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.

To me this reminds me of one more discontinued gem paco rabanne one million absolutely gold without the oud and some added caviar note which gives it a ysl la nuit l’homme feel. Projection wise it’s pretty mediocre but does stays like a skin scent for long like 7-8 hours. A personal feel good or cuddling scent in my opinion

Synthetic generic boredom... It has similar vibe to Diesel Bad but little bit better. In winter its unbearable for my nose, in the summer its smells better.. I dont know why i bought it, it has no similarity to the original 212 vip men. I like the bottle thou so it will be nice for my collection. The silage is awesome, longevity for a day and a half, even in worm humid weather.. but the smell... there is some synthetic top note that lives from the beginning to the dry down and tickles unplesently my nose.. There are some qualities that i like in this fragrance but i dont think i will wear it again. edit 21.07.17 - in summer it is much nicer, the opening is juicy and enjoyable but the drydown is still very chemical sharp fruits mixed with woman makeup scent, kinda edgy and annoying. If the drydown would evolve in more soft and gentle areas it could be not so bad perfume, but in its current form the juicy opening evolves in to a vulgar drydown that kinda attacks me.

Nothing "Wild" about it. This fragrance is plain, common, and dull. The violet leaf overshadows all the other notes, wearing this cologne you feel like one in the crowd, it has nothing special about it and it relies only in the commercial strategic of Carolina Herrera about a different limited edition of 212 vip every year, just like CH. Smell: 2/10 Longevity: 5/10 Sillage: 2/10 Edit: Gave it a second chance, the fragrance didnt persist in my skin for more than 2 hours, there was practically no projection, and i came up with my final comclusion about this: Its not bad, its not good, its just dull. Anyone could use this, men, women, children, is an extremly simplistic fragrance. Pros: The bottle Cons: dont get me started. Performance: 1/10. Definetly the worse of Herrera's 212 Vip limited editions over the last 5 years. Utterly dissapointed.

When i sprayed i got a pineapple fresh juice, and some spices. Then, the freshness calms down and it gets more like a rubber pecil eraser note with some pineapple on the back. Maybe the violet leaf with the woods makes that rubber accord. I prefer the 212 vip than this, but it is a good original designer release.

After the limited editions from 2015 (212 VIP Club Edition), in 2016 the company decided to launch another duo of scents in order to continue the 212 VIP saga. Born, then, the new pair of fragrances called 212 VIP Wild Party. The concept of private parties and VIP guest list continues and, this time pays tribute to the dance nights throughout New York City. The official composition brings top notes of frozen Apple and caviar lime (as well as in other male versions of the line 212 VIP Men). In the body of the fragrance, notes of black pepper and violet leaves. In the base, an accord of gourmand-spicy wood. Again, I reinforce the need for attention with what can be read out there, because, according to some forums and e-commerce stores, this fragrance would have notes of lime and caviar, separately. And that's not true! The caviar lime fruit is the Citrus Australasica – a plant with citrus fruits of peculiar format with a fully differentiated pulp, which looks like caviar but does have a citrus flavor. It can have various colors and is also known as Finger lime. When touches the skin, the first thing you think is: "that kind of fragrance, again?". And that feeling doesn't happen by chance, since the earlier versions had the same type of construction, bringing the caviar lime mixed with some frozen accord. Luckily, this scent disappears almost immediately, giving place to the heart, which is spicier, lasts for hours and sets the evolution on skin. That makes all the difference because it shows a most intense facet of the original 212 Men VIP and ends in a woody base, while the latter ends with a sweetness of oriental content, because of the tonka bean and the amber. When I began doing tests and publishing some pictures, I was questioned about a possible resemblance to last year's version (212 VIP Men Club). Now I can say the following: in this line, the Club Edition version is the one that differs the most and, particularly, the one I like best. I think all of them have DNA links – which is a very positive point when it is about flankers – but this Wild Party version is a bit closer to the original version. If it has been called 212 VIP Men Intense would work beautifully, in the same way. And that's how I define it: a stronger version of the original, which received sober nuances because of the violet leaves and the woody base. Both projection and durability, as always, don't leave something to be desired. If reaches the collar of the shirt, it lasts until the next day! But the bottle is terrible, in my opinion. The concept of the campaign brought palm leaves in the boxes and in the video and the bottles were made under these optics. And even bringing the same finishing and the magnetic lid from the rest of the line, the detail embossed looks like scales and the black paint does not help to convey the central idea. From a distance, looks of bad quality and it's tacky. An error of no return!

One of The Most Romantic Parfums of all times. No one Knew that it will be Year 2016 tht this such Perfume would be made. The Longevity & Silage are both the Monsters. You Want to KNOW WHAT to Expect From EDP. PURCHASE THIS!You will also Learn how TOM FORD is making Public Fool by writing EDP on their TObacco VAnilla, when actually it is pathetic. Similarly DIOR HOMME EDP is PATHEIC.. WEAKEST SILLAGE.. thank you 212 VIP Men Wild Party Carolina Herrera for men for letting WORLD KNOW What A PARFUME SHOULD BE! LOVE LOVE LOVE WILD WILD WILD

Tried it today at the airport and was surprised at how long it lasted It's nothing ground breaking as far as the scent goes, but it would be nice in cold weather. My flight was 6 hours, I've had a shower and it's been 9 hours since I landed and I can still smell it on my arm

Its a very sweet, fresh and rounded fragrance... cant stop smelling.. great longevity with moderate sillage... not all fragrance must have strong sillage... its a must have in the collection really... Scent: 8/10 Longevity: 7/10 Sillage: 6/10

Tried the tester. @Bigsly your are quite right. Soft touch of pepper & a bit creamy. Nothing so special. Moderate sillage. Longevity I can not comment cause I only tried the tester.

i dont know how to describe this fragrance but i like it .. the smell is sweet and fresh at same time .. longevity seems ok .. it its unique smell and good for any weather.

The first time i smell this perfume i knew there is something unique and new in this scent! now i know its the "Caviar" note.

Pepper, violet leaf, and woody notes? Sounds more like a continuing education cooking class than a wild party!

To my nose I definately get a pineapple vibe with pepper and violet on the fence here.

@Leovn - & it Smell Fantastic too :)

Smells as a fresher Versace Eros.
