Description
The St. Regis Caroline's Four Hundred Candle by Arquiste Parfumeur transports you to the opulent Gilded Age of New York, drawing inspiration from Mrs. Caroline Astor's legendary balls. This fragrance opens with a fresh, green burst of American Beauty roses, hyacinth, and verdant stems, evoking grand floral arrangements. As it develops, a heart of white lilies, carnation, and violet leaf emerges, adding a delicate yet rich floral complexity. The scent settles into a sophisticated base of quince, apple, cherry blossom, cedar, and oak wood, capturing the exotic woods of a ballroom and the subtle sweetness of fruit blossoms. It's a naturalistic and elegant floral experience, designed to recreate the ambiance of a bygone era. Perfumer: Rodrigo Flores-Roux
