Carner Barcelona Drakon

Opens with a bright, slightly bitter orange cut by the cool, resinous bite of cypress — not sweet, not soft. The heart is where it gets interesting: cypriol lends a smoky, earthy darkness that grounds the orange blossom before it turns powdery, keeping everything leaning dry and angular. Leather arrives quietly in the dry-down, adding depth without turning animalic. Projection is moderate, sillage intimate and persistent. Sandalwood holds it all together with a warm, creamy finish. — Best worn in cooler months by anyone drawn to structured, slightly austere florals with an edge.
