Cara Mia

Cara Mia by Etienne Aigner balances spice, flowers, resin and citrus equally, with sweet and woody sides in support. It was released in 2015 as a feminine scent.

Cardamom, black pepper, mandarin orange and bergamot open it with a bright, juicy and spicy sparkle. In the heart, iris brings a cool, powdery softness, jasmine a sunny white-flower warmth, and peach a soft, velvety fruitiness. The base is warm and resinous, with labdanum giving a sticky, ambery depth, frankincense a dry, smoky resin, patchouli an earthy backbone and cashmere musk a soft, cosy finish.

Warm and elegant, it suits autumn and winter, for evenings, dinners and smart occasions. Someone who likes spicy, powdery florals with a resinous, smoky base will find it a refined, grown-up choice. The name, meaning my dear in Italian, suggests a tender, affectionate mood, and the scent has a warm, enveloping character that suits cooler evenings and special moments.
