Chic

Chic by Carolina Herrera is a refined, fresh floral scent with a pronounced white floral and citrus opening, featuring Bulgarian rose and tuberose as top notes. It evolves into a soft, creamy floral heart with freesia, lily-of-the-valley, and orange blossom, culminating in a warm, musky base with vanilla, sandalwood, and white musk. The scent is best described as youthful, flirty, and elegant, with moderate sillage and a moderate-to-long longevity. It suits spring and summer days and is appreciated as a wearable, daytime fragrance that projects quietly but pleasantly. Some find it overly sweet or chemically sharp in its initial stages, while others praise its nostalgic '00s elegance and fresh, clean quality reminiscent of a just-showered feel. Many users note a significant shift in the scent with newer versions, with older bottles reportedly being more balanced and floral, while current versions are criticized for being less complex, thin, or even harsh. Perceived as more consistently pleasant on skin, it's celebrated by those who appreciate quietly classic, girly florals without overwhelming power or drama.
