Botafumeiro
Botafumeiro by Carner Barcelona is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with bergamot, pink pepper and nutmeg, moves into freesia, lily of the valley, labdanum and patchouli and dries down to styrax, incense and musk. 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.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
- Nutmeg Warm, woody and slightly sweet. Cosy without being gourmand.
Heart
- Freesia Crisp, slightly peppery floral. Clean and a bit synthetic in a good way.
- Lily of the Valley Clean, green, dewy floral. Reads as 'fresh laundry' to most people.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Dry-down
- Styrax Smoky, leathery balsam. Slightly rubbery and dark.
- Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
