212 VIP Black NY Rodeo

Definitely a more mature version of the original. Removed the boring vanilla note that every modern designer has these days, and added a subtle leather note that makes it more interesting, and at the same time, retains the OG DNA in the background. Moderate projection and excellent longevity. Don’t necessarily love it, but much better than the new Elixir.

it presents a more restrained, aromatic interpretation of the original 212 VIP Black DNA. By replacing the intense sweetness of the pillar fragrance with top notes of wild lavender and rosemary, the scent achieves a cleaner, more herbal profile.

212 with smoky woody leather and old school lavender. It’s a fine mature nocturnal scent, sure. But i don’t see how anyone would look for this scent

It's basically 212 VIP BLACK. I don't like that fragrance neither this one. Super sweet juvenile scent.

212 VIP Black NY Rodeo by Carolina Herrera is an aromatic and leathery fragrance. From the very first spritz, the leather scent is prominent. It retains the DNA of the 212 VIP Black line, but is less sweet and slightly more aromatic. As time passes, the aroma softens a bit, but only slightly, as the leathery accord mellows, and some aromatic elements, along with a very subtle touch of vetiver, become more prominent. Despite the leather accord, I find the fragrance suitable for three seasons: spring, autumn, and winter. It can be worn during the day but is more suited to evenings, the office, or as a signature scent. Its longevity has been good, lasting up to 10 hours with a moderate and noticeable sillage. This version of 212 VIP Black departs from the aromatic sweetness of other fragrances in this line, giving it a more mature feel. At times, it reminded me of Tom Ford's Ombre Leather. It's not a fragrance to buy blind, so I invite you to try it and form your own opinion.
