Noble Carnation by Royal Apothic was a happy discovery about 4 years ago. A local shop had this and other Royal Apothic scents for half off (they were no longer going to carry the brand). I really fell for it because it is both spicy and sweet, but not overly sweet like candy. The cassis in this is more like black currant liquor, so it has a sharp tartness to it. The cloves plus the carnation make it spicy and slightly sweet and peppery, and mouth-watering, almost edible. I went through an entire 3.3 oz bottle and recently purchased another when they were having a 35% off sale. The longevity is AMAZING. I can smell it on my skin 12+ hours.
Good news! I just received an email coupon that states that EVERYTHING they carry is 50% this evening. Use the promo code ROYALFLASH50 to get 50% off everything (free shipping for $75+)
If I did not have so many other bottles, I would be buying another one this evening because I love it and it’s half off (normally $55 for a 3.3 oz bottle). The bottle itself is beautiful but I really enjoy the fragrance. It is linear, not much will change over those 12 hours on your skin, but if you like it at first contact, then you will love it later once it becomes one with your skin.

I got a small bottle of this at one of our local shops yesterday. I had never heard of the manufacturer, but since I love carnation, cloves and sandalwood I thought I’d give it a try.
This is a very nice, very soft sweetish (but not candy floss sweet) spicy scent. Unfortunately, it stays very close to the skin. No sillage to speak of and the longevity is … well, it’s practically D.O.A.
Why? WHY? What’s the point of making scents that don’t last and that one can barely smell on oneself? Rhetorical question, really, so don’t bother to reply. I’ve heard it all before and none of it was convincing.
Pity, though. It’s a lovely scent. I’m glad I only paid $20 for it.
