Carolina Herrera de Baez, daughter of Carolina Herrera and Creative Director of fragrances at the House of Herrera gives us a look inside the infamous fashion house through the most exclusive collection of perfumes. Mixing her mother’s traditional Latin roots with her own contemporary New York style, the two join forces to create an irresistible collection of perfumes.
Growing up and admiring her mother’s love for fragrance and inspired by her continued success, Carolina Herrera de Baez was inspired to find the perfect scent by experimenting in the world of fragrance. The result of this personal project with her mother was six fragrances and four essential oils. These oils can be mixed with each other to create your own personal fragrance. The presentation is an elegant glass bottle stamped with the initials "CH". Embark on your own journey to find the perfect scent by mixing these essential oils and experiment with the different fragrances in the Herrera Confidential line.
Herrera Tuberose
Close your eyes and imagine the scent of the queen of white flowers, a symbol of Herrera's timeless elegance. This floral scent is warmed by a blend of orange and vanilla. The scent symbolizes confidence - the designer believes that staying true to yourself is the easiest way to have a timeless appeal.
Burning Rose
Red is a color of power and love. Herrera also believes that red is a color of energy and celebration. The burning rose from Bulgaria is infused with cinnamon and other high quality spices. This fragrance almost brings you a burst of fire and energy.
Nightfall Patchouli
This scent was inspired by the mysterious fantasy world that takes place at night. Night is when reality and fantasy can be fused together to create an infinite world of possibilities through your imagination. A fragrance to symbolize this would be something seductive and sensual, making the contrasting resin and spices a perfect blend for the forbidden cinnamon scent. Herrera celebrates those who dare to think differently through this fragrance.
Oud Couture
Mixing Middle Eastern culture with a modern New York twist, the most precious wood has been extracted to create the perfect seductive scent. Blending the agarwood with roses and resins creates this electrifying scent which gives you a feeling of endless possibilities.
Neroli Bohemeand
This light and playful fragrance pays homage to the carefree days Carolina Herrera spent in her Venezuelan family estate. This Bohemian scent combines Italian Citrus fruits mixed with an Indian Jasmine for depth. It symbolizes the memories of the beautiful gardens and sunsets during all the friends and family gatherings the estate hosted.
Amber Desire
Ambre 83 has been reinvented from a classic oriental fragrance into a purer and brighter interpretation. This modern twist includes a fusion of dates, rose and vanilla. Still staying true to herself and her classic style but always adding a modern contemporary twist, this fragrance symbolizes the beliefs of the Carrera's - mother and daughter combined.
Herrera Oils
Celebrating a woman's individuality, these oils were created to be worn along with the fragrances to add a unique touch to each scent.
Pure Rose oil, oil of Oud, Musk and Sandalwood are all bottled in a beautiful crystal sealed with the initials. Only using the purest and finest forms of these oils, each oil is paired up with a few of the fragrances as a suggestion, making the final choice yours so you can create your own unique scent.
