Chic by Carolina Herrera

For: women Designer: Carolina Herrera Olfactive Group: Floral

Chic is light, but elegant, coloured in red, of course, because this colour is very feminine; it is not virgin-like, but passionate. The real chic lies in constrasts: when the simple becomes complicated, because it encourages thinking and has a magical, influential power. For this purpose the simple and magical red colour was chosen, the shape of the bottle is simple, and the fragrance itself is a perfect balance between freshness and graceful sensuality. The top notes include Bulgarian rose and red freesia, the middle ones mandarin blossom and orange; the base voluptuous vanilla and white musk. The noses behind this fragrance are Alberto Morillas and Jacques Cavallier.

It's fresh and citrusy when it starts then it gets more floral and warmer and warmer with tones of beautiful roses! Finally, it calms down into a slightly sweet, slightly green and creamy-rosy scent. Can be girlish, yes, but can also be very seductive when you want to have a soft and light perfume on. Nothing REALLY special, but absolutely feminine. I would say its idea is a bit similar to Miracle So Magic's, but this one is more elegant and just a little deeper, more mature. If you say it's also similar to Arden's Ardenbeauty, you're right, but Ardenbeauty is sharper, greener and more edgy. Anyway, Chic is a beautiful perfume for summer, or for everyday, and can be worn at any age!

Citrus fresh opening... and then... nothing, nothing and even more nothing. I can hardly smell anything!

But after about two hours it surprice me with a pretty, creamy and lovely basenote that seem to come from nowhere.

Maybe nice with the right chemistry, but unfortunatly not for me. Pretty on my daughter tough, and also smellable.

From a design perspective the bottle, name & colour choice really do not fit the scent that is lingering on my wrist.

Red should be a voluptous, punchy, hot, dangerously sexy woman. The bottle is minimalisitic to the point of actually being boring, too safe. Chic - fashionable & elegant? Well....

It is an intimate, light, girly-floral scent. I really smell rose & freesia, orange blossom, with a some-what synthetic sweet, vanilla undertone. It has a slight citrussy quality & is pleasantly fresh - the smell you get as a young woman steps out of shower, pale pink & curvy.

As it develops, it just gets sweeter on me, with very little depth coming through, which is a great disappointment, as I love how fragrances play on the skin.

If you love safe, flirty, girly-nonsense, sunshine-sweet florals, you'll eat this up. But, IMO, it really lacks substance & seems cheaper than its pricetag.

I really like this fragrance. I first smelled it in 2002, when it first came out on a friend and I was allured by the zingy, vibrant perfume she was wearing. Years later, I still thought about it and purchased it. Yes, this perfume is young, lively, and effervescent in quality. It is sweet and fresh, perfect for spring.

Firstly I didn't like it much but after weared it for 2 weeks I think it so nice scent. Feel fresh from orange blossom & freesia, sweet from rose & vanila.

Opens up with an alcohol cloud blast, and then the freesia scent jumps out at you. I didn't like the alcohol start one bit. It is growing on me the more I wear it though. It has a warm, clean, and kind of girlish scent to it. If you're a freesia fan then I'm guessing you might like it, but I would sample it first to be on the safe side. :)

Editing to say the alcohol smell never completely went away. It stayed in the background, and I felt like I could even taste it every now and then.. eww! I kept it on for 2 hours and then had to wash it off.
