The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Lucky Charm, launched by Carolina Herrera in 2022 and crafted by perfumers Natalie Gracia-Cetto and Roxanne Kirkpatrick, is a blend of powdery warmth and subtle fruitiness. The composition opens with the bright zest of mandarin orange and mirabelle, giving way to the soft floral notes of iris and jasmine. At its heart lies a comforting woody base, anchored by sandalwood and vanilla that add a touch of sweetness and depth.

How to wear it

Apply Lucky Charm to pulse points for a long-lasting warmth. The mandarin orange top notes are bright but fleeting, so focus on layering to let the comforting woody base do its work throughout the day.
