Carolina Herrera CH Under The Sea is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Véronique Nyberg and Violaine Collas. CH Under The Sea opens with Pomelo, Rose, and Seaweed, settles into a heart of Ylang-Ylang and Coconut, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Vanilla. Carolina Herrera's CH Under The Sea carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A divisive scent where the 'under the sea' concept clashes with a sweet, almost gourmand heart. Some will love this playful, summery vibe, while others will find it a bit too much.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its moderate sillage and sweet, tropical notes make it better suited for casual outings or dates, especially in warmer weather. The gourmand leaning makes it less ideal for formal settings or the office where a more subdued scent is typically preferred.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Vanillin from Vanilla
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opening with a surprising aquatic tang of seaweed alongside a bright, zesty pomelo, this scent quickly dives into a creamy, tropical heart. Sun-warmed coconut and lush ylang-ylang create a vacation-ready sweetness, mellowing into a soft, comforting base of smooth vanilla and creamy sandalwood. It's a journey from ocean spray to a beachside dessert.
