212 VIP Men Wins

#724 in my "Tour de Fragrance" As much as I like 212 VIP Black I like this even better. It's the Yuzu. Bright and citrusy without the sharpness or artificially flavored drink powder smell that so many citrus forward scents have. Nice pepper note. Lavender smoothness. The heavy bottle design and magnetic cap are great. This is car pool, elevator and office safe, but more of a day scent for warmer weather. Got multiple compliments on it. I have some similar scents on the shelf. This is not as sour as L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme and not as astringent as Nishane Wulong Cha. More potent than Armaf Odyssey Homme White and Eau Par Kenzo Pour Homme. Jomashop.com has this as a tester for $53.99 as opposed to the always overpriced FragranceNet.com at $104.99. I think at $54 this s a safe blind buy. Very happy with it.

I don't even know why they do a skinscent for thing to sprays on skin that be like do an orange fragrance to sprays on orange. This still good for type of fresh and clean aftershower, anyway.

The opening of this is AMAZING!

Purchased a decant of this fragrance and have been testing it for the past few days. The scent reminds me of Halloween Man Hero, albeit with a less sweet note. It's suitable for everyday wear, particularly if you're 35 years old or younger. The longevity on my skin is quite remarkable. However, I eventually grew weary of its sweetness and found it difficult to tolerate. Call me crazy, but I can definitely detect a distinct "skin" note in this fragrance. My mother's skin has a unique smell that is noticeable, not unpleasant, but distinctive, and I can definitely sense a similar profile here.

Opens up very aromatic and fresh and as it dries down it becomes more vanilla and ambery green freshness. On skin it smells very unique, but on the air it smells very similar to the CH VIP OG but a little more juvenile and 0 booze. For less tan $70 this is a great sexy aromatic smell for the daily. I get what the skin scent is trying to describe, but as comments below advise, this is more of a sexy white musk smell, which it’s very subtle, because the vanilla overtakes it. Smell: 8.4/10 Performance 8.0/10 Creativity: 8.2/10 Overall for less than $70: 8.4/10 $80 and above: 8.1/10

Smells good very safe fragrance very likeable 10/7 for smell of this

Got a sample of this in a fragrance subscription box. It’s not a bad scent but it smells like a lot of releases over the past few years, same old boring notes that you smell everywhere now, bright citrus opening, bit of spice in the mid and a slight sweet base from the Tonka bean, all of which smell synthetic and cheap. Not sure what the ‘skin’ note allures too and didn’t really pick up on anything that could be described as a ‘skin’ scent.. in summary, it smells cheap, synthetic and not so unique, the only redeeming quality is the striking green bottle.

WINS by the Venezuelan designer CAROLINA HERRERA 🍊🚿🌿 This Flanker could be classified as a modern FOUGERE. Citrusy Fresh, aromatic and greenish. The opening feels kind of AFTER SHOWERISH or Gel deodorant vibe. Will be a hit among the younger guys since it’s appealing, safe and SPORTY. A nice choice to start a collection. For casual wear any time of the year Rate: 🥈

'Skin' is most likely white musk/cotton musk. We should know by now the advertised notes are simplified for the general public so it is easier to relate to as opposed to hundreds and hundreds of chemical names(... because 7-acetyl-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 oxyhydro-1127tetramethylnapthalene-to name just one- just trips off the tongue doesn't it...)

This is an extract from the CH site: Olfactive family: Fougère Top Notes: Basil Grand Vert, Green Yuzu Accord & Mandarin Heart Notes: Lavender & Black Pepper Madagascar Bottom Notes: Sexy Skin Accord & Tonka Beans "Sexy Skin" accord. Fragrantica, how dare you leaving the sexy part out!

I was curious about this till I saw the...skin note. Please tell me this is synthetic and not a real skin note from real sources

@JusttheFactsMan I see you in every review. If you don't mind me asking what do you do for work?

@vipmen: lol, i think it means the base note is nonexistent so u can only smell your own skin 😉😂

Our newest skin note. Brought to you by Hannibal Lecter and Buffalo Bill.

To my nose, this smells very close to Polo Red EDT.

Skin note?! What's next - armpit odor ?? 🤣🤣🤣
