Carolina Herrera 212 VIP Men Eau de Toilette 200ml is a confident, party-coded oriental-woody men's fragrance launched in 2011 — composed by Emilie Coppermann and Lucas Sieuzac. The composition pairs an exotic-fruity opening of passionfruit, lime, pepper and ginger with a heart of vodka, gin, mint and spices, settling into a warm base of amber, leather and woods. The 200ml format is the largest of the line's bottles — a generous flacon for daily home use.
About Carolina Herrera

The story behind 212 VIP Men
212 VIP Men was conceived around the energy of a New York after-hours party — fruit and citrus at the start, cocktails at the heart, leather and amber as the night winds down. The composition's vodka-and-gin accord at the heart is a clear reference to the cocktail-bar setting, while the leather-and-amber base gives the fragrance grown-up depth. The bottle takes a sleek, slightly clubby silhouette in a deep midnight finish.
Who it's for
212 VIP Men suits men drawn to oriental-woody men's fragrances with a cocktail-coded, evening-out attitude — wearers of fragrances like Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit de l'Homme, Jean Paul Gaultier Le Mâle Le Parfum, or Hugo Boss The Scent. Best in autumn and winter, ideal for evening, parties and date contexts.
How to wear it
- Spray onto pulse points — chest, sides of the neck, inside of the wrists — from around 15cm.
