What wearers say
“Barenia feels like a lovely, fruity, fall (autumn) perfume.The dry down of Barenia is very similar to Adjmal Regina. Not completely unique but quite particular. More suited to a mature fragrance appreciator. Long lasting with good projection. Perhaps some relation to Armani Si.”
“Modern mature sophisticated chypre. It exudes confidence and class. A scent to wear when you know what you are and what you are doing. Dry down is even more floral with hint of sweetness, lke a nectarine effect. Its signature worthy and can be unisex on the right personality. Its like a feminine version of Hermes H24. I love it.”
“Hermes perfumes always give this aura of grace and elegance. I love how it smells on my skin during the drydown, with a very herbal scent, a hint of citrus, and a touch of leather. This creation is a breath of fresh air compared to most designer perfumes on the market currently, so I really dig it.”
