What does VIP (2023) smell like?

Rum comes first, and aquatic notes in the heart add a cool, watery feel. Tonka bean settles at the base with sweetness and a woody warmth, while spicy and synthetic tones round out the fresh line in the background.

Longevity is weak and sillage moderate, though the vote counts are small, so treat these as rough. Voters lean towards daytime, leisure and evening wear, and some also pick it for the office. It is made for men. Penhaligon's The Tragedy of Lord George and Guerlain L'Homme Idéal Sport have a close profile.
