Stallion Leather perfume by Carolina Herrera combines flowers and leather notes to welcome the holy month with luxury
With the advent of the holy month and the beginning of the spring season. Where flowers bloom, Carolina Herrera presents Stallion Leather, the new fragrance that combines the floral and leather notes we have been craving for all this month.
An aromatic combination that symbolizes success and good luck
The new Stallion Leather fragrance from the Herrera Confidential collection is inspired by its distinctive combination of the elements of love, nature, beauty and strength, as it is characterized by floral, pepper and leather notes. The luxurious scent is inspired by the balaclava, the racehorse that Carolina Herrera rode every day during her teenage years, and which she has considered a good luck charm ever since. The luxurious fragrance comes in a light brown bottle, representing a true symbol of success and distinction.
Long friendship history
The brand draws innovation elements for the development of the new fragrance and the rest of the fragrances in the collection from the history of the Carolina Herrera family, as Carolina A. Herrera, Creative Director of Beauty at the brand, created the distinctive scent with a mixture of warm and sweet notes, in honor of her mother and her bold personality. “The new fragrance draws its inspiration from the Balaclava, the racing horse my mother owned during her teenage years in Caracas, which was a gift from her father for her fifteenth birthday, and she considered the horse a priceless jewel,” says Carolina. The horse lived for many years at the country club in Caracas, and Carolina Herrera used to visit him whenever she got the chance after moving to New York. She adds, “For my mother, the horse brought good luck and helped her achieve amazing things in her life.”
The horse's beauty, strength and agility, as well as feelings of nostalgia for the days of youth and the drive to achieve achievements, embody the main elements that distinguish the new fragrance to match the luxurious fragrances in the distinctive Herrera Confidential collection. The new fragrance reflects Carolina Herrera's passion for Arabian horses and the Arab world, which has inspired the brand in many creations since the beginning of its career.
The brand relies on designing the promotional campaign for the new fragrance on the love of horses inherent in its identity, as it was photographed in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The campaign features Marwa Al Hashemi, an Emirati equestrian who is the perfect embodiment of the strength and elegance of the new scent. The talented knight reflects the fragrance's bold identity and the brand's philosophy of achieving success, through the exceptional campaign and her personal life. Marwa Al Hashemi wanted to represent Emirati women in all walks of life through her work in the media. And she continued to enhance her passion for horse riding in several amazing achievements represented by winning prominent regional races and obtaining a prominent position in the list of the top ten jockeys in the Dubai Crown Prince Endurance Race for women.
After Al Hashemi heard the story and message of the new fragrance, she said: “I have a special bond with Carolina Herrera thanks to our shared passion and love for horses. I am proud of the exceptional opportunity that has allowed me to be part of a campaign that reflects my identity and heritage linked to the identity of the ancient brand that I adore. The fragrance felt personal and authentic to me, reminding me of familiar blends that have been passed down in my family for generations.”
The words of Abdullah Aljumah, the influential Saudi writer and travel lover, expressed the power of the new fragrance and the deep feelings it suggests. Aljumah's love of travel is inspired by his passion for his country's culture and ancient heritage. His distinctive poems add a special luster to Marwa's strong and elegant personality in the campaign, by singing about the power of Arabian horses, the vast Saudi desert, and the distinctive leather notes of the perfume. He says, “From the first moment, I felt an amazing bond that brought me together with the distinctive story of the fragrance that reflects the ancient Arab traditions and their pride in purebred horses, which encouraged me to write a few lines about the ability of distinguished horses to inspire me and inspire others to achieve dreams.”
Distinctive notes that carry a message of love and success
Carolina A. Herrera created Stallion Leather in collaboration with master perfumer Jordi Fernández of Givaudan. The collaboration succeeded in creating a scent rich in amber, floral notes and leather in a perfect blend that combines elements of strength and delicacy, in harmony with the brand's distinctive fashion collections.
The top notes give a lively character inspired by the strength and speed of horse races, as the spicy elements of ginger blend with the scent of leather in a unique contrast. The leather also reflects another aspect of the world of Carolina Herrera, represented by the leather workshops in Spain, in which the brand produces the finest bags, relying on the distinctive craftsmanship skills and using the best materials. Carolina A. Herrera says: “Leather is my favorite scent, as it transports me in an instant to the artisan workshops that create the brand's bags and accessories. It is an elegant scent with strong classic touches that gives a special and bold sparkle, especially when it is blended with the unique scent of ginger in the unexpected composition of the new fragrance.”
As for the middle notes, it smells of osmanthus flower and jasmine as a tribute to Carolina's mother in her love of the jasmine flower that filled the country club where her horse hosted the Balaclava. Herrera recalls her mother's opinion of jasmine's constant association with success, adding: "I share my mother's love for the jasmine flower."
The lively scent of citrus flower, incense and patchouli enrich the base notes, to give a fragrant scent that enhances the elegance of the leather with its natural ingredients. “I have always loved using the attractive scent of resin and strong woods in creating base notes, to provide a fragrant, long-lasting scent, as they are the secret behind the distinction of perfumes in general and the new perfume in particular.”
the bottle
Each fragrance in the Herrera Confidential collection has a unique design. The philosophy of the brand's signature fragrances revolves around elements of transparency and luminosity, so the luxurious collection is full of bold and attractive colors inspired by the colors of precious stones. The bottle of the new perfume is distinguished by the color of the orange-yellow oud, which reflects the elegance of natural leather with a touch of golden-brown, to give it a luxurious look that suits the elegance of special occasions.
The distinctive fragrance combines the elements of vitality, beauty, talent, standards of sophistication and creativity in a composition rich in oud that guarantees the realization of dreams and successes. In doing so, the unique combination reflects the brand's four-century legacy of achieving victories and achievements.
