From your scent profile
Carolina Herrera 212 VIP Men Wins is a fresh, lightly sweet men's scent led by citrus and green tones.
Skunky's take: When spring arrives, this bottle comes off the shelf.
How does it perform?
From 23 community ratings, all out of 10.
Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

SpicyWhat does 212 VIP Men Wins smell like?
It opens with basil, yuzu and green mandarin orange, a bright, green start. Lavender and Madagascar pepper add a floral, spicy touch in the heart. In the base, tonka bean sweetens the scent, while Haitian vetiver and leather ground it in a woody, leathery finish.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the number of votes is small, so this rests on a limited sample. It reads masculine. Trussardi My Land (Eau de Toilette) and Câline Powerful Black have a close profile.
