Identity and Inspiration

The fragrance Tardes by Carner Barcelona, launched in 2010, embodies the spirit of Catalan evenings, where the warmth of the sun blends with the coolness of the approaching night.

The name "Tardes", which translates to "evenings", hints at the cozy and intimate moments that inspired the creators of this perfume, reflecting the brand's philosophy, founded in the same year and linked to the vibrant character of Barcelona.

As part of the collection Woody Collection, this female fragrance emphasizes the love for natural woody notes but enriches them with refined floral and musky accents, making it ideal for those who appreciate elegance with Spanish flair.

How to Wear Tardes

With a medium trail, Tardes creates an unobtrusive but memorable aura, suitable for daily wear, dates, or evening events.

For optimal development, it is recommended to use 1 to 2 sprays on the skin and 1 to 2 sprays on clothing — this ensures longevity and harmonious evolution of the fragrance throughout the day.

As a perfume water, Tardes has a good concentration, perfect for cool seasons such as autumn and winter, when its woody and musky notes sound warmest and coziest, adding confidence and charm in any scenario.

Influence and Legacy

Tardes played an important role in strengthening the reputation of Carner Barcelona as a niche perfumery house that combines traditional Spanish heritage with modern olfactory trends.

Inclusion in the Woody Collection highlights its key woody elements, making the fragrance a favorite among brand fans and contributing to its recognition in the world of niche perfumery.

Key fragrance characteristics

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The fragrance pyramid of Tardes begins with the top notes, where almond and geranium create a sweet-green opening, complemented by the softness of rose and the woody nuance of palisander.

In the heart of the composition, cedar, celery, and plum unfold, adding depth, freshness, and a light fruity note.

The base, composed of heliotrope, tonka bean, and musk, concludes the fragrance with a warm, long-lasting, and slightly spicy sillage that lingers on the skin, creating a sense of comfort and coziness.

This multilayered structure, combining floral, woody, and musky groups, makes Tardes a unique and memorable experience for true perfume enthusiasts.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

Oh, how awful it is, simply unbearable. Sweetish-leathery, almondy - is that all there is to say? In the sillage, it's completely different, but on the skin, when you inhale, you only feel these disgusting leather notes, bitter and sweet at the same time. I don't understand how anyone can love it, it just repels me. Maybe on a man, but for me, it's definitely not unisex. Describing it is a real torture, I struggled with this review for a long time. The longevity is good, of course, but that doesn't save it. It smells somehow strange and very expensive, but I don't need that ))

The first time I tried this fragrance at IDB, it immediately captivated me. So delicate and feminine, its scent lingered on my blouse for several days. But then the second test at L'Etoile - and I wondered: how could I have liked it at all? It's just a harsh, suffocating smell, reminiscent of men's cologne. And the third time at Rive Gauche - complete disappointment. I had almost come to terms with not buying it, but then I walked past IDB again and couldn't resist - and fell in love all over again 😔

After another testing of the fragrance, I got the feeling that a tobacco note appeared in it. I can't figure out which notes create this effect, but it's definitely there. It's a bit out of harmony with the overall scent, so I'm lowering my rating by one point 😔

The opening with almond and bitter wood is certainly something. The plum here smells like it's from a bag of dried fruits. And at the end, this sweetness of tonka beans and creamy heliotrope - well, it's just lovely. You want to revisit this fragrance again and again. But the celery - that's definitely too much. Overall, it's not bad, but it has its nuances

The fragrance with almond, tonka bean, and heliotrope is simply gorgeous! In the base, it becomes more powdery, which adds a special twist. And by the way, it's great for both men and women. A real feast for the senses! ))))

The fragrance is certainly bright, but those bitter almond notes at the beginning are just annoying. Then it softens, almost powdery, but this creamy undertone doesn't save it. In the end, the feeling remains unpleasant, like something's off

Carner Barcelona fragrances are simply amazing! They are truly created with soul, and you can feel it. I was particularly struck by Cuirs and Tardes - simply magnificent! I'm really looking forward to trying El Born.<br><br>Tardes starts with rosewood, which quickly fades but leaves a light almond trail. After about an hour, a tartness unfolds, which seems to come from plum and Bulgarian rose. And in the base, heliotrope lingers long against a sweet background of tonka beans. The sillage isn't too strong, but it lasts a long time.<br><br>I tried applying it to my hair, but unfortunately, the smell wasn't the most pleasant - it reminded me of something not very fresh. So for me, this fragrance is better used on the skin. Overall, it's a very refined and exquisite perfume!

The fragrance is truly unusual. It's beautiful and refined, but it has bitterness and coldness, which makes it heavy. Woody notes add severity and a certain nobility, but there's no lightness to it
4/5

This fragrance is too sweet for me, almost like pure almond with added heliotrope. It's clearly gourmand, but it doesn't make me want to eat it, although almond cookies wouldn't be unwelcome. In the background, there's a coolness, perhaps palisander, which prevents Tardes from becoming something light and airy like a macaron. The base has a sweet tonka bean powder. Overall, the entire woody line from Barcelona seems very sweet to me. Even Cuirs, which many consider masculine and compare to Black Afgano, smells not like leather or spices on me, but rather something sugary. Wearing such fragrances outdoors is pleasant, but indoors they can be too heavy. One spray is just right, more is overkill. The longevity is simply excellent, especially on clothes

At first, it seems almondy, with a bitter undertone, quite rich, but at the same time cozy. Gradually, a sweetness begins to unfold, and in the end, a base appears that reminds me of Masaki Matsushima's Mat Chocolat, which I remember from my student years 😔
5/5

The fragrance, first and foremost, is associated with almond, heliotrope, and tonka beans. It's bright and powdery, quite feminine and easy to wear. But here's the strange thing: sometimes it brings back memories of plastic toys from my childhood that I used to play with. This feeling is like being transported back to those carefree times, and at the same time, it causes a certain wariness. I can't figure out if I like it or not. Overall, it's quite unusual and mysterious ))

This perfume is a true tribute to femininity, it's like a masterpiece that stands out in the world of fragrances. Always and everywhere it's with me, no matter my mood or the weather outside 🌸

The fragrance is perfect for the cold season, especially autumn and winter. When it's warm, it starts to irritate and becomes unpleasant. It seems there's a good reason for that

The fragrance is simply awful, there's nothing refined about it. It's suffocating, like a heavy blanket in the heat. It smells as if someone decided to mix almonds with dust and add a bit of wood. No warmth at all, just harshness and repulsion 😒
5/5

The fragrance is simply amazing! It clearly has its own character. The opening is indeed sweet, with bright almond, and yes, it might seem a bit sharp. But then it unfolds with flowers, sweetness, and musk, which is simply captivating. Very feminine, it gives a certain maturity. Personally, I think it's better suited for cool weather, because in summer it might give you a headache. Longevity is good, the sillage, however, is not too noticeable
