The Power of the Bow
Every year, as the festive season approaches, the windows of high-end boutiques are transformed with luxurious, sparkling displays filled with evening gowns, tailored suits, and glamorous accessories. That's because special occasions become even more memorable with a touch of elegance.
"Elegance is a state of mind"something I learned as a child," says Carolina A. Herrera, Creative Director of Herrera Beauty. "There's something magical about slipping into heels, wearing an evening dress, or swiping on a bold red lipstick. These gestures feel almost symbolic, like good luck charms. And what's more worth celebrating than the holidays with the people you love?"
At Carolina Herrera, elegance comes in many forms. The bow is one of the most festive. It has long been a signature of the house, gracing some of Wes Gordon's most striking runway looks season after season. They're always bold and dazzling"a testament to how fashion can inspire us to dream. Sometimes, all it takes is a simple tied ribbon.
A Design More Extra Than Ever
Bowtastic, the new collector's edition of Good Girl, elevates the bow to a timeless symbol of beauty and passion. "The idea is simple: If we dress in our finest on New Year's Eve, why shouldn't our fragrances do the same?" says Herrera. "So, that's what we've done: dressed up Good Girl and Good Girl Blush, two of our biggest hits, with extravagant, show-stopping bows worthy of the Herrera name."
"It's almost an inside joke among our design team"how do you improve on something nearly perfect? You give it a massive bow," she laughs. Bowtastic imagines being whisked away to a lavish New Year's Eve ball at the opera, where satin bows are the accessory of choice " blush pink for Good Girl Blush, midnight blue for the original Good Girl. Each bottle is finished with a gem-like embellishment for an extra touch of elegance. "This is one of our most special collector's editions yet because these are real Herrera bows," Herrera adds.
Two Iconic Fragrances
"To make this season even more special, I wanted to pay tribute to our two biggest successes"two perfumes adored by women around the world and perfect for gifting," says Herrera.
Inside the Bowtastic collector's edition are two of Carolina Herrera's most beloved scents. First, there's Good Girl, an eau de parfum inspired by the duality of the modern woman. It draws out the hidden facets of jasmine, a sweet and seductive bloom, with added depth courtesy of the notes of cocoa and the mysterious allure of tonka bean. Almond and coffee introduce an unexpected, daring twist. Its iconic deep midnight blue stiletto bottle is now adorned with a matching bow"pure seductive elegance.
Then there's Good Girl Blush, a floral explosion of femininity. Two distinct vanilla extractions blend with peony for a romantic heart, while two variations of ylang ylang add a radiant glow.
