The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2019, Emerald Musk by Carolina Herrera is a sophisticated blend of powdery musk and rich leather notes. This composition opens with the fresh zing of pink pepper, quickly giving way to a heart of leather, orris, and rose that creates an intriguing tension between earthy warmth and floral softness. The base notes of musk, vanilla bean, and amber provide a comforting and enveloping finish. Emerald Musk exemplifies Carolina Herrera’s signature elegance with its balance of modernity and lasting sophistication.
Apply this fragrance lightly to let its powdery and musky notes develop naturally. The base notes bloom slowly over time, so one or two sprays will suffice for lasting warmth throughout the day.
