Calamus

Eau D'Italie

Bois d'Ombrie opens with an emphatically unusual set of top notes: cognac and whiskey give boozy, fermented warmth; carrot contributes a woody, earthy quality; calamus a reedy sweetness.

Carner Barcelona

Black Calamus opens on a strange, herb-and-bitter top — calamus root with black pepper biting against it, more apothecary cabinet than perfume counter.
