Etienne Aigner Cara Mia is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015. Cara Mia opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, Pepper, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Iris, and Peach, and dries down to a base of Musk, Patchouli, Labdanum, and Frankincense. Etienne Aigner's Cara Mia carries a Favourite verdict, an amber-led wear.

Cara Mia is a divisive one - some find its blend of spiced warmth and powdery florals effortlessly elegant, while others are put off by a sharpness that comes across as cleaning product. If you're after a sophisticated, warm scent that steers clear of overt sweetness, this could be your surprisingly sensual blind buy.

About

Cara Mia opens with a zingy yet warm burst of pepper, cardamom, and citrus, quickly ushering in a heart of soft iris, sweet peach, and delicate jasmine. It settles into a luxurious base of balsamic labdanum and frankincense, earthy patchouli, and a clean, comforting musk. Expect a journey from sharp spice to a long-lasting, sophisticated warmth.
