Launched in 1997, AquaFlore by Carolina Herrera is a floral green fragrance that captures the essence of freshness and elegance. Created by perfumers Carlos Benaïm and Rosendo Mateu, this scent opens with a vibrant mix of violet, melon, peach, and mandarin orange, providing an immediate burst of brightness. The heart notes of cyclamen, jasmine, lily-of-the-valley, and rose add a delicate floral bouquet that is both soft and alluring. The base notes of orris root, sandalwood, amber, and musk provide depth without overpowering the lighter top layers.

Application Tips
For best effect, apply AquaFlore to pulse points. The top notes are vibrant but fleeting, so let it settle before heading out. This fragrance is designed to be close to skin rather than filling a room, making it ideal for daytime wear.
