As the weather warms up around this time of year here in Australia, I find myself on a search for some summer frags. This search as led me to 212 VIP Party Fever.
I mainly detect apple, ginger, citrus, cannabis and tonka. I also get hints of the original 212 VIP. It’s not overly sweet, definitely fresh and would be good in warmer weather. It also reminds me the slightest of Invictus but mainly the fresh notes, not the sweetness.
Sillage is not bad, probably an arms length and longevity around 4-6 hours. It’s not a bad scent but I don’t love it. Really nice bottle though!
Ratings
Sillage: 7.1/10
Longevity: 7.2/10
Scent: 7/10

This stuff reminds me of Rasasi Hawas.
It has that modern, mass appealing, young, athletic, scent DNA which frags like Hawas, Invictus and the like use.
The best way I can describe this is Hawas/Invictus with an added dimension.
This smells better than aforementioned, in my opinion. The added element makes a big difference. I believe the added bonus is the canabis.
If I smell really, really hard, I believe I can get a faint hint of the cannabis. If we’re talking strength of the cannabis on a scale of 1 to 10, I would say its a 1/10. Its a very faint smell of cannabis. Its hard to tell if its there, but I am certain it is. Just the slightest hint.
The red apple is the most noticeable, followed by the citruses mixed with the slightest cannabis note. This make a wonderful combination…..Hawas, but better.
The ginger is noticeable, but not loud. The tonka is just there to round out the rough edges while the cedar is the base of the dry down to turn this puppy masculine.
OVERALL:
I get a mixture of red apple, citrus, cannabis, ginger, tonka and cedar.
I am telling you, this is Rasasi Hawas with an added touch. It makes it better than Hawas.
P.S. – The box and bottle are AWESOME! Truly a “party” like presentation. Its a fun bottle to have if you’re into that kind of thing. Super high quality glass bottle with a magnetic cap. Its shiny, colorful and heavy.

Smells cheap.
But considering the target market, the branding and the appeal of the Bottle and the desperation to look “cool” is a good thing to filter the douches at parties.
Smells like that onion b.o mixed with regular 212 vip in a mildly drunk person in their 20’s. A very try-hard scent.
Some people might like it. Not for me.
CH signature note works very badly in this one.
Good if you collect bottles though.

Girlfriend surprised me with a bottle from NY this morning.
It’s the syrup of the original 212 VIP without the vodka notes, additional apple, some of the sweetness similar to Rasasi Hawas or Invictus but with a fresh ozonic citrus vibe. Apple and muck of Mont Blanc Legend Intense….
Ground breaking? No.
Canibus notes? I can’t detect any in 90 degree weather.
Long lasting? Yes – going strong after 6 hours so I can see this topping 8 easily.
Great release and a step up from the previous Carolina Herrera Surf and Summer bottles.
Update: I just detected a hint… Very slight hint of a smokey note like Aventus. Interesting.

Am not sure about cannabis, i cant smell it here. They think it could make the perfume bestseller if to put cannabis,sperm or somethink else.Good bottle but not extraordinary scent

Ok.. The bottle is really nice. I agree that is a lighter version of 212 VIP MEN, but for the first minutes (maybe 30) starts with a nice citrus smell, after this time the presence of the 212 VIP MEN is there. Have a good longevity! I really like but at least in my country is more expensive than the 212 VIP MEN. So.. i don´t know if i go to buy it again.

This is a nice youthful warm weather scent with the original Carolina Herrera 212 VIP Men DNA and the addition of some extra citruses and strong red apple. I do not get the cannabis note.
Dominant notes are red apple, citruses and the original DNA of CH 212 VIP men at the background.
Performance is very good. Long lasting with moderate sillage. This is not a bad smell, it’s not for me though, I’ve smelt this before in many cheap mens fragrances.
If you like the Carolina Herrera 212 VIP Men give it a try. It’s a summery edition of that.

Lighter version of VIP 212 🙂

this falls in line with other 2017/18 releases. Coach for men, acqua di gio absolu, invictus aqua – all have similar vibes. out of all of them, this is my favorite. while it’s similar – and trendy – it’s the most pleasing to me. The bottle is nice and has a magnetic cap. I get around 4-5 hours on this one until it becomes a skin scent. overall im very pleased with this one. while not unique, it seems to do it better than the others.
edit – i just realized it says “smoky” in the main accords. no…not at all smoky. not even a little…

Cannabis, a plant, is a no no to you, but civet and castoreum, pretty much rodent balls is ok…8/

Tried it in Budapest Airport. The bottle looks cool but the scent is pretty synthetic, sweet fresh and underwhelming. . It follows well the character of 212 Vip Black, but made exclusively for summer. I think it could make a decent summer clubbing fragrance for those that love the scent.
Deni2908 – :
It has been released already in Portugal.
The minute I saw the bottle in a online store I knew I had to try it right away.
I have always been a fan of the 212 line, with the 212 VIP being my favourite of all.
This one is a pure summer fragrance. Not only does the bottle makes you think of a hot summer day, the scent is actually really fresh.
You can detect the ginger and the cannabis right after the first spray. It may be impulsive but I already got a bottle.
Can’t wait for the hot weather to use it!
