Dark and velvety
A dark scent ( the name I find perfectly fitting ) , deep and powerful, with very strong leathery shadows overwhelming a just hinted rose. An almost primordial fragrance, which with its intensity seems almost to comfort and warm the soul. The enveloping aroma slowly turns to dust and finally, as if reborn from the ashes, the rose emerges, carnal and passionate.
Silky and sensual, like a black cat.
I wore it on a cold evening, and I must say I found it perfect.
Going then to learn about the nose...here comes Quentin Bisch, who, you may have guessed by now, literally stole my heart.
His olfactory signature here does not stand out at first sight, but then his style comes through.
I really liked it.

Whisper of a Dark Gentleman
Between leather and suede, my heart doesn’t waver; I’m definitely drawn to suede, lighter, softer, and more velvety.

Carbone perfectly embodies this: a suede note expressed with airy elegance, enhanced by a subtle hint of rose and a dash of spice in the background. The result is enticing, sensual, yet enveloping and refined.

From my perspective, it leans more toward a masculine fragrance (I can’t see myself wearing it), but it leaves behind a beautiful, lingering trace.

Ring-a-ring o' roses
"maximalist musk mirroring minimalist rose" statement from Balmain is spot on. cumin is adding a sensual carnal touch to it without getting into BO territory for me + smooth suede. though it does somewhat remind of Guidance 46 DNA in the drydown (sandalwood?), Carbone is a distinct, standalone fragrance. alluring and very potent. exquisite sillage. beautiful

Long-lasting self-confident sex appeal
Received the sample yesterday, I'm thrilled! I applied it yesterday around 5pm and have just got up, it lasts and lasts.... it doesn't stop at all!
Sexy, wicked, rather masculine, but a woman can also wear it with appropriate layered fragrances!

It also won me over because it embodies exactly what I like in a perfume, uniqueness, powdery warmth, woody leather - it blows all my fuses!

With the warmth that has just set in, the warm sex appeal of the fragrance comes across even more strongly. You also need super little!

Would a man wear this on a first date... Clear recommendation (I'm super picky and fussy about perfumes.

A 10/10 :)

The most expensive pencil
A carbon suede explosion that drifts off into a musky rose, neatly garnished with cumin and patch. What remains after hours is this resinous, leathery note that reminds me on the one hand of freshly sharpened pencil, suede and shoe polish. But somehow it also reminds me of burnt rubber like in My Heroine. Very striking fragrance, although I like a subtle suede note in perfumes on cool days, here the resinous, leathery components and the patch are too much for me. A statement for extroverted personalities.

Attractive, spicy, leathery at first sniff. Unfortunately headache-inducing as the evening progressed. No for me.

It’s a fresh suede, yes! Rose is the focus.

"Guidance | Amouage", like another "it" fragrance BR540, has now engendered children. This version of Carbone is one of them.
