Not very unique, honestly. I don’t dislike 1M, but I kind of wanted something a little more distinct and different. However, I may completely invalidate any skepticism derived from my review when I say that I got some of the most over-the-top compliments from two of my co-workers. They said what I was wearing was a head-turner, and they near demanded I wear it all the time. Wow, I never got that from 1M! I couldn’t really smell VIP on myself, however, and they commented shortly after I applied it, so I don’t know how long it lasts. I will say that I don’t really like this scent as it is not only “meh” in distinction, but also scent. When I smelled it on my wrists, it was never that good to me. Clearly, though, girls like it. Take what you will from my review.

Nice Frag From Carolina herrera house, but Do not value it a lot dis days coz everyone wears it, bt atleast nt popular as 1 million.

I cant decide at first what to buy between 212 VIP MEN or BULGARI SOIR… But i finally made up my mind and i will “Keep them both” i love the scent and the design of the bottles as well as the Packaging and the Designers Behind these 2 Sophisticated and Classic Perfumes.

I loved this perfume. Loved the bottle too.
It’s different. I really like how CH creates uniques notes.
This is great Party Colonge.
Sillage and Longevity is amazing.
The opening is great but i didn’t like the dry down that much.
Opening and middle notes are lovely.
I’d prefer 1 million over it just because of the dry down.
But Overall 5/5.

I’m a girl and took it from my dad (my mom gift er it to him but he wouldn’t touch it haha) I really like it on my skin. I feel like it translates really well and smells like a hot rebel who’s confident and doesn’t give any f*cks. Must try for girls and women

A great clubbing perfume. it has one million vibe but its way better than one million. Longevity is really good. Definitely a panty dropper.

A friend of mine has this and it smelled nice on him with pretty great performance so I decided to try it. Turns out that this gives me pretty bad allergies. It still smelled decent and the performance was good it’s just that I wish it wasn’t because the whole day I had a runny nose.

This is a fun scent to me because it makes me feels like young again. It’s safe yet not to strong. It’s good against hot weather. I recommend this to younger crowd. I don’t own a lot of 212 fragrance but this is my second one to own from CH. Great for hanging out and dinner with friends late night clubbing and bars and last pretty good.

I don’t care how sweet this is, it still needs 90 plus degrees to perform well, the cooler the weather this seems to only disappear very fast but in heat this last all day and projects ok but only when you heat up so turn the AC off for 5 minutes and boom it’s back.

I have not encountered any woman who does not like 212 VIP. I even dare to wear it at work (a large financial firm) and received several complements from my younger colleagues. It stays and projects very well on both fabric and skin. I much prefer this to 1 million.

People say it’s a 1 Million’s clone. i can see the similarities in the vibe, but whereas 1 million smells like sweet, cheap, 16 years old girl fragrance, 212 VIP smells like a sexy drunk man…jajjajaaj, ok i realise it’s a weird analogy, but if you put this one on, you will be ready for a fun night out in the club, bar, pub or wherever the night may take you.
Women absolutely love this one, and why shouldn’t they?, it is a fun, sweet, and “licorish” scent, that invites everyone around you to realise how fun you are.
But don´t get me wrong, this is not only a clubbing scent. it is strong yes, but not as strong as 1 million or A*Men. People would dfinitely smell you, but with a few sprays you would’t choke them up.
It is sweet yes, but has some sour notes that contrasts with it’s sweetness, making it more wereable outside the club….just be careful on the trigger please!
the only thing i don´t like, is this metalic note in the dry down, that annoys my nose.

Released in 2011, many think that it came in response to the success of 212 Men (now renamed to 212 Men NYC). Obviously, one thing is linked to another, but it was created to make pair with the female version, released 1 year earlier. The concept, as well as the slogans, remained the same: “Are you on the list?” and “This is a private party.”, which reflect the style and attitude of its users.
