212 VIP Rosé Red
by Carolina Herrera
212 VIP Rosé Red delivers a vibrant, sweet-savory profile that feels both playful and sophisticated. The opening bursts with bright liquor, raspberry, and a distinctive green tomato-like note, evoking a tropical fruit salad or fresh tomato sauce—sharper than sweet. As it develops, the fragrance blends spiced rose, patchouli, and musky woody base, creating a warm, creamy depth reminiscent of tiramisu or rich coffee. The scent evolves from energetic to quiet and intimate, with moderate sillage that lingers subtly for hours. Its character strikes a balance between youthful sweetness and mature elegance, making it suitable for a wide range of occasions, especially night outs or casual social settings. The bottle design—red pill shape with magnetic cap—adds to its memorable appeal.
