Description
CARU is an ancient Gaelic word meaning ‘to love’. It has been specially chosen for this rich and heartwarming fragrance as it evokes passion and joy.
When creating CARU our minds were filled with thoughts of the last days of summer; rich aromas of harvests and the last blooms of summer scenting the breeze. As Autumn takes hold there is a crispness to the air, a clarity to the light, we begin to wrap up. It is a wonderful feeling to be snug and warm.
In essence that is the feeling we have tried to capture with CARU; a blend of summer and autumnal fruits, crisp green top notes warmed with rich florals of iris and freesia, a heart of red berries resting on bittersweet ambers, vanilla and fragrant woods to create this warm and wonderful feminine fragrance.
Caru was launched in 2011.

I adore this fragrance. Absolutely gutted that Fragrances of Ireland discontinued it last season. However, the lovely staff at FoI very kindly sent me half a dozen sample vials, it was the last of their remaining stock, I’ll try my best to make it last!
I do love fragrances with woody base notes and this one hits the spot.The vetiver isnt too cloying as it can be in some scents, the cedar and patchouli gives just the right combination of warmth. The first spray gives you a lovely late summer berry hit, that’ll be the raspberry, delicious! The floral middle notes of freesia, rose and lily of the valley are very understated, just enough to soften the heady woods and resins.
This is early autumn in a bottle. A comforting soft scent reminiscent of long walks with leaves starting to crunch underfoot. The warmth of the fading sun, the fruit harvest and those evening bonfires. I’m going to miss this one.

Caru! I adore Caru. It’s beautiful. Such a beautiful fruity, woody mix. It is one of my favourite perfumes. It’s so delicious. The fresh crisp green smell of summer at the beginning, with the lovely fruit, and then the beautiful iris and freesia, such lovely rich flowers, and the berries adding more depth and a rich tang, and then the yummy cozy warm vanilla with amber and wood, really makes me feel I’m being wrapped in someone’s warming loving arms. It’s a wonderful feeling. The perfume really does evoke a feeing of being in love for me.
I really love this gem. And I have no problem with the lasting power; it stays lovely and strong for 15 hours, and then I put more on. I love it.
And I wear it to bed too. It’s gorgeous to go to sleep with. Such a comforting smell.
And I LOVE the gorgeous bottle. It’s my very favourite. It’s so beautiful.

My husband bought this for me one Valentine’s day and it is an absolute favorite of mine. I’m surprised by the longevity ratings because I find that I can smell it on myself for many hours after I’ve first applied it. I have received so many compliments on this fragrance and know it will be one I always wear.

I saw this bottle in an old-school pharmacy in New York City (Ansonia Pharmacy on 6th Ave) and gave it a try. It’s a lovely crisp fruity-wood scent, like autumn in a bottle, but it vanishes in an instant. If only it had better staying power, it would be worth what seemed like a very reasonable price tag.
