This is all about CARNATION. There is a hint of citrus in the top, then a very creamy, spicy carnation. Smooth. I also would swear there is sandalwood in this, too. The drydown has a bit of wood in it. This “reminds” of Bellodgia but is not as complex as that masterpiece. This is good. A modern carnation with a classic/vintage vibe.

Carnation is a tricky note and it’s perfectly done here in L’Heure Convoiteé II. The carnation keeps it’s authentic spicy note, but is softened by the powdery make-up notes of iris and sweetened with a light strawberry.
L’Heure Convoiteé II is a unique scent. It doesn’t smell like anything else on the market. There are other great carnation scents, but I can’t think of one that goes so fully in the powdery direction and avoids other spice notes. All the spice is pure carnation.
The Heures collection is chock full of well-done scents.
This one is exceptionally beautiful.

beautiful fragrance! a long lasting trail of strawberry/carnation/iris reminiscent of “L’air du temps”.
One of my favourite carnations EVER. long lasting and with a perfect projection. A masterpiece.

This is an interesting carnation fragrance, representing both the floral and spicy aspects of the plant. Iris, clove, pepper and carnation dominate the opening, in the drydown the carnations are accompanied by roses. I think there is some vanilla and sandalwood too, the fragrance definitely has a creamy side, although it is mainly a powdery clove scent on my skin. The drydown is quite linear, the fragrance just fades away.
I had a 4ml tester of the EdP and while I enjoyed it a lot, I don’t see myself spending over 200e on a bottle. It stays quite close to the skin and lasts about 5h (nose-on-wrist). Although this is one of the best carnation fragrances I have tried and like the spicy and floral accords, it feels a bit unfinished at times. If you love carnations, it is worth giving this one a try if it crosses your path, but no need to feel like you are missing out something very special if you haven’t got a chance to sniff this.
