About This Perfume
Think anise-laced lavender powder on soft leather: that is Carolina Herrera 212 VIP Black. It opens with absinth, moves into lavender and leather and settles on musk and vanilla. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is a daytime scent. A good pick for casual days. Released in 2017.
In the community's experience it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something spicy and aromatic for casual days.
- Sample first if: aromatic is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike vanilla fragrances.
Around $142.
