The essence of Cardinal
Cardinal of James Heeley it is an eastern fragrance built around one of the oldest traditions of perfumery: the use of incense, myrrh and the ladan. His personality was born precisely from that dialogue between resinous subjects of a deep character and a fresh linen opening that brings luminosity and lightness.
The composition presents a contemporary vision of incense perfumes. Instead of leaning exclusively on a dark or solemn sensation, Cardinal introduces a clean and lightweight linen note from the beginning, accompanied by black pepper and pink pepper.
As it evolves, the fragrance goes into a heart dominated by mirra, incense of oliban and french lush. The Fund of Amber, Pachulí and Vetiver prolongs that mystical character and provides a wooden, earthy and elegant dimension.

An olfactory
A clean and spicy output
Cardinal begins with a unique combination of linen, black pepper and pink pepper. The linen introduces a fresh and clean sensation, while the two peppers provide a spicy dimension that prevents the opening from being excessively light.
This contrast between purity and spices prepare the way for the deepest character of the composition. The output functions as a transition between the initial lightness and the resinous universe that appears later.
A heart of incense, myrrh and ladan
The heart constitutes the core of Cardinal. The mirra, the incense of oliban and the french ladan they form a resinous structure of great personality.
Mirra and incense contribute depth and a mystical character, while the ladan introduces a warm and enveloping facet. It is in this phase where the fragrance shows more clearly its connection with the Eastern tradition and with the subjects historically associated with incense.

This combination provides depth to the stele and maintains the sophisticated character of Cardinal. The result is a background with personality, but balanced by cleaning that had marked the beginning of the composition.

The vision of James Heeley
James Heeley it raises a contemporary interpretation of traditional incense matters in Cardinal. The composition is based on a recognizable structure —fircase, oliban and ladano— but introduces an unexpectedly clean opening by linen.
This contrast is fundamental to understanding the personality of the fragrance. The lightness of the line is prevents the whole from perceiving excessively dark, while spices contribute energy and resins build depth.
The result is a proposal for perfumery alemporal, in which tradition and modernity coexist. Cardinal retains the solemn and mystical character associated with incense, but it expresses it with a clean and contemporary aesthetic.

Cómo siempre envío perfecto y trato excepcional
Fui a buscar un regalo y me ayudaron bastante a elegir. Tienen muchas opciones y al final encontré algo que encajaba justo con lo que buscaba.
Qué barbaridad, qué perfumería, qué trato. Me desplacé de otra ciudad porque en la mía no hay perfumerías más allá de las típicas cadenas comerciales. El trato ha sido espectacular. Sin duda repetiré. Estuve mas de una hora probando perfumes de todo tipo, tienen gamas inimaginables, es bárbara la colección que hay allí. Super amables y cercanas. Hacía tiempo que no me trataban tan bien en un comercio. Si te gustan los perfumes, esto es la meca de todos los negocios.
