The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1994 by Carolina Herrera, Flore was created by perfumers Carlos Benaïm and Rosendo Mateu. This unisex fragrance opens with a burst of green notes and aldehydes, creating an instantly fresh and crisp atmosphere that feels invigorating yet delicate. The heart is dominated by floral accords such as lily-of-the-valley, jasmine, lilac, and rose, which blend harmoniously to evoke the essence of a blooming garden. The base notes introduce a warm woody and powdery finish with musk and sandalwood, grounding the composition with a subtle sophistication.
Flore is best applied to pulse points for a gradual build-up. The green and aldehydic top notes are bright but fleeting, so allow the scent to settle on your skin before heading out. This fragrance is particularly suited for daytime wear, as its fresh and floral character complements the warmth of the day without overpowering.
