Carolina

"Carolina" is a clean, soft, elegant scent that I can see myself reaching for daily or at least every other day. I comfortably wear this to the office without worrying about giving others a migraine. I blind-bought the 0.13 oz mini, which means I dab (as opposed to spraying) it on, so I use a very light hand with it. The packaging and flanker design will fool you into thinking this is a floral perfume that packs quite a punch. It doesn't (unless you use a heavy hand with it). Keeping in mind that I bought the EDT, this fragrance doesn't have much time to bloom and perform at the level I expect it to before it fades into something familiar and predictable. I think this fragrance would work well with most body chemistries and would be okay to respray since the longevity is not that great. The orange is one of the first most noticeable notes, while the vanilla, amber, and musk are noticeable in the dry-down. I can see myself buying a larger bottle of this fragrance once the mini is done.

Beautiful! After the initial alcohol blast I got a very interesting note indeed - LICORICE! Good thing I like licorice since I had no idea that's what I'd be getting lol. ;) It was likely the strawberry leaf mixed with the amber that gave such a strange impression. Just like 212 VIP I am *still* in love with Herrera and will continue collecting as much as I can. This might not be the most innocuous scent since it's opens a little strong with the licorice scent but the bitter orange, pepper and vanilla tie things up very nicely after awhile. I wouldn't wear this one to work quite yet until you get some feedback from friends or the hubby/boyfriend. Lasts a good while on my skin and once it dries down it's VERY lovely to inhale while it sits close to your skin on the wrist. I really like this one and think I'll be moving it into my weekly rotation.

I wore this lovely creation last winter and now that the temps are dropping I spritzed some today - I *still* really enjoy this one! Unlike last winter I'm getting more of the forest fruits and is that a hint of vanilla? Yes along with the amber it dries down to a concoction that is just PERFECT for cold weather temps. I just adore pepper and the whiff I get in the first couple of minutes is just perfect. Not too much but not so subtle that you can't tell. This is still a gorgeous perfume with a LOT of potential. I love it and I'll be reaching for it til next spring! :)

This is a lovely scent! It ́s reminds of the scents of the eighties. It ́s old fashioned but in a good way. A soft, slightly sweet powdery scent. The earlier made resemblance with Mademoiselle and Flowerbomb i can ́t detect at all. Mademoiselle is more fresh and Flowerbomb is much sweeter and heavier. I don ́t like flowerbomb at all but i find this very lovely although the longevity is not that great, about 3-4 hours max. That ́s a pity because i like my perfumes to last all day. But it ́s good and a stayer for me i will finish my bottle.
