Carner Barcelona Rose & Dragon is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Rose & Dragon opens with Wild Strawberry, Cinnamon, Saffron, and Cumin, settles into a heart of Rose, Honey, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, Castoreum, and Labdanum. Carner Barcelona's Rose & Dragon carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

Divisive and bold, Rose & Dragon is a thick, jammy rose with an animalic edge. It's either a love potion or a muddled mess, depending on your skin and your nose's tolerance for challenging notes. Definitely not a blind buy.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Rose & Dragon opens with a surprising burst of wild strawberry, spiced with cinnamon and a hint of cumin, a vibrant contrast to the immediate presence of a rich, dark rose. As it settles, honeyed warmth intermingles with smoky incense, creating a complex, almost gothic aura. The dry down reveals a sensual base of leather, amber, and a subtle animalic castoreum, grounding the floral and fruity sweetness in a mysterious depth.
