212 VIP Men Wild Party

I had a feeling I would like this after hearing positive things but make no mistake it's pretty cheap and pretty nasty. The opening is a nostril stinging affair of deep peppery and pungently fruity notes, I'd say it's a kinda on the exotic side without smelling like a particular fruit. As it dries down there's definitely violet there but it's not your usual, aloof smelling or powdery violet it (maybe coupled with lime?) starts to create a synthetic sweetie (candy) vibe and actual reminds me of something from my childhood which was extreme bad for my teeth no doubt. This fragrance goes on in a hideously strong cloud of aroma chemical, messiness but actually turns out to be quite weak in terms of projection and longevity, So it's quite deceiving really. Another thing I'd mention is that 212 VIP Wild party smells quite bad on the card or test strip but really comes into it's own on my skin. The transformation and drydown are a wonderful, deeply woody smell coupled with that initial fruitiness. (which I kind liked anyway despite the negative tone of this review) I want to say this fragrance is another stupid, trying to be sexy/intense (or whatever?) flanker but the truth is, It actually has qualities I quite like. I'm not one to be sold on a bottle either but this is great and really weighty too. It has a magnetic cap and a cool scaly finish which kinda makes it look like a dragon dildo! Which is pretty gnarly. I'm not sure this stands up when compared to 212 VIP or Sexy both of which I like and have a much more nuanced composition and better longevity etc... However, something is drawing me to this fragrance as it smells better when dried down (albeit doesn't last very long) and the muddled exotic fruit mess that it is somehow, strongly appeals to me. I will probably buy it but I don't really rate or recommend it to others as a good fragrance. The fact it has only just come out and is in the bargain bin already says it all , so it's bad but I love it. :)

Listen up! ! Don't EVER let the plastic ugly bottle drag you away from the scent inside !!. If you love the dry down of the original , and into violet leaf based fragrances . Then I highly suggest you sniff that scent soon as it is a limited edition. When the scent starts it doesn't start with cheap thrills , passion ; mojito let's get drunk and lose it tonight LOL as the original VIP. It's actually starts where the original VIP ends. I mean specifically the dry down. The lovely light leathery note but this time with an absolutely well done blended violet leaf that adds up sharpness and masculinity to the scent. as the scent progress it shows up some pleasant facets of gourmand aroma that plays in the back ground. An aroma that reminds me by a cherry mixed with light tobacco that my friend used to smoke. to sum up : If the original VIP was all about fun and youthfulness. Wild party is about calculated seduction , with maturity. Lasts for 10 hours on clothes with mild projection. Cheers!!

Easily could be your signature scent, soo unique, suitable for hanging around and outdoors specially night time Performance is as the others from the 212 vip line (solid indeed) I really appreciate this line never let me down

I’m completely sure that i feel hazelnut in there!! Nice scent 8/10

#1077 in my "Tour de Fragrance" A friend gave me his four-year-old bottle of this stuff to try out. I have no idea what a "caviar" note is supposed to smell like. I've been at events and parties where caviar was served, but never indulged myself. Felt like it would be a betrayal of my blue collar roots. Anyway, this seems to have been discontinued because it's going for $250 on eBay. No EDT is worth that kind of money to me, but for an EDT this performs better than most with solid sillage and several hours longevity. The note combination seems very simplistic and yet smells very well-rounded. Pepper, lime, violet, wood, caviar. But it works really well. Reminds me of Burberry's "The Beat", which is a bit sharper, more floral than this, but similar, available and inexpensive. This comes across to me as club wear, but it's completely inoffensive so you could wear it anywhere for any purpose. I actually quite like it, like the Herrera line generally despite that even their EDPs are not great performers, and if Herrera produced an EDP of this priced the same as their other EDPs I'd own it. But I see that Ukrainian dupe house Miris has an EDP strength "impression" of this on Amazon, "No. 28947" for $23, that I'm going to order. Some of their stuff is pretty close, some not so much, so we'll see.
