WoodyWhat does Carita (1997) smell like?
Its longevity is rated moderate, though few people have voted, so that is only a rough guide. It is made for women, and no single season or occasion stands out.
The top notes of bergamot, mandarin orange and raspberry open fresh and fruity. Ylang-ylang, jasmine, lily of the valley and May rose turn the heart into a floral garden. The base of Bourbon vanilla, orris root and musk closes it in a powdery, gourmand, slightly woody sweetness. Chloé SeeByChloé and Givenchy Dance with Givenchy have a close profile.
