About This Perfume
Think clean laundry musk with lavender and warm spice: that is Carrera (original). It opens with lavender, bergamot and coriander, moves into ginger, anise and cloves and settles on musk, cedar and tonka bean. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring, summer and fall and is a daytime scent. Reach for it for casual days and the office. Released in 1988.
In the community's experience it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something fresh and aromatic for casual days.
- Sample first if: aromatic is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike fresh spicy fragrances.
Around $39.
