I recommend it 100%
It is the newest thing about Carolina Herrera, and of all this was my favorite. Its aroma is very fresh and at the same time elegant . I really liked it.

Nursing home in a bottle.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This perfume absolutely stinks in the worst ways. I was excited based off the description, but this honestly smells just like white shoulders on an 85 year old woman.
That's oddly specific, but working in long term medical care I can tell you this is for sure a GRANNY scent.
This perfume is an old money perfume, where you're so rich you don't care if you stink.
I will absolutely not be purchasing this or reccomending it to anyone. The little bottle will be donated.

Smells great but doesn't last long
I wanted a clean perfume for winter and truly loved the smell at store. However it's not lasting more than 2hrs..kinda disappointed.

Perfect go -to perfume
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been really enjoying Carolina Herrera Mad World. The bergamot notes stand out right away, giving it a fresh, bright start that feels uplifting without being too sharp. It has that clean, slightly citrusy edge that I love in a perfume. As it settles, it keeps a nice balance—unique but still wearable every day. Definitely one of those fragrances that makes you feel put together without trying too hard. I don’t have the original size packaging, so I have nothing to say on that. But definitely slight value for your money.

Smells fine but doesn't last well
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although I wouldn't have chosen this perfume on my own, I enjoyed it more than I expected. I really like the black tea notes combined with the bergamot. I think the tea balances the bergamot from being too citrus smelling. The projection is okay but not the greatest. It came in a little red box that looks different than the regular bottle. I enjoy Carolina Herrera fragrances but this was not my favorite.

Nice tea note
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I enjoyed this fragrance. It’s not my favorite scent ever but I did enjoy the tea note. I definitely a fan of more subtle fragrances and I think this one fit the bill.

Super great balance of notes.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product complimentary in exchange for my honest review. The fragrance was truly delightful—noticeable but not overwhelming. It had a soft, feminine quality that felt perfectly balanced, making it a joy to wear. The scent lasted a good amount of time, lingering pleasantly without fading too quickly. Overall, I really enjoyed the experience and am considering purchasing it in the future. I would definitely recommend giving it a try!

Earthy and captivating
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love love the smell of this perfume. It’s very earthy but with a hint of aroma flowers. It’s not too strong and not overpowering. It feels light in the skin and it last the whole day. This perfume smells fresh and it has that aroma scent that can captivate your senses. I actually feel energetic when I spray it on the back of my ears. Price is worth buying for. You will not be disappointed. If you want a light but captivating smell. This is the perfume for you

Love this
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This smells so good. It smells like fresh flowers with a hint of tea, would be a great everyday wear. I only got a travel size but would definitely buy a bigger size.

Smells good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very surprised with how small this sample is lol but it smells good no less. It’s a fruity smell which I love. Nice size to keep in my wallet or purse. I’d say it lasts a while when I wear it.

Not bad
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am not sure how to feel about this perfume. Although the smell isn’t bad, I don’t think it’s one I would personally wear. I feel like it would smell better maybe as a candle. It’s a little soft but musky smelling almost. The packaging is cute and simple.

Floral with a fruity smoke to it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I gave the amount of stars based on the longevity of the perfume and the price point. This lasts all day with minimal amount used, that is a huge plus in this economy. The scent itself is not for me, it’s a nice light floral scent and the die down becomes a bit fruity with a bit of smoke. I light florals but something about this one just didn’t mix well with my chemistry. I love other perfume from this brand this was just not a favorite for me.
