Coup de foudre...I’m in love
I have realised quickly into my fragrance journey that there are some houses whose style and offering I love, even if they offered a simple cologne. Carolina Herrera confidential line for me is a line that I can safely say I like everything they have. I haven’t disliked any perfume so far, but oh dear I have loved a few.
I find they are subtle, unique and beautiful.
Today I tried 4 from the line, 3 of which have become a love! Sandal Ruby stood out, after the spicy opening, it settled into a white flower fragrance, which fresh tuberose and maybe a hint of jasmine just slightly green! It’s just the right level of florals, sensual without being cloying. As I enjoyed my coffee, I continued to get whiffs of the tuberose, trying to place it somewhere..maybe closer to Diptyque Do Son..not quite as green as carnal flower. At this stage, it was nice flowery western fragrance. However, as it dried down it became a bit more Woody oriental and reminded me of burning rose from The same line. Do they share the same DNA like the famous Guerlinade?..the patchouli is sweet, I could’ve sworn it had amber even though it’s not listed. It didn’t seem like it had a huge trail, it’s subtle and felt more of skin scent , a beautiful skin scent May I add. I’m in love but as we all know how fickle the heart of a parfumista is... so who knows how long this love will last.

The Fragrant Bridge
At the beginning: I had never seen or smelled the fragrances from the Confidential collection by Carolina Herrera before. So I was all the happier to sniff them out at "el corte ingles" in Barcelona ;-)
In contrast to other counters like Guerlain and Chanel, I was treated and advised super kindly by the nice saleswoman here. First, I wildly sniffed through all the bottles of this line. I got stuck on "burning rose," which initially had a wonderful velvety rose-with-a-bit-of-ginger combination. Sandal Ruby smelled quite aggressively of cinnamon when sniffed on the paper strip... the saleswoman then gave me a sample of "burning rose" and this fragrance here and said I should test both in peace. Well.... five hours later, I re-entered the department store ;-)

Now to the scent:
The opening begins with a massive dose of cinnamon, which in no way reminds one of Christmas cookies or anything similar. On the contrary: The cinnamon makes you stroll through a spice bazaar in the Orient, while the heat of the desert stirs up other strong spices.
After a smooth transition, geranium and tuberose (probably also jasmine) invite you to dream of a vacation in southern France. The spices now play a complementary role, but remain more in the background.
Slowly, sandalwood and patchouli come into play, giving the entire composition depth and a certain allure! You can definitely sense the quality of these two fragrance notes; there was no stinginess here, and nothing was "watered down."

The effect of this fragrance is simply beautifully mysterious and glamorous! A fragrant bridge between the East and the West! All in all, I am really glad to have this gem in my collection! Unfortunately, the Confidential collection by Carolina Herrera is really rarely encountered, and I would absolutely advise against blind purchases of this fragrance as well!
