Ambar del Sur
Ambar del Sur by Carner Barcelona is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with bergamot, moves into jasmine, patchouli, sandalwood and amber and dries down to myrrh, labdanum, tonka bean and vanilla. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Heart
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
Dry-down
- Myrrh Bitter, smoky resin. Ancient-smelling and slightly cool.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
