Amazonian Rose, the ultimate tribute to a fashion icon
Dressed in her signature red, Amazonian Rose is a fragrant ode to Carolina Herrera – a celebration of her passion, personality and success, rooted in the lush landscape of Latin America. Floral, tropical, romantic and vibrant, this opulent new addition to the Herrera Confidential fragrance collection is an intoxicating blend of spicy Guatemalan cardamom, delicate Damask rose and sweet, ambery Mexican copal.
The Scent
Drawing inspiration from the Rose of Venezuela flower – which has no scent – perfumer Nicolas Bonneville has crafted an opulent floral-woody eau de parfum based on the scent of rose but with unmistakably Amazonian accents.
The Notes
Fresh, spicy top notes of sustainably sourced Guatemalan cardamom stand out, opening a path to the heart of the perfume: a blend of damask rose and passion fruit – romance and freshness, femininity and boldness. As time passes, a warm resinous base of Mexican copal is revealed, evoking the magic of Latin America.

The Conversation
Beauty Creative Director Carolina A. Herrera and Creative Director Wes Gordon sit together to talk about the newest Herrera Confidential fragrance, Amazonian Rose.
A celebration of Carolina Herrera
Years before conquering the New York fashion world, a very young Carolina Herrera forged her identity in Hacienda La Vega, her childhood home in the heart of Caracas, a refined paradise that for decades hosted the highest echelons of Venezuelan society. It is here that she became known as the “Rose of Venezuela” due to her courage and vibrant personality.
A Tribute to Her
"I created Amazonian Rose as the ultimate tribute to my mother, a celebration of her passion and bravery inspired by the Rosa de Venezuela tree that grew in the gardens of our family home in Caracas. This vibrant, scarlet-hued flower not only represents the beauty of Venezuela – for our family it's a kind of metaphor for my mother."
- Carolina A. Herrera, Beauty Creative Director
A Vision in Red
An homage to Carolina Herrera can only be accompanied by her favorite color: Carolina Red, an intense and energetic hue that permeates the elegant, faceted glass bottle. This strong and fiery tone, that expresses her passion and personality, is contrasted with elegant gold accents. A luxurious and exuberant tribute to a fashion icon.
