We are just a few steps away from Passeig de Gracia, the magnificent boulevard of l'Esquerra de l'Eixamples, a beautiful district of the planned city, characterized by many local shops and numerous buildings with magnificent interior gardens. Voted by neighbors as one of the most popular places that best embodies the soul of the city. In the immediate vicinity of the creative "Fàbrica Lehmann", the urban garden "l'Espai Germanetes" and the popular market "Mercat des Ninot", Sara Carner has set up her boutique for luxury perfumes to capture the soul of all of Barcelona in her perfumes.
Sara Carner grew up with five siblings in Catalonia and comes from a family of leather manufacturers with a long tradition. She learned early on to explore her limits and to stand up for her passions with courage.
Her passion for perfume began in her childhood, as Carner was a passionate collector of scented candles and perfume bottles . Her double degree in law and business administration took her to New York, where she earned her master's degree at Columbia University and dealt with marketing and branding issues. She gained a foothold in the international cosmetics business with Shiseido and made connections with respected people in the beauty industry. In her heart she always carried the memory of her homeland, her childhood in Barcelona, which is now so crucial for the creation of her perfumes. The desire to combine her homeland with her passion for the art of perfumery became a dream come true with Carner Barceolna Parfum.
"Barcelona; its rich culture and the Mediterranean lifestyle is an unstoppable source of inspiration”
— Sara Carner
The founder sees her hometown , the city of Barcelona, as her greatest source of inspiration , which never runs dry and always provides extraordinary impulses for new fragrance creations. Since the founding of Carner Barcelona in 2010, her unique niche perfumes have represented the tireless diversity of the city . Although each fragrance stands on its own, all compositions as a whole create an image of Barcelona that Sara Carner wants to convey to us with her Eau de Parfums:
The unisex fragrances for individualists and lovers of special luxury capture the essence of Barcelona. The hustle and bustle, the carefree lifestyle of the Spaniards, but also important individual encounters and memories of growing up in Barcelona from Sara Carner herself.
The entire Mediterranean soul of Barcelona, from the impressive architecture and culture to the fusion of the city's history with today's modern life, the unique fragrances of Carner Barcelona Parfum combine in a lively fragrance experience and carry it out into the world with their own personality.
In her perfumes, Sara Carner combines the expertise of local manufacturers with her family's tradition of craftsmanship and the world-famous "noses" of master perfumers to capture the soul of Barcelona. She knows that this can only be done with the city and the locals themselves.

The fragrances of the first collection, the Woody Collection, are recognizable by their transparent glass bottle with the black wooden cap. The perfumes are all elegant throughout. They capture the situations and sensory impressions of Barcelona and package them olfactorily: the floral-woody scent of Spanish afternoons that turn into evening (Tardes) , the scent experience full of fresh fruit, flowers and spices of a Spanish market (D600) or the fresh, salty sea breeze that floats gently past (Costarela) . As the name of the collection suggests, the perfumes are all characterized by woody notes.

The sensual floral notes of Latin Lover embrace you with a rich floral bouquet of magnolia, violet, jasmine, lily of the valley, patchouli and musk. Sweet William is a little spicier with aromas of cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, vanilla, amber, rose and ylang-ylang. Besos caresses you like a passionate kiss with seductive accords of mandarin, jasmine and pepper that suit men and women. The fragrances are visually distinguished by the white wooden cap.
3.
With the History Collection you can immerse yourself in the past. Palaces full of splendor and nobility are represented by the perfumes with the closure in a darker wood tone and typical grain. Megalium embodies a homage to the ancient Roman Empire with its luxurious bathing rituals with soft and spicy notes of cinnamon, berries, rose and calamus, combined with frankincense and myrrh. Botafumeiro is a good mix of floral and spicy components: bergamot with pink pepper and nutmeg, lily of the valley and patchouli with musk and resins. Ambar del Sur is just as aromatic and spicy: jasmine, sandalwood and amber combine with myrrh and a delicate vanilla. Aromatic, spicy and with a hint of the Orient throughout.
4th
The Mediterranean Collection is characterized by its light wooden cap with turquoise engraving. Fresh, light and sensual, the maritime-inspired scents lift the spirits. Spicy and fruity-delicate at the same time, Fig Man envelops you with bergamot, fig, maritime accords and guaiac wood. Bo-Bo is just as fun-loving as the folk dance of the same name: mandarin, orange blossom, jasmine, musk and vetiver. Salado has an invigorating effect with the aromas of cucumber, salty accords, driftwood, pink pepper and a little musk.
5th
The Black Collection also lives up to its name in terms of its appearance. Completely wrapped in black, this collection with its spicy, woody aromas is hypnotic, dark and seductive. Black Calamus awakens the temperament with its woody, balsamic notes: coriander, pepper, rose and vanilla. Sensual and spicy, Rose & Dragon beguiles with a dance of saffron components with strawberry and cinnamon, frankincense, a little leather and the Bulgarian and Turkish rose.

Thanks to the highly concentrated fragrance oil content, the unique perfumes from Carner Barcelona spread their pleasant scent all day long and beyond. Here are a few more tips to help you enjoy your luxury perfume even more. Do you already know the new hair perfumes from Carner Barcelona?
Niche perfumes are very intense . Therefore, very little of the perfume essence is needed to have a great effect . We recommend that you apply a spritz of your favorite Carner Barcelona perfume to one or two areas of the body that have good blood circulation (wrists, earlobes, neck, crook of the arm). This is where the scent develops best due to body temperature .
But the biggest and best carrier of fragrance is your hair . It's practical that the exclusive perfumes from Carner Barcelona are now also available as hair perfume. Discover the fragrances of Bo-Bo, Latin Lover, Tardes and Costarela in a completely new way, specially tailored for your hair. What is the difference to normal perfumes?
Carner Barcelona hair perfumes use a much lower percentage of alcohol to ensure that your hair stays soft when you wear the luxurious fragrances. Hair perfumes designed specifically for hair are therefore a gentler alternative. The pleasant scents of the perfumes gently cover the hair, leaving it soft and supple and smelling good.
Kafkaesque blog
“From what I've observed, there seems to be a lot of love for Tardes out there in the perfume world. I'm constantly hearing raves about the scent, and I've noticed that one vendor of Carner Barcelona, the Osswald boutique in New York, often seems to run out of stock.”
