Overview
Men who want a bold evening scent get fierce absinthe, smooth lavender and leather, and a vanilla and musk base in the Carolina Herrera VIP Black eau de parfum. It is made for dinners, dates and nights out.
A distinctive, long-lasting trail for night wear is the reason to choose it. The sweet, boozy profile is too much for daytime offices.

Performance notes
Absinthe and lavender lead briefly, then leather and vanilla take over and the musk base lingers for hours. Spraying pulse points warms the scent and helps it project.
