Black Calamus from Carner Barcelona (2016) is spicy and floral in equal measure, with most people also noting sweetness, wood and amber, and a smaller group resin.

Coriander, juniper and black pepper open with a bright, herbal, peppery spark. Calamus, a reed root, adds an unusual green, slightly bitter and spicy-earthy note that gives the scent its name, alongside papyrus for a dry, smoky greenness. The heart brings Turkish rose and osmanthus, the rose rich and velvety, the osmanthus apricot-like and leathery. The base is dark and warm, with agarwood for a dry oud, incense for smoke, Spanish labdanum for honeyed resin and Mexican vanilla for creamy sweetness.

Black Calamus is shared and can be worn by anyone. It suits autumn and winter, evenings and special occasions, and should appeal to people who like dark, spicy rose-and-oud compositions with an unusual green twist.
