âThis was my favourite scent back in 2013. Affordable price, good projection, however longetivity and sillage just average.In my opinion 212 VIP is quite sweet scent in the drydown, definitely for younger crowd. I liked it very much, however there is big similarity to 1 million and all people around me thought I am wearing 1 Million... I don´t have anything against it, on the other hand I don´t want to smell like every second kid in the city, so I haven´t purchased it agian.â
â212 VIP Men is a heady cocktail of vodka, passion fruit, gin, and mint, all tempered with pepper and spices with a hint of lime and ginger. Quite a complex fragrance.Some reviews below have called this a Paco Rabanne One Million clone, but I don't see it. It's got a similar nightlife/partying vibe to it, but it's very restrained. While it's perfect for a night out, it's not an in-your-face sort of fragrance.The only negatives for me are the limited longevity and sillage. I get average longevity of around 3 hours, with moderate sillage.â
âAt opening a great mojito vibe and in dry down gorgeous vanilla with white chocolate. There is a synthetic feel from some notes but it smells great. I want to dislike this fragrance as it super popular and i smell it some time from others.. but this is an excellent juice with gourmandish qualities. Excellent projection and longevity.â

The original Accento features a more refined creamy iris undertone and superior longevity, while L'Femme Paradiso emphasizes the tuberose more prominently and has a lighter, slightly more synthetic finish. The clone's projection is also noticeably softer, making it better suited for intimate wear rather than all-day presence.

Swaps some of the original's passionfruit, vodka and gin for tobacco, tonka bean and apple. Voters say it fades sooner on skin.

Sillage
The clone matches the overall structure closely but lacks the sophistication of the original's floral transition; longevity is comparable but sillage tends to be slightly softer on Italiano Uomo.
