Today I picked up this sealed gem from 2013 and I can’t believe it, what happiness… It keeps the original DNA but with a citrus twist, it’s perfect and well-balanced. Lasts 6 hours on skin, longer on clothes. If you find it like I did, buy it without thinking twice.

I won’t go into too much detail since it’s discontinued: green lime and gin dominate, with hints of cucumber, lemon, and rosemary. It’s very fresh for the heat, but simple, not spectacular, and the performance is poor. It was a limited edition; some will want it, but I wouldn’t recommend it; the price will surely go up and there are better options. 5/10.

This is my first Carolina Herrera; it smells great, lasts well, and feels youthful, seductive, and elegant. I really liked it; most CHs share that characteristic DNA, but this one is different. I compared it to the Hugo Boss bottle, and without a doubt, CH Summer is superior in longevity.

This Carolina Herrera keeps the DNA but leans more citrusy. The opening is strong due to the citrus notes, but after 10 minutes it softens and becomes delicious. Perfect for summer. Longevity and sillage are moderate, typical of summer scents, so you’ll never feel overwhelmed. The first time it smelled like fresh eggs to me, but by the fourth wear, I didn’t notice it anymore. Final rating: 7.5/10.
