212 VIP Black Extra

Okay so this is my first review in a while. The reason for that is about two weeks ago I contracted COVID! Luckily everything is ok, but I experienced something I had no idea was so severe with COVID, the complete and utter loss of taste and smell. I'd heard that it happened but I had absolutely no idea how severe and awful it was to experience this!!! Especially as a fragrance enthusiast. I found myself longing for fragrances in my collection that I couldn't even get a wiff of up close. Only 3 fragrances in my collection were strong enough to smell, MFK OUD EXTRAIT, MFK OUD SATIN MOOD, and Dior H'omme Parfum. Out of those Oud Satin Mood is definitely the strongest. But despite me having a pretty large collection, I really only found myself missing two fragrances specifically. One was Oud Satin Mood, once again. This is the other one. There's just something about the cola note in this fragrance along with the lavender they use, and the other hodgepodge of synthetic notes, that makes this fragrance very, VERY hard to dislike. It's super synthetic like I said, but damn it smells good. If I were to wager a guess at how Paco Rabanne's new fragrance Phantom smelled it would be something close to this one. I'm sure it won't be long before I do smell it, but it's the synthetic nature of this fragrance that makes me feel that way. However it's that same synthetic nature that caused me to miss this smell more than many other more expensive, much more natural smelling fragrances in my collection. So, whatever works I guess. Even avid fragrance collectors should smell this at least once. I've yet to come across anything else quite like it, and I thoroughly enjoy it. I have a bottle of the original version on the way now, but I also ordered another one of these as I've already gone through the first 100ml bottle of it and in less than 9 months too! They are saying it is a limited edition, if so you better get it while you can.

I love this fragrance. It's a leathery Coca-Cola with rum and spices. It just works on clubs and casual dates scenarios. Not too sweet, not too spicy, a little bit powdery of the cocoa, just the right amount of everything, that's why I love it. A good 8-10 hours of longevity and a good moderate sillage. The quality of the ingredients are good for the price. It's a mass appealing easy to like fragrance, just works well but quite unique bc of the Coca-Cola leather combination. I really would buy a couple of backup bottles but nowadays it's very hard to find online so, if you find this in your local store buy it. 8.9/10

That cola note is mouth watering!

I was very excited to receive this perfume, but after trying it I was very disappointed, call me crazy, but I really don't feel the difference between this perfume and the normal VIP black, for a second I thought that I had been sold a fake perfume, after reviewing well I realized that is not the case, is just how this extra VIP is. If you already own the VIP black, it really is not at all necessary that you buy this.

Almost the same as 212 vip party. But with and additional slightly note of coca cola.
