A modern reinterpretation of the ancient Roman perfumes of the 5th Century. The Carner Barcelona History Collection is based on the concept of introducing new perfumes based on key historical events as a way to continue telling an authentic story about Barcelona’s past, history and culture. Inspired by these times of opulence, a time when Barcelona was still young, and often influenced by other cultures. Named after the perfumer (of either Sicilian or Athenian descent), Megalium was renowned for creating the wildly popular perfumes of this period. Rose Water flowed from fountains and balsams were used in the bathing rituals and private boudoirs. Megalium is inspired by these soft and spicy notes, creating a smooth and comforting perfume.

HOW IT WEARS
Megalium sits close to the skin and has a warm and gentle feel – the longevity and silage are good as it is an Eau de Parfum with a rich, warm base. We generally get between 6 to 8 hours as this scent mellows out to a soft warm resinous base.
LORE LOVES
Carner Barcelona has really used the note of Cinnamon in Megalium to create a warming and gentle scent that is the perfect ambery and exotically spiced perfume. We get a strong Cinnamon hit balanced with beautiful, soft Resins and of course the hint of beautiful Bulgarian Rose Extract that leaves you wanting more and more of this lingering masterpiece.
