CH Central Park

The quiet respite found in an urban park — where the crispness of white pepper meets the lush greenery, and tuberose adds a subtle sweetness.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016, CH Central Park by Carolina Herrera is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance crafted by perfumer Olivier Cresp. It opens with the freshness of white pepper and plum, leading into a heart of jasmine and orange blossom before settling into a base of tuberose, white musk, ambrette (musk mallow), and cedar. This composition captures the essence of an urban oasis — the crispness of its opening notes gives way to the warmth and comfort of its base, creating a harmonious blend that is both fresh and enveloping.

How to wear it

Apply CH Central Park sparingly to let its layers unfold gradually. The fresh spicy notes are noticeable initially but give way to the rich base notes over time. Ideal for daytime wear when you want a fragrance that evolves throughout the day.
