City Rhythm Barcelona Extrait
Description
Barcelona, released in 2024 by perfumer Christian Carbonnel (Chris Maurice), bottles nightlife and passion rather than the city's daytime postcard image. Sparkling wine and pomegranate open bright, then red wine, cherry, and wild rose take over before a sensual trail of musk, sandalwood, and a hint of chocolate closes it out.
Scent Character
- Woody: 50%
- Sweet: 23%
- Floral: 18%
- Fresh: 9%
Translation: a woody-dominant fragrance with a rich sweet-floral heart, closer to a boozy, chocolate-tinged nightlife scent than a fruity-fresh one.
