The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2017, Orange Affair by Carolina Herrera is a vibrant Floral Fruity fragrance that captures the essence of citrus freshness and floral sweetness. The composition opens with bright notes of Citron and Mandarin Orange, followed by the green aromatic nuances of Petitgrain. As it develops, Orange Blossom introduces a delicate floral element, while Rhubarb adds an unexpected touch of tartness. Almond and Tonka Bean bring warmth and depth to the heart, before settling into a sweet, musky base that lingers softly on the skin.
Apply this fragrance with two light sprays to capture its full range. The bright citrus opening will fade within an hour, but the warm, sweet base notes will linger throughout the day. Best suited for daytime wear when you want a fresh, uplifting scent.
