Carner’s Felino is a symbol of power for the Catalan bourgeoisie… a desire to demonstrate economic progress and success. Soft yet spicy notes of nutmeg and hazelnut blend with a heart of jasmine and black leather. A small nuance of resinous sweetness of vanilla gives a slight crystallised taste and a dramatic overdose of Myrrh rounds up the opulent and memorable perfume. The highly concentrated Extrait de Parfum is a long lasting, intense composition. Encased a hand crafted wooden box that exudes sophistication and contemporary luxury.
Carner Barcelona use only the highest grade and ethically sourced ingredients and materials when creating each fragrance.

HOW IT WEARS
Felino opens with a creamy, burnt sugar note which melts into soft spice, blended with such nuance you can understand how it is inspired by the Catalan bourgeoisie. Once the fragrance has sat for a minute or more, the animalic and feline civet note becomes apparent. Reminiscent of a strong, powerful lioness.
LORE LOVES
Try not to be immediately obsessed with this sexy, animalic gourmand fragrance by Carner Barcelona. We couldn’t help but be! Notes of absinthe, white florals, leather, spiced vanilla and an almost smoky top note of hazelnuts (roasted a touch too long in the smouldering embers of an open fire), create an entirely intoxicating fragrance of femme allure that will have you enveloped in it’s boozy, balsamic desire for the entire day, night and whatever else follows thereafter. I am Felino…hear me roar!
