Beso Canalla
There are not many fragrances born in a beach restaurant, and Beso Beach Beso Canalla Eau de Parfum 100ml, released in 2018, is one of them, which turns out to matter rather less than how good it smells.
Saffron opens it and sets the tone at once: dry, leathery, faintly medicinal, with a bitterness that is unmistakable the moment it hits skin. Sicilian bergamot sharpens it with a clean bitter brightness, neroli adds the cooler, greener side of the citrus blossom, and lavender runs herbal and calm underneath. That is an opening of real quality, warm and bracing at the same time. The middle is short and sweet, literally. Sugar is listed as a material and it behaves like one, giving a simple, almost edible sweetness, while heliotrope sits with it, powdery and soft with something of meringue and baby powder about it. The pair soften the saffron without smothering it.
The base is Mediterranean and warm. Sandalwood brings a smooth, rounded warmth, Indonesian patchouli is earthier and sweeter than the usual grade, and amber glows resinously under both. The dry down is skin close, slightly powdery and quite long lasting, with seven hours or more realistic from an eau de parfum. It is at its best where it was conceived: heat, sand, long evenings and salt. It works equally well in a northern autumn, and it reads as entirely unisex.
Beso Beach is the fragrance line of a beach restaurant and club business that began in Formentera in 2012 and has since opened elsewhere. The perfumes are not made in house; they were introduced as a collaboration with the niche Barcelona house Carner Barcelona and shown at the Esxence fair in 2019, and every one of them is named Beso.
