Bestium

Bestium from Carner Barcelona, released in 2020, is a dark rose with incense, oud and resin. Everyone who describes it calls it floral and amber, most also find it woody, and a minority mention spice and citrus.

The opening pairs two roses, Bulgarian and Turkish, giving a rich, velvety and slightly spicy floral body, with bergamot adding a brief citrus brightness and saffron a warm, leathery spice. The heart deepens with incense, dry and smoky, Indonesian patchouli leaf, earthy and dark, and Chinese osmanthus, which brings an apricot-like, suede-soft floral tone. The base is resinous and brooding: agarwood adds a dark, smoky woodiness, more incense keeps the smoke going and Spanish labdanum gives a sticky, ambery warmth.

Unisex in spirit, it suits people who like rose in its darker, more dramatic form. The resins and oud point to autumn and winter, evenings and formal occasions where a bold scent fits. Those who enjoy rose, incense and oud compositions should find it compelling.
