Launched in 2018 by Carolina Herrera, CH Insignia is an Oriental Woody fragrance that marries the warmth of amber and leather with the complexity of oud and smoky incense. Perfumers Olivier Cresp and Hamid Merati-Kashani have crafted a scent that balances fresh spicy notes like saffron and coriander against rich, woody accords such as cedar and guaiac wood. The result is a fragrance that feels both lasting and modern, with a depth that makes it suitable for any occasion.

Application Tips
Two sprays on pulse points will allow this fragrance's layers to unfold gradually. The smoky and spicy top notes are fleeting, so it’s best to let the warm leather and woody base take center stage for a more nuanced experience throughout the day.
