“Coffee and white flowers after dark — duality by design.”
The stiletto-shaped bottle became iconic; the line spawned a long-running flanker series. Louise Turner and Quentin Bisch's 2016 launch for Carolina Herrera was a sweet floral-gourmand with almond, coffee, and bergamot at the top, a tuberose-jasmine sambac heart, and a tonka-cacao-vanilla-praline base. Performs strongest in fall and winter, leans evening, with strong projection.
