It’s a delectable amber with focus on the gourmand aspect of that ancient perfume recipe. Usually, an amber mix would require a resin (labdanum, benzoin, etc.), patchouli and vanilla. In Beso Canalla this sweet component often represented and highlighted by vanilla was extended to many dimensions. It starts with gently sweet bergamot, descends into caramelized a sugar accord in the heart and dries down into a sweet sandalwood and amber amalgamation.
In the Beso perfume trilogy this formula represents the relaxed afternoon when you have had your early morning swim and are now gathering energies for the night out ahead (chilling in the sweet shade with an ice cold orangeade, feet buried in warm sand).
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the scent of lingering after the swim, skin still warm from the sun, when the day is slowing but the evening has not yet begun. It suits close, easy company and a slightly teasing presence: sweet, sun-baked, and just polished enough to carry into night.
How to wear
Best in warm weather and mild evenings, where its sugar, amber and sandalwood can bloom without turning heavy. Apply lightly at first; one to three sprays is enough for a soft but noticeable trail, with the sweetness staying close to the skin and the woody base giving it shape in the air.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like gourmand amber with a sensual, woody frame rather than a syrupy dessert effect. It will appeal to those drawn to sweet, resinous scents with a sunlit, unisex character and a relaxed, slightly provocative mood.
Release year
2018
The nose
Annick Menardo is known for shaping modern woody-amber and gourmand compositions with a bold, tactile signature. Her work often balances sweetness with structure, giving fragrances a polished but unmistakably sensual edge; here, that instinct turns amber into something more edible and sun-warmed, with caramel, labdanum and sandalwood carrying the composition rather than simply supporting it.
Collaborators
The Beso Beach concept was developed as a collaboration with Carner Barcelona and Beso Beach Restaurants, translating the atmosphere of the beach clubs into fragrance. The brand’s creative brief for the collection also shaped the day-part structure of the line, with Beso Canalla positioned as the afternoon scent and tied to the Tulum location.
Beso Beach’s story
Beso Beach builds fragrances as souvenirs of a specific place and time, turning the atmosphere of its beach clubs into wearable scent. The house leans into destination-driven storytelling, small-batch craft and a relaxed Mediterranean-meets-Mexico sensuality rather than conventional luxury polish.
Beso Canalla’s concept
Beso Canalla was launched in 2018 as part of the Beso Beach collection and is associated with the mid-day mood of Tulum in the Riviera Maya. Its idea is a lazy lunch on white sand, with rustic pots of lavender and wild orange nearby, then a gradual shift into a sweeter, more nocturnal amber warmth.
Extra info
Beso Canalla is part of a three-fragrance Beso Beach story built around different times of day and different beach-club locations. The bottle is finished with a wooden cap made from sustainably managed European wood.
