212 Vip Tester

212 VIP Men is one of my favorite fragrances ever and it was an instant love for me. If you enjoy fresh scents, but not the boring “shower gel” type of freshness, this one makes a lot of sense. The opening is fresh, slightly fruity and spicy, with that recognizable vodka-like effect that gives me an almost metallic, clinically clean feeling. That cold, sharp start is honestly one of the best parts. After it sits on the skin for a while, it gets even better. It becomes smoother, warmer and more pleasant, while still keeping that fresh character. I also received compliments quite often while wearing it, which makes sense because it is very easy to like. For me, this is definitely a safe blind buy, especially if you like fresh, masculine scents with a clean, slightly metallic edge. It is modern, pleasant and very wearable.

This is my all-time signature scent from high school and i have so many memories tied to it. I always come back to this because in the end i always realise that it suits me the best. However i think there was some kind of reformulation around 4-5 years ago because the original box of this was black and now its silver. i also noticed some changes in the scent when i got one as a gift with the silver box. it somehow had less character and worse longevity and sillage. Maybe it was just a faulty batch because my recent one is performing better. As i said my only problem with this is the performance. The scent itself is just the best imo.

lotta ppl bash 1 million and this for smelling generic but i have yet to smell anything that smells of that realistic non suede leather in many fragrances. This leather note that im mentioning here isnt a harsh weird superamber-esque concontion like in tom fords nor a rubbery plasticy fake leather; unlike most of the scents that feature leather note. Leather is prominent on my skin and it smells like a realistic but really clean non suede leather (after its chemical plastic vibes disappear used for curing) mixed with clean male-skin musks + some sweetness that doesnt smell like a baby powder galore.

Good fragrance that is, in my opinion mass appealing. It smells fresh spicy, and has a bit of an aromatic kick. You can smell slightly the passionfruit, however I can’t smell the vodka or gin note, maybe I’m nose blind. I can smell the pepper, a bit of ginger, and mint. On the dry down I definitely get some amber not that helps it smooth out. This fragrance is good all year, maybe not when it’s like 30-35 degrees Celsius with the sun hitting you, if so maybe a couple of sprays, but in all honesty, the vibe of this fragrance is a summer night out to a club. I already got compliments from it.

Lowkey slaps so hard. This one tells a story, imagine an office worker who has an interest in bodybuilding. He is muscular, but not satisfied with his life and work. He likes to have some fun and adventures in some parties and is a secret alcoholic. He hides behind his white shirt and black suit (Citrus and aromatic notes) while his real personality is a lot more adventurous (vodka and spices). The scent also has undertones very similar to creatine. I do not get leather or woody notes that much. Longevity is acceptable, projection is really great.
