The founder of Carner Barcelona, Sara Carner, imagined the Black Collection as a celebration of the different cultures that shaped the Mediterranean soul. In 2016 perfumer Rodrigo Flores-Roux created the first three fragrances in this line: Sandor 70s, Black Calamus, and Rose & Dragon. In 2018  Givaudan perfumer, Jordi Fernández, took up the challenge to create the fourth perfume in the Black Collection Carner Barcelona Volcano. The family resemblance is evident. All four share the similar features of nose-tickling spiciness, deep rose, earthy patchouli and balsamic frankincense, yet they are as different as my own four brothers. For example Volcano lacks the leather accords the other three have. Earlier this year the Academia del Perfume Fundación in Spain honored Jordi Fernández the “Patchouli Chair” among their exclusive group of “Académicos del Numero” alongside perfumers such as Carlos Benaim, Olivier Cresp, Rodrigo Flores-Roux, and Albero Morillas. His work on three very different niche fragrances, Ex Nihilo Brompton Immortals, Carner Barcelona Volcano undoubtedly helped him achieve this prestigious award. I am excited to experience the great perfumes Jordi Fernández will create in the future.
