    Not the chilly/spicy scent of carnations out of the florist's refrigerator or the richly spicy and honeyed smell of carnations growing in the heat, but carnation-like enough to qualify as a...

    Spicy, hot, zesty, fresh, and (according to my Husband) "that really sexy perfume." My favorite fragrance ever--a floral/oriental that is not sweet in the least-- just va va va voom sensually...

    Sweet, clean carnations. I loved this, but my husband apparently hates carnation, so I ended up swapping the sample. This goes on as true carnation, but ends up just a little bit synthetic. It...

    I love this. I would call this an all weather sort of scent, spicy and floral for warmer weather, and has the warmth for cooler months too. I would call this a true carnation and I love...

    I was sooo disappointed in this. I thought it smelled synthetic, like if plastic carnations were scented in the factory, this might be what it would be like. I'm probably being hard on this scent,...

    Eh. Way too pricey for what it is. Truthfully, Skindescent's "Pink Carnation" is much, much better. Stronger, spicier, longer-lasting. Not so wimpy at a fraction of the price.

    Red hots in the very topnotes. Then it goes to a nonpowdery carnation with clove and some barely earthy notes which are nice and make it more realistic. It is not a complex carnation scent (see...

    I smelled honeyed carnation at first. Mmm. Fresh carnation, warmed up with yummy clove and cinnamon spices, and a liberal touch of rose. I guess that makes it a floriental. No powder at all. ...

    I am a carnation freak and love carnations in just about all of their incantations. This one is very spicy with cloves and cinnamon and no powder that I detect. It lasts a long time on the...

    I love love love carnation scents (and rose too!) This is probably my favorite clovey carnation scent. It's just gorgeously green, full and alive smelling. It's long lasting --- and not too...

    I find peppery scents appealing so this is a little gem for me. Anyone fond of Lush's Potion scent will be pleased with this scent.

    I love carnations and have several bushes of them in my garden but this fragrance fails to capture that clovey but fresh green scent. Instead this smells funereal to me. It's heavy with very little...

    A carnation buried in red-hot cinnamon candies. But, hey, I don't like any spices, so maybe I'm being hyper-sensitive.

    If powdery carnations (Malmaison, Bellodgia) turn you off, this might be for you. It's crisp and watery with a bare hint of spice. Lasting power of a body spray makes this not FBW at full price.

    A very nice floral fragrance but certainly nothing too complex or sophisticated or even majorly carnation-y. It reminds me a lot of Crabtree and Evelyn fragrances - maybe Summer Hill? It is floral,...

    Wow. This is the best carnation I've tried along with Guerlain's Metallica. I have yet to sample JAR Golconda, but really, I think this is as good as they come. This is a soft, spicy carnation,...

    This is a slightly spicy carnation, lovely and wearable, simple and light. It's not exactly like a fresh carnation scent that I had hoped for, but I do detect the flower, among the spice notes...
