CH Men Insignia Carolina Herrera 2018

Insignia opens urgently with spices of cinnamon and saffron, followed by a luminous floral heart of rose and violet with a woody base. The oud here is imaginary. I expected a synthetic oud at least, but even that is not detectable. In a nutshell, Insignia has the classic CH DNA, enhanced with a spiced rose and no oud. Strong introduction, but dries down rather subtle. Not all fragrances have to be "beast mode", but I wasn't really impressed by the performance here. While this release is every bit designer, it is a good designer choice that I would place alongside fragrances like 1 Million Elixir. In addition, a stunning bottle with weight to make up for the lack of power behind the glass.
