Delicious human skin scent! Ideal to accompany with a glass of blood.
We already know CH releases 6 perfumes a year, but ‘skin note, human skin’? I hope they confused it with leather, because even Nazis wouldn’t think of putting skin notes in a perfume, or how did they synthesize skin? I don’t understand anything. If anyone can explain, please.
Without wanting to defend mass-market CH perfumes, I want to clarify the skin notes issue. These belong to animalic notes (including humans) and were always used with castoreum, musk, or civet. After banning the sacrifice of animals, they are now synthesized in labs. Aggressive notes like those in Gentleman from ’74, Antaeus, or ladies’ fragrances take us to the primary, instinctive, or sexual. Mixed with amber, flowers, or spices, they give sensual attraction. Abstract scents like vinyl, asphalt, sun, cocaine, marijuana, smoke, etc., are also used. I imagine the skin scent as soft grease, or if intense, sweat, sulfur, or clean saliva (suede is a possible comparison, but more aromatic). The blood scent I see as metallic. I still haven’t had the luck to try this 212. We’ll see what it smells like. Cheers.
How’s everyone doing? I went to the perfumery with prejudices and this time habit proved me right. The ‘Wins’ message isn’t about winning female conquests, but winning in the sporting sense, because 212 Wings tends to tone up, refresh, and boost. A strong, rough citrus opening dominated by basil lasts a good while (at first I thought of Bad Boy, Tommy Impact, or the 212 VIP Black with its green absinthe note). Later, the pepper tames that green and joins a friendly lavender. Hours later, dry and sweet, with coumarin and its own skin. Very similar to the VIPs, but this one is fresh and rough with its yuzu note (beautiful). Good performance on skin, but… unless you are a collector of flashy bottles, it’s too much money for so little. Do I like it? Yes, for the yuzu. Would I buy it? No, subtle differences from the others and a high price for this limited edition. Only for athletes, and I’m not one.
I tried it yesterday at the perfumery and I liked it a lot; I’m thinking of giving it to my husband. It’s a very fresh scent with a sweet touch that stands out, ideal for daytime.
WINS by Carolina Herrera 🍊🚿🌿. This flanker is a modern Fougère: fresh, citrusy, aromatic, and green. The opening is like ‘after shower’ with a gel deodorant vibe. It will be a hit among guys because it’s attractive, versatile, and sporty. A great choice to start a collection. I use it casually in any season.
This fragrance surprised me. It smells great, with good longevity and sillage, though it’s for days that aren’t cold. Generally, heat fragrances don’t last more than 5 or 6 hours on me, but this one was still on my skin after 8 hours. It projects very well for the first 3 hours and then shrinks without fading away. Highly recommended.
I was surprised by this fragrance. It smells great, with good longevity and sillage. Ideal for days that aren’t cold; usually, heat perfumes don’t last me more than 5 or 6 hours on skin, but this one has already passed 8 and I can still smell it. It projects very well for the first 3 hours and then fades without becoming unnoticeable. Highly recommended.
I bought it blind and loved it so much. Very citrusy opening with a certain zing that settles quickly to leave a sweet background, probably due to the lavender. Longevity and sillage are average on my skin, with good projection for the first hour and a half. It’s a ten for warm days. If you like citrus fragrances, I highly recommend it.

CH 212 VIP WINS smells like Yuzu cream. It is citrusy, yes, but different from the typical fresh, juicy, and aquatic citrus we usually imagine. Here, the opening is strong, sharp, and spicy, like when you twist a yuzu peel and that intense oil comes out, boosted by strong pepper. Although it starts as a punch, it settles and lets you feel a soft, clean, sweet lavender. Gradually it becomes creamy but keeps that citrus undertone. After an hour, everything is sweeter, with vanilla and tonka bean. Curiously, the ‘skin’ note is noticeable, something I clearly perceive due to my habit of smelling everything I touch. I associate scents with colors, and in the background, I feel that skin tone. Performance is very good, lasting about 8 hours on skin with moderate sillage. If you don’t like citrus, I don’t recommend it. I haven’t tried other VIPs and I think this one is unique. Cheers.
CH 212 VIP WINS smells like yuzu cream, a citrus distinct from the typical kind: strong and piercing at first, like twisted peel oil with a lot of pepper. Then it calms down with soft, clean lavender, becoming creamy while keeping that underlying citrus note. After an hour, it’s all vanilla and tonka bean. Curiously, that ‘skin’ note the bottle mentions—I feel it myself, even though I obsessively check my hands and arms like I have OCD; it’s like the color of skin. It lasts about 8 hours with moderate sillage. It smells creamy but always has that citrus zing, so if you don’t like citrus, don’t touch it. I haven’t tried other VIPs, and I think this one is unique.
I tried it yesterday and it has a rich citrus opening that doesn’t overdo it, quickly turning into a pleasant sweetness similar to Paco Rabanne’s Phantom, but without being cloying. It projects well and lasts over 6 hours. The moderate price is around $100 here in Mexico.
If you really like 212 VIP Black, this is the ideal version for when it’s very hot: it’s fresher, with a yuzu touch at the beginning. Although it can be worn during the day, I think it suits summer nights better. I give it 5.5/10 among the best 212 flankers.
If you really like 212 VIP Black, this is the ideal version as a complement for when it’s too hot. It’s a fresher 212 VIP Black with a touch of yuzu in the opening. While it can be worn during the day, I think it looks better on summer nights. 5.5/10 of the best 212 flankers.
212 VIP Wins keeps that DNA of the 212 VIP, but just like you see in the ‘Green’ bottle, that’s how it is, friends. I really like it, it performs better in the mornings, for everyday wear. You put it on in the morning and when you get home you can still smell it. It smells great, I recommend it!
The 212 VIP Wins keeps the VIP DNA but adds that green touch from the bottle, friends. I love it and it works great for everyday wear, especially in the morning. You spray it and make it home, and you can still smell it. It smells delicious; I recommend it!
Excellent choice for going to high school or university.
Hey! This perfume is for fans of the VIP line spirit. If you like VIP Black and know it’s only for cold days, fresh autumn nights on weekends… and you want something similar for summer. This is your best option. VIP Wins has a noticeable yuzu note and a green aroma thanks to basil, without losing that VIP Black aura. Then it turns fruity, as if you were wearing a fruit cocktail with citrus and something sweet and clean, which I think is lavender. Finally, the fragrance becomes slightly sweet without losing its heart notes. It’s youthful, for someone aged 22 to 30. It’s not formal, it’s for casual use: going to eat or have dinner on a terrace with friends while ordering drinks in summer or a sunny spring. Very good projection: 2 hours at arm’s length. Longevity 7 hours on skin (on clothes until the next morning).
I barely bought it, didn’t really pay attention, and thought about selling it. Then, after several tries, it became one of the fragrances I use most. It’s versatile, one of those you wear when you don’t know what to choose, and it performs very well in the heat. It’s a bit green, but sweet, without cloying anyone, and it doesn’t stand out too much. It has more than acceptable performance and it’s not a mainstream scent.
Well, when expectations exceed reality. I bought this looking for a green yet pleasant aroma, thinking maybe it could be a VIP Black alternative for daytime. It’s not entirely fake, but it just doesn’t convince me. Don’t get me wrong, it’s rich and my wife loves it, but I just don’t click with it. I was about to gift it, but the recipient never showed up. Now it’s my Sunday sunny perfume, for going out in shorts and a t-shirt, heading to the market, things like that. By the way, what I like most is its fresh opening.
At first, I was indifferent, thinking it was just ‘a mass-appeal perfume, pleasant but nothing special.’ Over time, using it daily, I honestly started to like it. It doesn’t smell synthetic or annoying like others; it feels very natural. I love the yuzu and tangerine opening; it’s not sharp like in other fragrances (those that hurt your nose, you know?), it’s pleasant for the olfactory system, neither too strong nor too soft. I see it as perfect for a sunny day with an informal shirt. It has a strange, soft note that I think is skin; I prefer it for work over an Eros EDP, although there are better options for special occasions, even compared to Eros. Anyway, a scent everyone likes, nothing new but rich.
Delicious citrus aroma, though I think it’s a bit too much. Weak projection, but good longevity on skin, about 8 hours. Very refreshing for hot climates.
The dry down takes me straight to Versace Dylan Blue.
This one actually smells like yuzu, the limited edition green bottle. It’s close to Issey Miyake L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme, but the citrus really stands out here. However, something feels off to me: it smells like skin. It’s not the first time this happens, but having Carolina Herrera do this gives me a bit of a scare. The yuzu is fine, but that skin note leaves me doubtful, especially in this green bottle.
