Carner Barcelona Sweet William

Opens with a powdery, slightly resinous push from styrax and ambrarome — dry and warm rather than sweet at first contact. The florentine iris sharpens into focus in the heart, lending a cool, rooty earthiness that keeps the vanilla absolute from going full dessert. As it settles, the vanilla deepens and the resins smooth everything into a soft amber-powder skin scent. Projection is moderate, sillage intimate; this wears close and lingers quietly. — Ideal for cooler months, particularly on anyone who wants a sophisticated alternative to heavy gourmand orientals.
