New York rodeo: the spirit of freedom

Inspired by the freedom of rodeo nights and the endless energy of New York, the fragrance is the embodiment of masculinity and adventure. It is a perfume for those who move confidently through the night, whether at an exclusive party or on a spontaneous adventure. The star-studded design of the bottle hints at the rugged romance of the rodeo, while its glossy black surface reflects the chic of the city. The scent is intense and modern, ideal for the autumn and winter season, when you want a fragrance that is both powerful and refined.

The layers of the fragrance: a bold synergy

212 VIP Black NY Rodeo is an aromatic woody-leathery fragrance that unfolds in layers, offering a rich and multifaceted experience:

  • Top notes: lavandin and rosemary – a fresh and aromatic opening.
  • Heart notes: saffiano leather and absinthe – a strong and mysterious heart.
  • Base notes: vetiver and patchouli – a smoky and deep finish.

The fragrance begins with the fresh, herbal notes of lavandin and rosemary, which awaken the senses and create an energetic introduction. In the heart, saffiano leather and absinthe come forward, adding robust elegance and mystical charm. Finally, everything is wrapped in the smoky, earthy embrace of vetiver and patchouli, which gives the scent a lasting, masculine afterglow. It is a composition that combines urban style and a wild spirit.

The opening burst: lavandin and rosemary

The first spray of 212 VIP Black NY Rodeo brings out lavandin and rosemary – fresh and aromatic notes that are like a morning breeze in a rodeo arena. Lavandin, the livelier relative of lavender, brings a clean sparkle, while rosemary adds a herbal sharpness. The combination is instantly captivating, offering an energetic start that is youthful yet complex enough for evening events. After a few minutes these notes begin to soften, making room for the leather and absinthe heart, but the first impression is remembered as a fresh and lively introduction.

Heart strength: saffiano leather and absinthe

As the fragrance develops, the heart notes come forward – saffiano leather and absinthe, which give the scent a robust and mysterious character. Saffiano leather, known for its luxurious texture, adds masculine strength and alludes to the elegance of the fashion house's leather accessories. Absinthe, green and slightly bitter, brings a mystical layer, like a night adventure in the shadows of New York. These notes create a balanced contrast between the fresh top notes and the deep base, making the fragrance multifaceted and suitable for both a club and a formal event.

Base depth: vetiver and patchouli

As the night progresses, 212 VIP Black NY Rodeo reveals its full power with the vetiver and patchouli base notes. Vetiver brings a smoky, earthy depth, like the dusty aftermath of a rodeo, while patchouli adds a rich and lasting layer. These notes are the anchor of the scent, offering a sensual finish. The base is intense but not overly dominant, ideal for evening events where you want to leave a memorable impression.

Lasting imprint: the effect of the scent

212 VIP Black NY Rodeo is an Eau de Parfum that develops slowly on the skin and leaves a charismatic trail. The freshness of the lavandin, the strength of the leather and the smokiness of the vetiver work together to create a fragrance that adapts to your skin. In the first few minutes the scent is bolder, then it turns into a more intimate skin scent. It is a perfume for the man who wants his presence to be noticed, whether at a party, on a date or at a special event.
