2012: the world took its first breath of Barney* retaW. The fragrance is presented as eau de parfum.
Produced in Japan, and you can feel it in every note. Barney* retaW unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
Sometimes the best decision of the day is a press of the atomiser. The official website of retaW — https://eroma.no/.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The scent of Barney* unfolds as a living composition, where notes flow without rush and without gaps. The style of retaW is clear in details that define the fragrance identity. No excess details, only what works, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de parfum emphasizes a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
The accord profile is driven by these accords: Abstract, Floral, Musc and Wood forming a compact and readable structure. Background accords such as Cosmetic and Mineral enrich the profile without taking over. The stylistic positioning is unisex, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
In the first seconds you detect fresh green first notes: Aldehydes, Green Chord, Ozone and Violet leaf.
In the middle phase you detect Lilac and Lily of the Valley carrying a velvety rose-iris direction. In the base the line is anchored through Amber, Cedar and musk, reinforcing a velvety incense trail.
From the group perspective the composition is built around Fairy, Green, Mineral and Floral. It also reaches into Whiteflower, Balsamic, Wood and Musk.
Overall Barney* holds a coherent structure — the start forms character, the heart develops the core line, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. This is the type of composition best understood in wear.
