The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2004, Crystal Chic by Carolina Herrera is an Oriental Floral fragrance that embodies the brand's signature elegance and sophistication. The composition opens with Bulgarian Rose, Red Berries, and Red Freesia, creating a bright and fresh top note that transitions seamlessly into a heart of Jasmine and Orange Blossom. These floral notes are complemented by the warm spiciness of Pimento and Indian Tuberose before settling into a base of Bourbon Vanilla, Sandalwood, Amber, and Ambrette (Musk Mallow). This blend creates a harmonious balance between freshness and warmth, making it a versatile choice for various occasions.
Apply two sprays to pulse points in the morning for optimal longevity. The fragrance blooms over time, so it's best not to layer too heavily at once. This scent reads better close to skin rather than across a room, making it ideal for daytime wear.
