A tribute to the peace and harmony of a late summer afternoon; a fragrance that is pure, serene and enveloping.
A peaceful stroll through the wheat fields and almond trees as the light of a summer day wanes and the warmth of the air caresses your skin… Admiring the beauty of the sun as it starts dipping behind the rolling hills and bunches of wild roses and geraniums color the dimming countryside.
Their bountiful blooms release subtle droplets of nectar that float in the air and blend with the earthy scent of freshly cut wood, invading the early night…
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a fragrance for close, unhurried company and a slower pace, when the air is warm and the light has already begun to soften. It feels most natural in intimate settings where its powdery almond-rose warmth can settle quietly around the wearer rather than announce itself from a distance.
How to wear
Best worn in mild to warm weather, especially late afternoon and early evening, when its creamy floral-woody structure can breathe. Apply lightly to keep the almond, musk and tonka smooth and enveloping; it has enough presence to project at first, then settles into a softer, skin-close trail.
Who it’s for
For those who like powdery florals with a sweet, almonded edge and a soft woody base. It suits wearers who prefer sensuality expressed through warmth, texture and restraint rather than sharp freshness or heavy opulence.
Release year
2011
The nose
Daniela Andrier is known for a refined, modern style that often balances clarity with texture, giving her compositions a polished but intimate feel. Her work for houses such as Prada and Carner Barcelona shows a gift for turning restrained materials into fragrances with emotional depth and a clean, contemporary signature. For Tardes, she shaped Sara Carner’s memory of a Mediterranean late afternoon into a soft floral-woody composition, using almond, rose, cedarwood, heliotrope and musk to create a scent that feels enveloping rather than loud. The result is one of those Andrier fragrances that reads as understated at first, then reveals warmth, powder and quiet sensuality on skin.
Collaborators
Sara Carner, the brand’s founder and creative director, helped define the fragrance’s concept and emotional brief, drawing on childhood memories of the Catalan countryside and the atmosphere of a late summer afternoon. Her role was not just commissioning the perfume, but shaping the imagery and direction that guided the composition.
CARNER’s story
Carner Barcelona builds its identity around Barcelona’s Mediterranean spirit, local memory and craftsmanship, with fragrances that feel personal rather than trend-led. The house favors quality ingredients, distinctive perfumers and compositions that translate places, textures and emotions into a modern niche language.
TARDES’s concept
Tardes was launched in 2011 as part of Carner Barcelona’s early collection and was presented as an evocation of a peaceful late summer afternoon. The composition draws on Sara Carner’s memories of the Catalan countryside: wheat fields, almond trees, wild roses and the fading warmth of the day, with the scent of cut wood and soft floral nectar in the air.
Extra info
Tardes means “afternoons” in Spanish, a direct nod to the fragrance’s concept. It is one of Carner Barcelona’s early signatures and is often described as a serene, enveloping scent with strong longevity and a gentle woody-musk drydown.
