Carolina Herrera introduced the House of Herrera to Lagos, Nigeria on the 15th of September, 2016 with an exclusive event for the first African launch of her new fragrance line, Herrera Confidential at The George Hotel, Ikoyi, Lagos.

With Lagos’ most stylish media influencers and renowned journalists in attendance, the gorgeous hostesses dressed in the brands signature style received and ushered guests to the opulent world of Carolina Herrera to discover her personal story, as well as the unique signature of Herrera Confidential. The stylish guests sipped on some bubbly and cocktails in the experiential room true to Carolina Herrera ethos.

From the red carpet, to images of Carolina Herrera and Carolina Herrera de Baez, sketches of Carolina Herrera dresses, the 6 fragrances lining the walls, as well as 100ml bottles of the fragrances and their key raw ingredients; the experiential room was indeed reminiscent of Carolina Herrera’s personal style.

Distinguished through their vibrant colors, each bottle is made of the finest glass and metal stamped with Carolina Herrera’s monogram.

After Emeshe’s demonstration, Linda invited guests to “be a part of the confidence” by approaching Emeshe’s experiential table to ask questions, and mix fragrances while being served more cocktails and bubbly.

It was an afternoon guests will not forget as they were led into the breath taking private dining area for a delicious 3 course meal. The highlight of the event was Godwin Strings, who once again serenaded guests who thoroughly appreciated him and had such a great time they abandoned their meals to dance.

On their way out, the fashionable guests parted with exclusive gift bags containing Herrera Confidential fragrance bottles, the essential oils for each fragrance as well as Carolina Herrera coffee table books courtesy of the brand.
