VIP Black Red

It's pretty good, as you would expect it smells almost like the original because of the absinthe note but with some interesting differences... The drydown is lightly woody and spiced and it's well blended into the absinthe note that follows strong into the drydown and the leather is also light and only stays for the first hour... I find it better than 212 VIP black aside from winter wearing but this fragrance has a lot of not very volatile notes, when it dries down it gets really soft the original had musk and vanilla that stayed for a while and with decent sillage but it's not the case here. It lasts but it's soft and won't project much after 2 hours. But since it's not as sweet as the original this also makes it a good fragrance for spring and fall, and I would risk cooler summer nights too.

#734 in my "Tour de Fragrance" So VIP Black on left hand, VIP Black Red on the right. I can detect the bit of slightly sharper ginger in the Red. If I were to choose between the two I would choose the Red by a hair. By itself it not would move me to own both. If you added a little bergamot you'd have Mercedes-Benz Select Night. The difference between the two CH scents isn't enough to say it makes any real distinction. If you already have the one don't bother with the other. If you have neither go Red.

the only people hating this one are the Niche lovers lol. jokes apart, this is NOT the same fragrance as vip black, this is the original mixed with polo red intense and lil bit of eros flame but much less vanilay, than black. its pleasant and decent longevity for night outs. very youthful and modern, but not unique. you smelled this DNA before. just loved the bottle 8/10

The opening smelled hardly like rubber but just being about short moment after that it has sour of lemon and alcoholate, little bit spice due 5 flavour oriental spice. This's alternative to other fragrances for clubbing especially 1 million or type of that stuff. Be aware this's unusually for normal day so i suggest u it's suitable for where u really wanna be striking.

Really love 212 VIP series. Really like the bottles with that magnetic cap and they smell great also. My favorite is 212 VIP Black Extra.

I subscribe to what msajoy and Painkilller say, but do not to expect a realistic thujone note here, just a velvet russian vodka note with undertones similar to PR 1 Million, but airier. It is still loud in the range of the Davidoff's Game editions. Spicier and warmer than the original 212 VIP, suitable for clubbing or night's out.

I also bought this perfume because of the cause it represents. Good initiative Carolina Herrera. I bought this perfume with some fear. I'm afraid I can't use it during the day. BUT BUT surprise, you can use it during the day, it's easy, it's not at all nocturnal. Very versatile, it is obvious that on very hot days it is not advisable, but for temperatures below 30 degrees it is undoubtedly possible to use it at work with quiet friends. I loved the note of absinthe present in the perfume. I liked the performance and everything in general. It was my 5 perfume in the collection is named top10 but lower than what is waiting

I received this in the male today and was very excited about it. Is it just me or is this a carbon copy of 212 vip black? If there are any differences they are very subtle! I’ve sprayed each of them on separate wrists, maybe in the dry down they will smell different. Both packaging and the bottle are smart! I really like them!

I smelled it. It's a carbon copy of its predecessor black VIP

The initial rubber smell really threw me off.

the dry down is creamy I really like it
