About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Launched in 2010, 212 VIP for women is a sweet oriental vanilla built on a rum-and-passionfruit opening that quickly turns tropical and boozy. The heart brings gardenia and musk, adding a creamy white floral softness before the base settles into vanilla and tonka bean. Collectors should expect a gourmand-leaning profile with prominent vanilla, sweet, and rum accords, backed by fruity and white floral nuances. It suits those who enjoy bold, night-out fragrances with a playful, cocktail-inspired character, rather than subtle or office-friendly scents. The blend is straightforward but effective, and its discontinued status makes it a sought-after piece for fans of early 2010s designer orientals.
