It’s a monster among monsters in terms of longevity and sillage. It’s a basic classic in any good collection that takes itself seriously, an 80s/90s white floral from a book. It’s incredible what it projects and how it stays on skin and clothes. It’s Carolina Herrera’s champion, very far from what you smell today within this brand. Its performance should be imitated by their new additions. But: I can’t handle it. I love the scent and it gets me many compliments (to be honest, from mature women, though I’m in my early thirties and use everything because perfumeries have it all). But after about five hours, the civet note emerges from the base. I don’t know if it’s a skin chemistry issue, but to my nose, it smells like urine, like a little animal… those around me don’t notice, only I do. And honestly, it ends up giving me nausea and headaches… with how beautiful it is during its first hours. I haven’t gotten rid of it, but I can say it’s the perfume I respect most in my collection. I’m very generous when applying perfume, but with this one, I don’t put on more than two sprays and I pray to everything holy that it goes well… too much.
I really like this perfume; it’s the only one of my few that lasts at least 4 hours on my skin and more than two days on clothes. It was a gift from my daughter; now she uses it too, and despite being a teenager, she’s fascinated by it. It lasts on her even after showering. I started knowing nothing about perfumes and think I’ve learned at least 5% in a year, since this universe is so vast. Unfortunately, while researching the notes, I saw a review mentioning an animalic aroma and didn’t know what they meant until I discovered it; I don’t smell it the same way anymore. I like it, but mostly that scent repels me; I hope it’s artificial and not real.
I didn’t know it was still being sold; I used it back in 1990 when I was a teenager. It was my first perfume; as an adult, after Farala and Anaiss, my friends and I would put it on for our first discos and feel like goddesses there. I fell madly in love with it. However, I smelled it recently, and while it transported me back to that era, it’s a scent I can’t stand anymore and I don’t like it at all. It’s curious how our sense of smell changes with age.
Rasimlet is a beast of a floral, super intense and opulent, with lots of personality and balance. I got lucky to try it before the reformulation; now it’s been copied so much that the scent becomes tiring. My respects to this masterpiece from the house, an example of longevity, the world champion of the floral pantheon.
I used to wear it a lot in the 90s and loved it. Today, I have a love/hate relationship with it: it’s extremely strong and intense, and after so much use, it now feels cloying to me. On my skin, the jasmine dominates; it’s a bomb of white flowers. Its longevity is eternal, and the trail is huge. It’s sophisticated and elegant, bringing back many memories. I wouldn’t wear it anymore; it’s vintage but remains a CH icon, a great perfume.
When it first came out, it was all the rage: who didn’t want to wear it! Today, however, when I smell it on someone or in a place, it no longer appeals to me. It feels too strident. I don’t think it’s out of fashion, but I definitely wouldn’t wear this Herrera anymore.
It brings back memories of my youth. It was the first branded perfume my mother gave me, and I adored it. That intense jasmine and neroli scent transported me straight to the terrace of our summer home. Intense, sophisticated, and a true classic.
It’s amazing. At 31, I’m already tired of the usual trends; everything smells the same. I prefer to stand out and not smell like everyone else. Many find it ‘ladylike,’ but I love its classic 90s vibe, something that’s not valued much these days.
It’s a pure white floral, just white flowers. Not very sweet. Category: elegant lady.
Bought it today in EDP form during one of those impulsive perfume moments we fans love. A hit of neroli, jasmine, and greenery. I sprayed each wrist, thinking it might be too much for the house (it’s cold, I clarify), and my husband noticed from the other side, saying it was too strong and gave him stomach trouble. I was sad, but then I had a brilliant idea: spray once inside the cap, dip my finger in, and touch my wrist. I’m in bed with him beside me, enjoying the tip of my index finger, and it hasn’t affected him at all. Summary: intoxicating for me; one spray is enough because of its intensity. It’s a night perfume, a wedding perfume, and if used during the day, ideally in winter. I’ll wear it by touching the spray with the tip of my finger.
Difficult by today’s standards, but I love it because it requires attitude and will. Its white flowers aren’t accommodating, and its sweetness isn’t cloying; without extra dose, you get burned. It’s a feminine fragrance but in the antipodes of today’s ‘cute girly’ vibe. Perhaps too elegant and explicit, uncompromisingly retro, ideal for a worldly, confident, intelligent, and experienced woman, not just one with age.
I HATE IT FOR NOTHING. The moment you smell it: vintage, but the kind that permeates and makes you want to take it off, not the kind that makes you want to live in that era. It’s for an older lady. Extremely potent with a piercing sillage. It reminded me of Elizabeth Arden’s Red Door, which I detest, but this is a bit richer and ‘softer’. Anyway, it’s a giant NO for me.
Too powerful and not sweet; it’s a real vintage aroma. I felt sick smelling it; it’s very strong and doesn’t come off easily from clothes or the environment.
Aunt Berta used this in the 90s and early 2000s when the heat would soak into it and leave it clinging to you. I was a kid and dreamed of wearing it; now I’m a fan of J’adore, but who knows if I won’t want to return to my childhood someday. It’s a floral explosion of tenderness and affection because it reminds me of her 😊.
If you have character, this vintage Carolina Herrera puts you on the red carpet; it’s pure sensuality in an elegant bottle. No nonsense: it’s for confident women who dare and live life to the fullest, leaving a trail that says more than a thousand words. It starts pure and opulent, like a chorus of energy with green citrus, lily, narcissus, jasmine, hyacinth, ylang-ylang, and apricot, all orchestrated by musk, ambergris, vetiver, cedar, and oakmoss. It’s not for everyday wear, but if you enjoy it, it’s a delightful experience and an elegant ally. Watch out: it’s very different from what they sell today; I don’t know the current version.
Since 1990, Carolina Herrera was the fragrance I adopted as my own. It transcends for those who love white florals. It has undergone some reformulations but still maintains 93% of its original essence in the EdT and 90% in the EdP. It’s perfect.
Sometimes we read reviews and feel like we’re smelling a completely different fragrance than others describe. That’s my experience with the classic Carolina Herrera. Maybe it’s because everyone perceives perfumes from different eras and reformulations. To my nose, this is a distinctly floral scent where a fresh, sweet neroli with green aspects of the lily of the valley takes center stage. The apricot note adds sweetness and a juicy touch without being too prominent. On my skin, the mossy base is very light and balanced, and the animalic nuances are subtle enough not to hinder enjoyment. It’s a clean, distinguished, and elegant perfume I love to wear. I feel like I’ve rescued a jewel from the past; I don’t understand why it’s not more popular, and I’m happy to dust off its scent to wear it without it being overused. I don’t know what the original version was like, although mine isn’t the latest, but aside from being very floral (which may not suit everyone), it doesn’t feel like a vintage character perfume to me. The civeta note is probably well-domesticated in my version. On my skin, it has notable sillage without ever feeling too strong, and it mellows over time. Longevity is about 10 hours. Overall, it’s an excellent wardrobe staple and I love wearing it to formal or semi-formal events when I want to convey elegance and serenity.

It’s my 90s fragrance; I feel like the scent has changed and isn’t exactly what I used back then, though I still have one. I feel it has lost some of its floral touch; before, I sensed it as a fluffy floral aroma, now I find it drier. It’s different, which is a shame. I wouldn’t wear it in summer; it seems too strong for that season, more for night than day. Although with the old version, I wore it both day and night.
Between the honeysuckle and the animalic notes, which I really dislike, I honestly almost never wear it. I keep it because my mom had it unopened in her closet for about three years, and one day I decided to try it for myself. You can tell it’s high quality, but it’s just not for me.
Carolina Herrera EDP, what an elegant white floral, with predominantly green and animalic accords. Personally, I perceive the fruity notes more as citrus, bittersweet. It’s definitely a wardrobe staple, excellent for formal gatherings as it adds a certain character and sophistication. The longevity of the eau de parfum is enviable; four or five sprays project without mercy for ten hours without issue, so it’s a hit for those who like potent perfumes. It’s definitely of a classic style, so people (regardless of age) who love “vintage” compositions, florals that make a presence, that announce your arrival, that denote authority, should give this jewel a chance; if it’s compatible with your skin, you’ll love it. The packaging is elegantly simple, with the brand’s imprint, without being loud but certainly noticeable; the quality-to-price ratio is unbeatable given the performance it offers. As a special note, those who consider this “a grandmother’s perfume” probably have a millionaire grandmother who smells exquisite and takes tea with her circle of readers, also composed of millionaires. Please don’t degrade a product just because we aren’t millionaires. Who will like it: people unafraid of success.
A classic, characterful fragrance that isn’t easy to wear but oozes class and seriousness. It features exquisite, sweet neroli embraced by ylang-ylang and the creaminess of amber. It has great projection, sillage, and an incredible skin longevity; you can tell the quality in every spritz. I wear it in cold weather or at night to make a statement. If I had to summarize it in one word: class. It screams distinction.
This perfume smells to me like flowers with pollen and honey with a touch of vintage animalic. I’ve considered buying it many times since it’s a magnificent perfume, but I’m not sure if I’d end up getting tired of it. Performance and longevity are excellent.
This perfume is exquisite, a great bouquet of neroli and orange blossoms, white with green nuances, then the fruity quince really comes through. It’s a bomb; a little goes a long way. Being a collector of vintages, I don’t detect any civet at all, surely reduced. It’s easy to recognize; no one smells alike. I’ve praised several people who wear it. I’d like to try 212, which is in the same family. DURATION: +14 hours, PROJECTION: incredible. Carolina Herrera is truly timeless.
I love the explosion of neroli and orange blossom; I think they’ve become some of my favorite scents. This perfume is an explosion of flowers and I love it. It’s just quite strong at first and can be a bit annoying, but it doesn’t matter because it’s delicious to wear all day since the longevity is excellent; it lasts all day on me. I love perfumes that create memories, that make people ask which one you’re wearing, that smell different and potent, so this is definitely one of my favorites because I love smelling like flowers.
Oh my god, thank goodness I bought a 10ml decant because I was about to order the 100ml EDP bottle. For me, the civet note ruins the perfume; it’s too prominent, projects beastily, and I didn’t like it. It feels like a medium “fecal” vibe, probably due to the civet, like smelling that little animal mixed with flowers; I’d almost say it smells like death, no offense to any fans. It’s a great perfume for its performance, but that civet note is a hard NO for my nose.
A classic… for me, it’s summer in a bottle. Wonderful white flowers and apricot, a true delight for my nose. A perfume for WOMEN in all caps. It’s been reformulated quite a bit, but it still keeps the soul it had when it launched. Fortunately, we all have different tastes; for me, this is a 10.
I had the chance to use it just once. It has a brutal trail (I smelled it from 4 meters away on the first spray). It’s one of those fragrances that identifies you in a crowd. Too floral for my taste, but ultimately it’s a great fragrance, a true classic.
Superly 90s, super classic, elegant, for a refined lady. The perfume alone dresses you up. It’s super versatile, for day or night, for the office or going out. You have to really like jasmine and neroli; those are the flowers you’ll notice the most. It’s a perfume for a regal woman. Back in university, my English teacher always asked what I was wearing because it smelled so good. I don’t know if they reformulated it, but I think this version is a bit less intense than the 90s one. It’s a classic of the classics. It’s sexy without losing elegance.
One of the great launches in perfumery. It starts with a bouquet of creamy neroli, orange blossom, green notes, and quince. Then comes the ylang-ylang with a subtle lily of the valley, always accompanied by the neroli and orange blossom. It’s linear, though there are fleeting notes. In the dry down, there’s a soft musk and amber, slightly powdery, like old-fashioned honey candies. The projection is sublime, the trail elegant, and the longevity is incredible—I wore it for about 21 hours and it felt easy, without being overwhelming. I see it as very autumnal, though it works in spring too. My bottle is current and the quality is assured. It could be the signature scent for those who love classic white florals with real neroli.
I tried it for the first time because someone gifted it to me. It smells like my grandmother—nothing youthful, but it smells amazing. It’s elegant, feminine, and potent. Perfect for a formal night if you want to make a statement and turn heads, since it smells unique and exotic. Perfumes don’t last on me due to my pH, but the power of this one shows it will. It’s not really my style since I prefer sweet and fruity scents, but it’s not bad to use occasionally. There’s a strong bitter note I can’t quite identify that gives it class. It’s perfect if you’re looking for great projection, an old-school elegant vibe, but not a typical floral.
I love it and have received many compliments. It has good sillage and projection, very floral and feminine. I think it’s not convenient for daily use; it’s not for everyone because some might perceive it as for an older woman, but fragrances have no age, and I love it.
My signature perfume for nearly 20 years, and although I vary a lot now, I still use it for special occasions.
A perfumery classic, very ELEGANT. That’s the perfect word. A woman with character, secure, and spontaneous wears it, always well-dressed. It’s not for everyone; I recommend trying before buying. I like it a lot, but it’s not for me. I adore these classics because nowadays everything is sold smelling like candies; this, gentlemen, was a perfume with body, a jewel.
Ripe peaches mixed with narcissus nectar. Rococo vintage beauty, very 80s. It represents the ostentatious, ultra-generous floral olfactive family of Poison, Amarige, and Poême. It’s one of those perfumes packed with diverse notes with a very marked, opulent floral presence. It starts bombastic to end in a thread of orange-hued, honeyed floral-fruity nectar. The vintage aura comes from the tuberose, which always turns out to be coquettish, ostentatious, and special. Floral and peach nectars, vintage style.
Classic CH is pure femininity in a bottle, zero aggression, ageless. It suits any woman comfortable in her femininity. Creamy narcissus, jasmine, and ylang-ylang, with a slight animalic touch in the base that I repeat, zero aggression. I have both versions, the vintage and the current one. It has lost density and power, but they achieved a good reformulation; it keeps its DNA intact. The masterpiece of CH 🩷
A forgotten perfume, yet inexplicable. Carolina Herrera offers a female fragrance without doubt or complex, for great ladies who impose with presence, elegance, strength, and power, without hesitation. The queen has arrived, and everyone knows it; it’s useless not to submit to the evidence. It features dense, creamy narcissus over Australian sandalwood and a floral accord that makes it rich (highlighting the narcissus), without stealing the spotlight from the narcissus, and a fruity apricot nuance that adds a sweet wink. It’s creamy, heavy flowers, precious, for people who want to stand out with this opulent, vintage scent that enters without shame and without asking permission.
In an era where it seems mandatory to smell like freshly baked pastries, this perfume still stands out. It has character and an elegance that no edible fragrance can offer.
With this proposal, Carolina Herrera started strong in the industry. Her three noses created a classic that, after almost 40 years, is still relevant. The opening is overwhelming; it can ‘scare’ any nose, but after ten or fifteen minutes, the flowers appear (narcissus, jasmine, orange blossom, daffodil, honeysuckle) that blend with animalic and woody components. The result is an incredibly realistic bouquet of white flowers. For a long time, it was my signature; I used it for everything, but in recent years, I’ve learned to wear it only in open spaces, night events, and with few sprays. I’m fascinated not just by the scent but by the longevity; it lasts me more than 24 hours. It’s incredible to feel it like a tattoo on the skin! Plus, I always receive compliments; both young and mature noses love it.
To be fair, I don’t mean to offend, but I know this is a crush for many. My mom used to wear it, and I remember that opulent, beautiful scent. When I smelled it in the atomizer, I thought, ‘It’s exactly like my mom’s!’ But once sprayed, it smells like a classic vintage fragrance, followed by old, musty wood. I’m saying it smells bad, exaggerated, like rolling around in your own urine. That kills the floral aroma that reappears for only a short time. In the end, all that’s left is a smell of algae and musty wood. What a disappointment. I keep it in my collection, but not for long.
It’s been my signature since my teens… now I’ve rediscovered it. It remains a masterpiece, though underrated. Although it has been reformulated, it retains almost the same scent. It’s no longer beast mode; it doesn’t project or last 24 hours like before; unfortunately, it was discontinued, but I managed to get a backup. It’s for women who want to stand out, over 30, who know what they want and hit hard. It goes great with an executive, an empowered leader. It’s floral, green, white, and yellow. The Tuberose stands out with that animalic touch of algae. Now it’s synthetic, thank God. I remember they said it smelled like cat pee, and honestly, I felt it too. It’s not current; it has a vintage touch. Not for blind buying or gifting. Not suitable for those sensitive to Tuberose and Hyacinth.
