Fragrance Profile

The opening of Party Fever is a sparkling cocktail of red apple and citrus fruits—zesty, effervescent, and instantly invigorating. The tart sweetness is laced with spicy ginger and the fresh, aromatic bite of juniper berries. Tamarind lends a faintly sour tang that adds intrigue without overwhelming the brightness. As the heart develops, a bold green note emerges: cannabis. It's earthy and herbal but surprisingly smooth, harmonizing with floral accents of freesia and the crisp freshness of geranium. The result is a center that’s equal parts clean and wild, a contrast that keeps things exciting.

In the base, warm tonka bean and musk lay down a sensual foundation, enriched by dry cedarwood and grassy vetiver. Hints of olibanum (frankincense) create a soft resinous trail that adds depth without heaviness. The dry down is mellow, lightly sweet, and smoky in a subtle, skin-hugging way that makes this fragrance addictive rather than overpowering.

Occasion

This scent was made for the nightlife. Ideal for parties, clubs, rooftop gatherings, or any high-energy evening setting, 212 VIP Men Party Fever thrives in social atmospheres. It's not built for the boardroom or daily errands—its personality is too bold, too extroverted. Think strobe lights, laughter, dancing, and heat.

Season

Party Fever performs best in spring and summer, especially during the evenings. The fresh fruity top and airy herbal core can struggle in colder temperatures, but they come alive in warmth—especially when mixed with body heat. While it leans toward casual or party wear, it’s versatile enough to carry into late summer weddings or open-air dinners.

Performance

The initial projection is noticeable without being aggressive. Within the first hour, it creates a vivid presence, which gradually mellows into a smooth, pleasant aura around the wearer. It balances intensity and wearability with skill, making it a good option for those who want to leave a mark without being overbearing.

Longevity

6+ hours.

Sillage

Moderate, projecting up to 6 feet.
