Stallion Leather Suede Joins Carolina Herrera’s Exclusive Collection
In the wake of the worldwide success of Stallion Leather, Carolina Herrera’s Herrera Confidential Collection unveils its latest olfactory masterpiece—Stallion Leather Suede. A fragrance that reinterprets its predecessor with a richer sensuality and deeper intensity, this new creation pays homage to the brand’s enduring muse: Balaclava, the Arabian thoroughbred that shaped the designer’s youth in Caracas.
Stallion Leather Suede conjures the essence of twilight, that fleeting moment between day and night when mystery takes hold and the senses sharpen. It captures the solitude and introspection of Carolina Herrera’s evening rides, where she and Balaclava moved in perfect harmony, a silent dialogue between rider and horse. It is this synergy—strength entwined with instinct—that informs the fragrance’s composition, making it a deeply evocative tribute to raw elegance.
At its heart lies the signature richness of leather, refined with a velvety suede accord that enhances its smoky depth. The opening bursts with fiery ginger, creating an immediate impact before melting into an intricate weave of cold and warm spices—cardamom, clove, and cinnamon—wrapped in the sensual warmth of Madagascan vanilla. Tonka bean from Venezuela lends an earthy sweetness, while musks and resinous notes cast an enigmatic shadow, adding layers of complexity to this sophisticated scent.
Drawing inspiration from the tropical vibrance of Caracas and the time-honoured perfumery traditions of the Middle East, Stallion Leather Suede stands as a bold statement in the Herrera Confidential Collection. Suede, the material synonymous with soft luxury, lends its name to a fragrance that speaks to the primal bonds between nature and human intuition, between control and abandon.
Carolina Herrera’s Stallion Leather Suede eau de parfum is now available online.
