Stallion Leather

Stallion Leather is a love letter to nature, beauty and strength, based on floral, spicy and leather notes that evoke memories of Balaclava, a fabulous racehorse that Carolina Herrera rode daily as a teenager and has since considered her lucky talisman. Bottled in an evocative sculpture with hints of honey, this eau de parfum is a symbol and an ode to success. Stallion Leather, like all Herrera Confidential fragrances, was born of Carolina Herrera's own family history. The bold blend of warmth and sweetness, of floral and leather notes, is a tribute that Carolina A. Herrera, Creative Director of Beauty, pays homage to her mother's bold personality. The inspiration for this fragrance comes from Balaclava, a racehorse my mother owned as a teenager in Caracas. It was her father's birthday present to her on her fifteenth birthday, and she considered the horse her most precious jewel. The beauty, strength and agility of Balaclava, as well as the nostalgia of youth and the winning spirit of the horse, are the key concepts of Stallion Leather, a fragrance that belongs to Herrera Confidential's Gems collection. Here, the gem is a symbol not only of Balaclava, but of Carolina Herrera's fascination with Arabian horses in general, a world that has influenced the Herrera aesthetic since its inception. Carolina A. Herrera has designed Stallion Leather with perfumer Jordi Fernández (Givaudan). Together they have created a luxurious ambery and leathery floral eau de parfum, a perfect balance of strength and sensuality that fits with Carolina Herrera's iconic fashion collections.
