This floral amber opens with a blast of indolic, animalic, fiery jasmine set ablaze by pink pepper. Carine is zhuzhed up with rose and gardenia, while the patchouli hints at a raw and wild soul. All the while, cashmeran and vetiver exude elegance and refinement. For me it’s a beautiful balancing act that perfectly conveys someone equally artistic and stylish.

Carine surprised me - it’s not a brand I was familiar with and this is the first and only scent I’ve tried from them. Initially it opens up with the most wonderful rose and patchouli combination - the rose is dark, crimson and slightly jammy whilst the patchouli is slightly earthy and deliciously smooth. As you can tell I absolutely love the opening on this one, but unfortunately after a couple of minutes this lovely accord becomes dominated by fairly typical white florals. For me, this flattens the overall scent and leaves it smelling quite boring in a way - it would’ve been fantastic as a classic rose-patch combo. If this fragrance was linear from its opening and continued that deliciousness, I would have bought a bottle of this straight away. But unfortunately, the white florals let it down for me and so this is not a love overall.
