Perfume information

Description of the composition

The olfactory structure of Barq 2016 evolves as a living composition, where notes flow without rush and without gaps. The creative approach of Swiss Arabian is recognizable in details that define the fragrance identity. Every decision feels deliberate, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Oil-based perfume keeps the right density and pace of development.

The olfactory framework is shaped by these accords: Citrus, Gourmet, Floral and Musc forming a compact and readable structure. Secondary accord layers such as Wood, Amber and Spicy enrich the profile without taking over. The gender direction is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read.

At the opening of the pyramid you detect spicy sparkling top notes: Cardamom, Cinnamon and Citrus accord.

In the middle phase you detect Rose and Woody Accord keeping a velvety rose-iris direction.

At the note-group layer the profile is anchored in Spicy, Citrus, Floral and Wood. The palette also extends to Ambery, Sweet, Gourmet and Musk. At family level the scent maps to East and Spicy.

In summary Barq 2016 holds a coherent structure — the opening sets direction, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. This is the type of composition best judged in wear.

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.
Persistence
High (5 to 12 hours)

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.

Citrus notes with woody accents in this perfume just stick like chewing gum to your shoe. Honestly, it's too heavy and downright oily, unbearably intrusive 😒
