The Fragrance
212 VIP Black is a powerful aromatic ambery woody eau de parfum made for the night at its most intense. Bold absinthe opens with cool aromatic freshness, black leather adds smooth sensual depth, and vanilla leaves a warm, addictive trail that lingers on skin. Ideal for dinners, nights out, after-dark plans and moments when you want a fragrance that feels daring, sensual and magnetic.
What do you smell first? Absinthe opens with a bold aromatic hit – sharp, slightly bitter and instantly nocturnal. What develops next? Black leather adds smooth, sensual depth, giving the fragrance a darker edge. What lingers? Vanilla and musk wrap the skin in warm, addictive softness, creating a smooth, sensual finish. As an Eau de Parfum, Carolina Herrera 212 VIP Black has a richer, more intense feel, with a warm trail that lingers through the night.

Fragrance Concentration
Perfumes, whether for men or women, contain a fragrance concentrate (essential oils) diluted in a mixture of alcohol and water. In reality, the fragrance concentration percentage and its level of alcohol influence how long the scent lasts, and determine its category. There are four types of perfume with specific characteristics:
Eau de Cologne
This is the lightest, least persistent type of perfume. Its concentration varies from 2% to 5%. The product is fresh, invigorating and associated with a concept of cleanliness and freshness.
Eau de Toilette (EDT)
One of the most popular types of perfume, eau de toilette is perfect for regular, everyday use. Its concentration varies from 5% to 12%. The top notes make up half the fragrance. The perfumer places emphasis on the freshness and unfurling of the fragrance.
Eau de Parfum (EDP)
Sometimes called parfum de toilette or esprit de parfum, its concentration varies from 12% to 20%. Eau de parfum is long-lasting and remains for 5 to 10 hours. The middle notes make up most of the fragrance. The perfumer highlights these notes to enhance the perfume’s sparkle. More concentrated than eau de toilette, eau de parfum is generally more tenacious and leaves a stronger scent trail.
Perfume
Also known as extrait de parfum, this is the most concentrated product. Its concentration varies from 20% to 40% in an extra-fine alcohol solution of 96%. This fragrance lasts longer than other types and is generally reserved for special occasions, especially for the evening and night. Base notes make up most of the fragrance. The perfumer places emphassis on the noble quality of the base notes to reinforce its tenaciousness and volume. A few drops of perfume applied directly to the skin, preferably on the pulse points, are sufficient to reveal its trail and intensity.
