Of woods, herbs and bazaar dreams
"Cuirs" by Carner was actually love at first sniff for me!
I had previously sniffed me a bit through the Carner portfolio. Latin Lover left me completely cold (despite the hot name). The highly praised Tardes I liked in principle very well, but reminded me too much of my beloved almond skin care series of L'Occitane, as that I would have considered investing in an additional perfume. And with Rima XI, I vacillated between fascinated always-again sniffing and know-me-from-the-high-quality-drugstore-segment.
And then - when I Carner Barcelona for me had already almost put ad acta - the encounter with "Cuirs".
In advance I must say: it is for my nose and despite the many listed notes not a very complex fragrance. I perceive little "depth" over the entire course, but a very pleasant warmth. And: "Cuirs" has simply a tremendous presence!
I would absolutely confirm the similarity with "Black Afghano"!
Although this Carner composition is perhaps not quite as finely composed and tuned as Nasomatto's olfactory Nulklear explosion I like him better for everyday life...because he accompanies me more quietly and yet noticeably.
But now to the fragrance itself:
As I said - "Cuirs"' strength lies for me not in the area of high complexity or refined composition. The scent progression is relatively linear on my skin. I perceive from the beginning a very present oud note, a lot of spices - and a (pleasant!) Cannabis note.
This melange has for me virtually a teleporting effect: I suddenly find myself in the middle of the bazaar - or more correctly: the huge and widely ramified souk - of Marrakech. One of my favorite travel places...
I see myself strolling through the narrow streets with their 1000 tiny stores, which haggle all sorts of colorful & glittering. From the finest leatherwork, beautifully chased lamps and shiny silver teapots, syrup-dripping sweets with nuts and dried fruits - to herbs, dried flowers and oils, which (together with a bit of well-dosed magic) should help against all ills of the world.
The scents of all these stores mingle with the spicy smoke of the barbecue fires lit in the nearby main square - Djemaa el Fna - every evening...and with the equally smoky notes wafting down the narrow alley from the cozy rooftop terrace of a backpacker hostel.
I smell this mixture - and feel for a precious moment at the same time secure and free!
Aren't we all scent-crazy for this very reason?
Because nothing puts you in a certain place or mood as immediately as a forgotten fragrance memory?
Thank you, Carner Barcelona - for this beautiful little everyday escape with "Cuirs"!
