El Born

El Born from Carner Barcelona, released in 2014, is sweet, green, musky and citrusy all at once, with florals and resins in support. It reads as fig and honey over a soft vanilla-sandalwood base.

It opens with Sicilian lemon and Calabrian bergamot, made rounder by honey and given a herbal, slightly earthy lift by angelica. The heart is where fig takes over, green and milky, joined by jasmine and heliotrope, which adds a powdery, almond-like softness, and benzoin, which brings a warm resinous sweetness. In the base, Madagascar vanilla, Australian sandalwood and Peru balsam melt together with musk into something creamy and comforting.

About half of wearers report long longevity, with a moderate trail. It is voted for autumn and winter, and equally for day and night, so it works across most occasions in the colder months. It is worn by anyone.
