Carolina Herrera Burning Rose is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Olivier Pescheux. Burning Rose opens with Pepper and Ginger, settles into a heart of Rose and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Patchouli. Carolina Herrera's Burning Rose carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Prepare for a dark, spicy rose. While some find it subtle and refined, others experience a bold, almost 'bitchy' kick. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent that commands attention, leaning into a deeply sensual, mysterious aura rather than a fresh bouquet.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

This fragrance is quite strong and projects well, making it less suitable for an office environment where subtlety is often preferred. Its dark, sensual accords, however, make it ideal for romantic evenings, formal events, and cooler weather casual outings where you want to make a statement.

About

Burning Rose opens with a vivid rush of warm, fresh spices like cinnamon and ginger, immediately setting a smouldering tone. This fiery embrace soon reveals a deep, velvety red rose at its heart, not overtly sweet or innocent, but rich and mature. As it settles, an earthy patchouli emerges, grounding the composition with a touch of woody depth, creating a sophisticated and intense dance between floral, spice, and earth.
