I love a beast-mode fragrance! But Carner Barcelona is a house that has taught me to appreciate a more refined projection. This is a nice ambery fragrance, it smells expensive and is easy-to-wear. The projection is about 5/10 and longevity is about 5-7 hours from what I've noticed. This is not going to blow you away in any sense. But it will smell good & ambery and refined. It is perfect for everyday wear, anywhere. Great for cooler months, because that is the nature of an ambery scent. There is absolutely nothing "wrong" with this (and I enjoy it the more I get to know it), but there is also nothing about it that's blowing my socks off. That is kinda what CB does though - they're fragrances are the types you wear to smell good & put together but not draw too much attention, if that makes sense. Great for work, getting together for family dinners, going for a brisk walk, etc etc.

Beautiful deep amber. Great projection and longevity. Best suited for fall or winter. The bottle is awsome also.
