The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016, 212 VIP MEN Pills by Carolina Herrera is a sophisticated Oriental Woody fragrance crafted by perfumers Emilie Coppermann and Lucas Sieuzac. This composition opens with the zesty freshness of passionfruit, lime, and ginger, creating an invigorating top note that transitions seamlessly into a heart of vodka, spices, and gin. The base notes feature leather, amber, and woody accords, grounding the scent with warm, animalic undertones. It is designed to evoke the essence of modern sophistication and urban chic.
Apply two sprays for a balanced wear throughout the day. The zesty top notes will fade within a couple of hours, but the warm base notes will linger on your skin, making this scent ideal for evening events or after-work gatherings.
