Slightly dark sweet Oriental with smoky undertones
The Black Calamus is a slightly dark fragrance with a certain balsamic sweetness.
It even has a leathery feel to me.

The fragrance starts directly with a slightly peppery labdanum.
This balsamic sweetness of labdanum is just great.
Labdanum is generally a super nice accord. Usually so much is said about oud, but labdanum is for me the secret star among the fragrance notes.

Relatively quickly, the incense also comes through directly.
The incense lays like a veil around the fragrance and gives it a certain "dirty" note.
I really like this on the whole.

Towards the end, even some vanilla actually comes in and gives the fragrance another sweet twist.

In general, the Black Calamus has an oriental, spicy, smoky, woody, slightly sweet, balsamic and even leathery.

The performance of the fragrance is good and it is definitely worth a test!

Medicinal-woody w/ some ambers. This is the profile that Carner's mastered. Drydown is VERY bizarre (edible spice?). Masculine, fall-winter.
