Carner Barcelona Sandor 70'S

Opens with a dry, almost austere Spanish leather that reads more like aged saddle than polished hide — austere, a little dusty, grounded immediately by earthy patchouli and smoky vetiver pulling it toward the soil. Frankincense adds a resinous, slightly medicinal depth in the heart without going churchy. Oak moss stitches everything together in the dry-down with a cool, damp-forest character that lingers close to the skin with moderate sillage. Projection is restrained but persistent. — Best in cooler months for someone who wants leather without sweetness.
