Meet Carolina Herrera's new fragrance, Cedar Chic Eau de Parfum – a woody-floral scent that brings soft refinement, confidence and modern sophistication into your life, inspired by the timeless style of the white shirt.

A new addition to the Carolina Herrera collection

Released in 2025, Carolina Herrera Cedar Chic Eau de Parfum belongs to the brand's Herrera Confidential collection and adds a new dimension to it. The fragrance is inspired by timeless elegance, embodied by Carolina Herrera's famous white shirt – a garment the designer has worn since childhood and which has found its way into every one of her collections. The scent was created by perfumer Antoine Maisondieu. This woody-floral fragrance is made for women and men alike who appreciate refined style and modern sophistication. The pearly lacquered glass bottle recalls the flow of silk and reflects the scent's soft, confident character. It is an ideal choice for anyone who wants to wear timeless elegance every day.

Timeless elegance and subtle softness

Cedar Chic takes you into the world of Carolina Herrera, where timeless elegance and subtle softness come together in the spirit of the classic white shirt. The fragrance is designed to give the wearer confidence and a modern feel, and it is equally universal for men and women. The simplicity and purity of the bottle echo the minimalist charm of the white shirt – it feels like wearing something timelessly beautiful. This is a scent for those who want to express a refined taste, whether for a daytime meeting or an evening event.

A captivating composition: the fragrance notes

Cedar Chic Eau de Parfum is a woody-floral aldehydic fragrance built from carefully chosen notes to deliver a refined and elegant experience. The main layers of the scent:

  • Top notes: clean cotton accord, bergamot, sparkling aldehydes – a fresh, bright opening reminiscent of freshly laundered cotton linen.
  • Heart notes: orange blossom and white flowers – a delicate floral heart that adds elegance.
  • Base notes: three different cedarwood extracts and soft white musk – a warm, creamy dry-down that leaves a subtle trail.

The scent opens with the freshness of a clean cotton accord and bergamot, lifted by sparkling aldehydes, moves on to the softness of orange blossom and white flowers, and finishes on a warm base of cedarwood and white musk. It is also a good choice for the cooler months, offering a versatile style.

First impression: a fresh opening

When you spray Cedar Chic Eau de Parfum on your skin, you are greeted by a fresh opening of clean cotton and bergamot that instantly creates a bright, clean first impression. Sparkling aldehydes add zest to the opening, recalling a fresh morning. After a few moments the scent begins to soften and makes room for the heart notes of orange blossom and white flowers, which add a gentle elegance. The first impression is light and radiant, and it suits spring days perfectly.

Development through the day

Cedar Chic develops over the course of the day and offers a versatile fragrance experience that adapts to different situations. In the morning, the freshness of clean cotton and bergamot brings out lightness and confidence – ideal for the start of the day, for example at the office. As the day goes on, the heart notes of orange blossom and white flowers come forward, adding a subtle elegance that also suits lunch with friends. By the end of the day, the base notes of cedarwood and white musk emerge, giving a warm, soft undertone and a soothing afterglow.

Evening charm: warmth and depth

In the evening, Cedar Chic reveals its warm and deep side, making it an ideal companion for evening events. The orange blossom and white flower notes are still present, but cedarwood and white musk begin to dominate, bringing out a creamy, warm undertone that adds depth to the scent. Over time the cedarwood itself becomes more multifaceted, revealing green, spicy and slightly sweet shades. This warmth is perfect for evening gatherings, be it a party or a romantic dinner. The fragrance leaves a subtle yet noticeable trail.

Long wear: a lasting trail

Cedar Chic is designed to deliver a long-lasting fragrance experience. The balanced composition – clean freshness, the softness of orange blossom and the warmth of cedarwood – stays on the skin for a long time and evolves according to your skin chemistry. The sillage is moderate: a subtle but noticeable aura that is elegant and fits many settings, whether the office or an evening event. This makes the scent a great choice for anyone looking for a lasting signature style.

Your choice: who it suits

Cedar Chic suits women and men who appreciate a refined, understated scent that expresses timeless elegance. If you enjoy fresh bergamot and aldehyde notes, the floral heart of orange blossom and the warm base of cedarwood, this fragrance is ideal for you, especially in spring and autumn. It works for everyday wear as well as special occasions.
