{"product_id":"carolina-herrera-ch-eau-de-toilette-bts14730","title":"CH Eau de Toilette","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere is nothing minimal about Carolina Herrera CH Eau de Toilette. It is a full, warm women's fragrance of the kind that was standard before everything on the counter turned transparent and clean, and it has outlived most of its contemporaries. Citrus does the introductions and then leaves. Bergamot and grapefruit give a few bright minutes, the grapefruit with a bitter rind edge, and by the ten minute mark the flowers have taken charge. Bulgarian rose is the centre of the whole thing, deep and dark rather than dewy, and sambac jasmine thickens it with a sweet, almost waxy heaviness. The finish is the part worth paying for. Praline sits in the base, toasted and sugary without being sickly, and patchouli grounds it with something earthy and faintly damp, so the sweetness always has dirt underneath it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe concentration matters here. As an eau de toilette the composition is lifted and thinned a little, which stops the rose and the praline becoming too much, and it means you can spray properly rather than dabbing. Four to six hours is normal, longer on wool. It suits cold mornings, long dinners and anyone who wants to smell like an adult rather than a dessert, which is a fine line to walk with materials like these. Six in total, worked into three clean stages, and the last of those stages is the one that sells the bottle. Anybody who has worn it will tell you the base is the point. Olivier Cresp and Rosendo Mateu are the perfumers, and the composition dates from 2007.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a New York house, built by Carolina Herrera on the strength of a 1981 collection, and its fragrances have carried a Puig licence since 1988.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carolina Herrera","offers":[{"title":"30ml","offer_id":53297029185863,"sku":"BTS14730","price":67.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"100ml","offer_id":54425428001095,"sku":"BTS322545","price":116.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/5049\/1463\/files\/eng18438.jpg?v=1770502943","url":"https:\/\/thescentvault.ie\/products\/carolina-herrera-ch-eau-de-toilette-bts14730","provider":"The Scent Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
