Carolina Herrera 212 VIP Black Eau de Parfum is a seductive aromatic fougere that bursts open with an electrifying splash of absinthe laced with anise and fennel, then eases into a cool lavender heart before melting into black vanilla husk and soft musk. The result is a smooth, nocturnal sweetness with unmistakable club energy that feels confident, modern, and irresistibly magnetic on skin.

Story and Positioning
212 VIP Black Eau de Parfum captures the thrill of a New York night, pairing bright herbal bite with creamy vanilla warmth for a bold yet polished signature that shines on evenings out, dates, and festive seasons. It belongs to the 212 VIP line, the brand’s celebration of glamour and after-dark style. Fans of rich lavender and vanilla driven masculines such as Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Male or Versace Eros may find a similar addictive sweetness here, distinguished by the absinthe and anise twist that gives this scent its suave edge.
Bottle and Design
The bottle appears as a sleek capsule in a deep smoky black gradient with glossy shine, rounded ends, and mirrored branding. It feels weighty and secure in hand, the compact silhouette looking refined on a dresser while signaling nightlife allure.
