CH Pasión for Him
by Carolina Herrera
CH Pasión for Him is a softly woody, warm, and powdery fragrance with notable iris, vanilla, and sandalwood tones. It opens with a green, slightly dusty frankincense and neroli burst that gives way to a smooth, creamy blend of amber, myrrh, and Australian sandalwood. The vanilla and amber notes create a soft gourmand sweetness, while the iris adds a delicate powdered floral nuance that becomes more prominent in the dry down. The scent evolves from an initially bright and fresh opening to a deeper, earthy, and slightly smoky base, giving it a layered, introspective character. It performs best when worn, as it improves significantly in presence and complexity after initial application. The fragrance carries a moderate sillage and long-lasting wear, making it especially suitable for evening occasions, autumn, and winter wear.
