Scent that spells style

GOOD GIRL: SYNONYMOUS WITH ELEGANCE, FEMINITY

- Thami Kwazi

When one thinks of timeless elegance, bold femininity and an unapologetic celebration of glamour, the name Carolina Herrera easily comes to mind. Known for her impeccable personal style and iconic fashion house, Herrera has reigned as a tastemaker for decades.

But beyond the runways of New York and the red carpets of Hollywood, her influence has also blossomed in the world of fragrance, where her Good Girl collection has become one of the most recognizable and best-loved ranges in beauty.

Herrera, the Venezuelan-born designer, entered the fashion world in the early 1980s with her debut runway show in New York City.

Quickly establishing herself as a designer for women of sophistication and strength, her collections became synonymous with refined glamour.

Her gowns graced first ladies from Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis to Michelle Obama, and her fashion house remains one of the pillars of luxury design.

But she was not content with conquering just one part of the industry.

In 1988, she ventured into beauty, launching her first fragrance, simply named Carolina Herrera.

It marked the beginning of a thriving extension of her brand.

The scents carried the same DNA as her gowns: elegant, striking and undeniably feminine.
