Stallion Leather is a bold reimagination of Carolina Herrera’s equestrian heritage

The Herrera Confidential Collection, Carolina Herrera's most personal high perfumery line, is also a compilation of family memories. Now, a new documentary series directed and produced by Robin and Oliver Clive delves into its mythology. The first chapter, Stallion Leather, unveils a fascinating story starring Mrs. Herrera — who was an avid equestrian enthusiast during her teenage years — and Balaclava, her favorite childhood racing horse.

Stallion Leather revisits this tale to present a love letter to one of the most extraordinary and intense notes in perfumery — smoked leather — transforming this fragrance into an unconventional, powerful, and romantic scent.

A Precious Ode

Stallion Leather, the newest addition to the Herrera Confidential luxury fragrance collection, was born out of the family history of Carolina Herrera. A love letter to nature, beauty, and strength, it is based on floral, spicy, and leather notes that evoke memories of Balaclava – a fabulous racing horse that Carolina Herrera used to ride every day in her teenage years and considered her lucky talisman ever since.
