I love this product
Don't
I love this scent. I would buy again.
When I first sprayed 212 VIP Men, I got hit with this fizzy, cocktail‑like burst—think gin, vodka, zesty lime, ginger, and black pepper. It instantly gave me "club-night meets fresh-out-of-the-shower" vibes, exactly like minty mojitos and citrusy long-drinks—lively and playful. After a few minutes, the heart settles into smoother territory—mixes of ginger and lime still pop, but there are subtle floral and herbal layers adding a light, green twist . I also picked up that "sexy skin" feel—a soft tonka and amber base coats everything warm and a bit musky. It's cozy but not heavy. On me, the first 2 hours are lively, with moderate projection, then it calms down to a close, clean skin scent that stays around for about 4–5 hours. A lot of people say the same but I wish it stayed longer. Style-wise, 212 VIP Men is linear and synthetic—no crazy twists or surprises. That actually works in its favor, since it smells generally pleasant and gets compliments from random people. Overall, this scent is a trustable, feel‑good pick—bright, minty, and soft on the base. If I'm going out or just want to smell clean and friendly, it's my go‑to. It won't wow like niche colognes, but it's easy to wear, youthful, and gets you noticed—without being weird.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

The ultimate compliment machine
I have no idea why this fragrance is so affordable.. it is quite a complex fragrance. It has that sweet fruity initial note that will attract attention (passion fruit, lime), but has basil, pepper, mint to show that you are not just sweet but a solidly spicy clean man. It has some bold amber and leather to clearly establish this is a fragrance of a masculine modern man. The vodka and gin show you are here to have a good time, combined it is a sophisticated and attention grabbing fragrance. Highly recommend!
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Luv it as always
Bought it 1st time in 2006 and felt in luv. Ppl would compare it with JPG Le Male. I've been searching for it quite sometimes coz dun want to pay the original price. Until I found fragx. Unfortunately I received the 2017 batch and the opening smells has turned differently but the drydown is still similar. Anyway thanks fragx, it still the best platform if u looking for affordable fragrances.

ViP indeed
A very good party fragrance. Its something youd wear to a bar or a club in order to cut thru the crowd. You will be noticed but not that loud. It just seems you got ahead of everyone else in drinking as the alcohol is really potent.

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Weak Fixative - Tester
I simply love CH 212 Sexy Man and have been buying/wearing it for years. This is the first time I buy a tester for this specific product (I have bought for other products), and noticed the fixative is simply too weak. I may hold for a couple of hours, but not more than that. CH 212 Sexy Man makes a pretty good statement and, usually, stays on your body for at least a full day, when not longer. I'm not too sure about this tester...
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Don't
Let me say this, I've spent hundreds of dollars on this site so in no way am I a foreigner to grey markets and discounters. This fragrance is so disappointing. I get alcohol for the first 30 minutes and then the fragrance barely comes to life and then dies. I have seen many say the same about their bottles that were made in the past few yrs. I have tried it multiple times to get this to work, but its basically alcohol. Either this bottle is some sort of a factory second or CH has greatly weakened their product. Either way I am really frustrated and would NOT recommend that anyone try this. Also, The cap also seemed to not want to click into place so it would be perfectly aligned. Maybe this was a bad batch.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.
