212 VIP Black
212 VIP Black by Carolina Herrera is a masculine-leaning eau de parfum from 2015 in the designer price tier. It opens with absinthe and lavender, moves into black pepper and dries down to vanilla and musk. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects very strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Absinthe Bitter wormwood and anise. Green, boozy and slightly wicked.
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
Heart
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
