The Brand
Carine Roitfeld
Carine Roitfeld, the former editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris, lends her name to 9 eaux de parfum on Scendira, each priced at about $290. The most discussed are Forgive Me, Carine and Kar-Wai, three very different florals.
Forgive Me, Carine and Kar-Wai
Forgive Me (2023) smells like creamy white florals with a spicy resin glow, opening on pink pepper, Tunisian orange blossom and tangerine over patchouli, labdanum and olibanum.
Fresh green florals spiced with gardenia petals describe Carine (2022), which dries down to patchouli, cashmeran and vetiver.
Kar-Wai (2019) is soft floral tea with leather and cardamom on skin, with Turkish rose and osmanthus in its notes.
