The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2007 by Carolina Herrera, CH is a fragrance that captures the essence of modern elegance and sophistication. Created by perfumers Olivier Cresp and Rosendo Mateu, it opens with a vibrant burst of citrus from bergamot, grapefruit, and Amalfi lemon, which immediately infuses the air with freshness and brightness. The heart blends praline sweetness with cinnamon's warmth and the delicate florals of jasmine and rose tincture, creating a harmonious balance that is both inviting and alluring. As it settles into its base notes of suede, patchouli, sandalwood, and musk, CH transforms into an enveloping woody-musky scent that exudes confidence and comfort.
Apply CH to pulse points for a subtle yet lasting effect. The citrus notes are most prominent initially but give way to the warm, woody base over time, so it's best worn in layers throughout the day.
