Garden Party!
212 VIP Party Fever starts off intensely fruity, a bit like canned fruit cocktail with melons - the pleasant kind: not too sweet, not too sour, super fruity and in no way fermented. Then something creamy comes into play. Normally, I don't like creamy scents, as they usually smell like unpleasant musk to me. However, here it is a different, really more creamy cream. For me, this is a whole new type of fragrance that instantly brings joy to my spirit.
However, I am starting to sense something: somehow this scent vaguely reminds me of "Sunny Side Up" by Juliette has a Gun, which was strangely both creamy and piercing at the same time, something I attributed to the listed ingredient Jasmine Lactone. Here, it seems to me that the same ingredient is present, just much more subtly dosed and much more harmoniously integrated with other fragrance notes. Nevertheless, Party Fever also introduces a somewhat muted piercing jasmine, which, stripped of its sharpness, I find quite interesting.
What I find much more alarming is that I now perceive a musk undertone, a musk that I refer to as "boring musk." By that, I mean the ubiquitous musk that many mainstream fragrances have as a base. It is neither particularly powdery nor distinctly creamy, not animalistic, nor in any way attractive. Fortunately, it is not as stuffy as some other musk scents, but it is somewhat stuffy and, above all, it comes across as ruthlessly artificial and is simply not a pleasant smell for me. I can also detect this "boring musk" in the background here and hope that it doesn't become more pronounced; otherwise, the fragrance would become a no-go for me.
But no, what emerges is a strange mélange of what I think is Jasmine Lactone and the fruits of the top note, which increasingly remind me of guava, so that the fragrance now has a fruity aquatic quality in the heart note. Even the gardenia undertone, which does not come from gardenias, and which I also noticed in Sunny Side Up, does not bother me, as my usual gardenia depression is balanced out by the cheerful guava.
I find the combination of fragrance notes in 212 VIP Party Fever fascinatingly different from most of the fragrances I know. Fortunately, the musk remains so in the background until the end that it does not spoil the fragrance for me, and even the Jasmine Lactone (if I am correct here) that is difficult for me is, in this dosage along with the canned fruit cocktail, probably the twist that makes the fragrance something special. Even the slight piercing quality is necessary to prevent it from becoming too creamy-sweet and thus boring.
212 VIP Party Fever is intense and long-lasting. It is definitely not just suitable for parties; I would think more of a summer garden party than a nightclub for this fragrance. Ultimately, I believe it is wearable for any leisure occasion, but one should be careful with the dosage. It is really quite intense.
By the way, I notice nothing of wood or raspberries throughout the entire duration. But that doesn't matter at all, as I find the fragrance simply rounded until the softly fruity-floral and slightly aquatic fading finish, just as it is.
It's a pity that this special feel-good flanker has been discontinued.
A small addendum: The next day on clothing from the previous day, I notice a note that is also in A Drop D'Issey, which seemed interesting and new there, but became too dominantly creamy-indolic over time. In 212 VIP Party Fever, the note is perfectly embedded, just so that it does not stand out. It certainly contributes to the uniqueness of the fragrance and is definitely one reason why it convinces me so much.
