Our version of this classic scent is truly outstanding, but VERY SHARP. Carnation should have a subtle hint of spice (but not too spicy) base notes with a delicate blend of pretty floral and fresh top and middle notes. OOB this scent is strong. The dry down is to die for. Try blending this fragrance with lily, rose, lilac, and other soft floral aromas to give it an oriental flair.
