Sandor 70's

Sandor 70's by Carner Barcelona is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with suede, bergamot, jasmine, osmanthus and rose, moves into tobacco, clary sage, cedarwood, peru balsam and vanilla and dries down to leather, patchouli, vetiver, frankincense and oakmoss. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Suede Soft, powdery leather. Much gentler than the real thing.
Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Osmanthus Apricot-and-leather floral. Unusual, warm and very wearable.
Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.

Heart

Tobacco Sweet, dried and honeyed. Nothing like a cigarette.
Clary Sage Softer, sweeter sage with an ambery undertone. Warm and herbal.
Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
Peru Balsam Vanilla and cinnamon resin. Deep and syrupy.
Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.

Dry-down

Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
