by Carolina Herrera
Flore by Carolina Herrera is a rich, formal floral chypre with a bright aldehydic opening that evolves into a complex bouquet centered on lily-of-the-valley, iris, and subtle green freshness. The fragrance is elegant, mature, and distinctly feminine, drawing comparisons to Diorissimo—though it feels more expansive and structured, with deeper woody and musky base notes. Initial impressions can be sharp or overwhelming, with a soapy, aldehydic facet that some find heavy or even unpleasant at first, but this resolves into a refined, long-lasting floral trail. The scent is most enjoyable in cooler weather, particularly spring or early summer, and performs best when worn with confidence. It possesses substantial sillage and impressive longevity, making it ideal for formal occasions, weddings, or days where you want to make a strong but polished impression.
