The story behind the bottle.
Pierre-Constantin Guéros crafted Gold Incense for Carolina Herrera in 2017, weaving together an intricate blend of warm spices and rich woods that define its character. This fragrance opens with a sharp note of cinnamon, which gives way to the earthy warmth of marigold and the fresh zest of bergamot. As it settles into its base notes, Gold Incense reveals a complex blend of labdanum, atlas cedar, incense, vanilla, sandalwood, and musk. The result is an olfactory experience that feels both cozy and expansive, like curling up in a plush armchair surrounded by the comforting scents of smoky incense and warm amber.
Gold Incense has a long-lasting presence and moderate sillage. Apply it to pulse points for a warm embrace throughout the day. Given its richness, one or two sprays are sufficient; it builds on skin gradually without needing heavy application.
