Recently, I’ve been trying out a new men’s fragrance called 212 VIP Men, and I gotta say, it’s been an interesting experience. So, I bought this 212 VIP Men a few weeks back, you know, just to try something new.

The first time I used it, I sprayed it on my wrists and neck. The scent was kinda sweet, not too strong, but noticeable. They say it’s got a hint of vodka and some fruity smell, which I guess is true. It felt like something you’d wear to a party or a night out. I decided to wear it to a dinner thing with friends, just to see what would happen.
Now, here’s the thing about this fragrance, it doesn’t last that long. I mean, after a few hours, I could barely smell it on myself. My friends didn’t really say anything about it, so maybe it was just too light for them to notice, or maybe it disappeared.
- First try: Sprayed on wrists and neck.
- Scent: Sweet, a bit fruity, with a hint of something like vodka.
- Event: Dinner with friends.
- Result: Didn’t last long, no comments from friends.
Next, I thought, maybe I should put it on my clothes, that might make it last longer, right? So the next time I went out, I sprayed it on my shirt. It did stick around a bit more, but still, not as long as I hoped. It’s like it’s there, but you have to get really close to smell it. I was out with some colleagues after work, and when I hugged them byebye, one of them said I smelled nice, but that’s about it.
Different Strategy
- Second try: Sprayed on clothes.
- Result: Lasted a bit longer, but still pretty faint. One colleague noticed it.
I also tried using it during the day, just for everyday stuff. Yeah, it’s okay for that, I guess. It’s not overpowering, so it’s fine for the office or just running errands. But honestly, it’s not really memorable. It’s like, you smell good, but it doesn’t make you stand out or anything. And because the smell is not really strong, no one really noticed it at work.
So, overall, 212 VIP Men is alright. It’s a decent, sweet-smelling fragrance that’s good for casual wear or maybe a low-key night out. But if you want something that really lasts and makes an impression, this might not be it. It’s like, it’s there, but it doesn’t really make a statement. I’ll probably keep using it until the bottle’s finished, but I’m not sure if I’d buy it again.

It’s just not that special, you know? Maybe it’s just my skin or something, but it didn’t really work out the way I expected. But hey, trying new things is always an adventure, right?
