The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2010 by Carolina Herrera, CH Red & Gold is a fragrance that captures the essence of precious moments imbued with joy and sentimentality. The scent opens with a sparkling burst of bergamot, which quickly gives way to a heart blossoming with Bulgarian rose and Sambac jasmine, accented by luscious praline and cinnamon. As it settles, the composition reveals a warm base of sandalwood, cedar, patchouli, and amber, creating an enveloping blend that is both elegant and comforting.
CH Red & Gold has moderate longevity and sillage, so aim for two sprays to ensure it stays close to your skin throughout the day. The praline and cinnamon notes are bright but fleeting, while the amber and woody base provide a lasting warmth that pairs well with evening events.
