The review
Worth a try. That is where Italiano Uomo lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to 212 VIP.
Armaf describes it with lavender and amber — a different vocabulary from 212 VIP's pyramid, so judge it on the votes below as much as the notes.
It is sold as an eau de toilette, a lighter concentration than most originals.
At $24 per 100ml it costs 72% less than 212 VIP — the cheapest of 1 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Armaf publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
What it is chasing: passion fruit, rum and bergamot up top, gardenia and musk in the middle, vanilla, Tonka Bean and musk underneath — the shape of Carolina Herrera 212 VIP.
Top
- passion fruit
- rum
- bergamot
Heart
- gardenia
- musk
Base
- vanilla
- Tonka Bean
- musk
Boozy rum and passionfruit over vanilla, sugary and made for the club.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
