Om produkten

Rose and amber together is one of the oldest ideas in perfumery, and Carven Paris Mascate Eau de Parfum 100ml is a straightforward, well executed version of it rather than an attempt at anything new. Coriander and bitter orange make a brief, bracing opening, the coriander cool and soapy with a peppery edge, the bitter orange sharp and dry and all about peel. Neither hangs around. Moroccan rose is the centre, and it is handled richly: deep, slightly jammy, honeyed rather than dewy, the kind of rose that smells of petals in a warm room. Geranium sits alongside it adding a green, leafy, faintly metallic bite that keeps the flower from going soft, and patchouli is already underneath, dry and almost mineral here rather than damp, giving the heart its spine. The base is warm and simple. Amber provides a sweet resinous glow, vanilla softens it, and tonka bean rounds everything off with a warm, faintly bitter sweetness. Nothing surprising happens, and for a fragrance of this type that is the correct outcome. It dates from 2017. At eau de parfum strength it lasts well into the evening with moderate projection, and it reads as unisex, though the sweetness of the base gives it a slight lean. Cold weather and night time suit it best, and 100ml at this sort of price is a sensible way to own a rose and amber scent without paying niche money for one. The house began in Paris in 1945 under Carmen de Tommaso, who traded as Marie-Louise Carven and died in 2015 aged 105.
