Ibiza Nights

It’s early days with my 15ml but it’s a light fruity floral. Out of all the carners I’ve bought I’m most underwhelmed by this so far. I get a whiff of some citrus smell and then it’s white florals but then the scent feels like it’s gone. I get a slight dirty tone underneath the overall essence of the fragrance which I think is how my nose detects the ylang ylang note. I hope it grows on me and if it does I’ll update. For now I’m a little underwhelmed at both the fragrance and the strength. Stunning bottle as always from Carner. They are my favourite house so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt where this scent is concerned 😉 Edit: it’s getting better. Edit: of course it is it’s Carner. Edit: chameleon. Wow, my favourite of the dream collection. What’s happened? This is part of the reason I love smell and fragrance. It’s so captivating, mysterious and thought provoking. This has a fullness I didn’t detect before, a deep wholeness. Then I sniff more and it changes again. I sniff deeper and that dirty ylang comes through but now I think I like it. This fragrance has got my attention. I’m intrigued. I’m going to wear this some more I think. Edit ✍️ this is magical 🧙I went outside and I was surrounded by a beautiful and I mean beautiful Essence radiating around me in a way I can only describe as magical. It wasn’t whiffs of a smell it was something more than that, it seemed to transcend the air and almost illuminate my senses in ethereal flashes. Like silk billowing in and out and caressing my senses. I only went to put the bin out and I had to stand outside for longer to let the beauty illuminate my senses. I don’t think I’ve had a moment like that with a fragrance before. It is not one dimensional it completely keeps its true character under a veil of mystery. As I’m sitting here (I reapplied before bed) I would describe this as an extremely smoothly blended voluptuous full bodied scent with charisma. This is something quite special and not my usual go to. I’ve never gone from meh/dislike to so completely intrigued by any fragrance ever. Wow. Carner has done it again! Also I think I now appreciate the effect of ylang ylang here. After the pepper and ylang and all the other sparkling notes have danced their twinkling dance 🪩 the night closes in and there is a warmth of comfort in the air and benzoin is the comforter. I love this note I get the same dry down note as Loccitane terre de lumiere sparkling edition. Which is also beautiful. This though is more citrus and spicy settling into a bed of amber in the night 🌚

I detest Versace Dylan blue. I actually had it, gifted and gave away. This, smells nothing like it. In my opinion. Nothing. Something very addictive and intoxicating about this. I think it can be heady if you overspray but it’s something very lively and captivating. I own a small 15ml that I’ve used up, I haven’t done this with my nearly 50 frags I own ( I barely dent any of them, the only other one is a 25 ml omnia crystalline) and I keep sniffing it from the bottle trying to decide if I need more perfumes. Yes I do. I’m currently clearing out and buying only if I sell one. Which I did so now well here it comes ;) btw the bottle is even more stunning in person 💙🩵 ✨ Edit: I really don’t want to say this and I can’t guarantee if it’s a weather affect or hayfever/ sinus issues but I purchased the full 100ml bottle. I contacted Carner by email to see if they removed the clove note as it’s still mentioned on their website but NOT on their box packaging and that could be what is giving it is complexity, sparkle, strength and overall magic.... and they never got back to me. I spray and spray and it’s incredibly weak compared to my old 15ml even when I sniff the empty from the bottle. I spent way over £100 that I smell when I spray then poof it’s gone. I’m not writing it off but something is definitely not right here. I am disappointed because it’s a stunningly made fragrance, well my 15ml definitely was and I’d like to speak to someone to find out if they’ve made changes since that production due to regulations or business not. That we’ll probably get truth if money is the real reason. Feel let down my Carner as they are one of my favourite perfume brands.

I’m still loving this. Half way through my 15ml (edit: 85% way through) going to buy a full bottle. It just keeps growing on me and definitely signature scent worthy for me. I didn’t see that coming! I get mostly, magnolia and anise with ylang ylang complementing each other. The blend is incredible and like nothing I’ve ever smelled before. A truly hypnotising and captivating scent. Don’t write this off until you get to know it. It’s like a delectable mystery that keeps you wanting to know more. It’s my favourite out of the dream collection. My top 3 carners alongside of Palo santo and rockstar ;) Beautiful bottle too 💙

I like this and so does my hubby. It's got a nice blend of citrus, fruit and white florals in the opening that makes it just a little unique. It's got good strength and projection. I received a free sample with a shipment of something else and I like it enough to maybe try a decant in the future.

Love this one too, sampled it for my friend and after a long search she found a new lasting love. It’s a master piece, fresh notes completely aligned with the white flowers and a perfect, not too sweet and not too heavy, base with patchouli and vanilla. Yum.
