Black Calamus

? Carner Barcelona 2016
26 Feb 2024 Cold morning 1.5ml sample

Another freebie, but it sounds more interesting, earthy, unusual green notes, spices, florals, oud…

Yeah, I really like this so far. Sparkling smokeyness, reminds me a bit of the smell of fresh bandages. Makes me think of a morgue.

Background sweetness comes out later. Kinda fruity, juicy. Vanilla comes out.

Overall really nice aftershavey sharpness and dryness, warm and resinous. And smells like bandages. Really like it.

Hmmm. Gets much more floral later. Still wood and incense and vanilla, but powdery rose is the main smell. Makes me like it less, but If I was going to get a perfume this’d be it. Maybe that’s why I made the colour for this post a grey-red; I knew it was coming…
