Spicy, honeyed carnation with a dash of nutmeg. A lovely cool weather perfume for those who enjoy floral orientals. It has a bright, strong opening where the carnation, honey and nutmeg are clearly identifiable. As it settles, those notes meld together and I can detect a hint of vanilla. Good longevity and sillage.

Sweet mangoes!
I keep on sniffing fresh mangoes! Like a green orange mix mangoes. Mildly sweet and very interesting for a carnations based fragrance! The honey is mildly presented. The nutmeg, and Amber are there.
The colder the more peppery & more spicy it become. Remains interesting as it changes dramatically to spicy peppery carnations with hints of honey.. I keep on sniffing something similar to ” Vitriol d’œillet” by Serge Lutens with that floral washed by pepper and dry spices.

This is the perfect daytime perfume for cold weather: hot and spicy and lively enough to shake me out of the cold doldrums, but also fresh–-it boosts my mood and my energy. It reminds me of Dawn’s Euphorisme d’Opium, which I adore, but scales down the femme fatale quality a little bit and thus is perhaps a bit more wearable in daytime. I’m glad I have it for this cold, cold winter!

It’s so lovely! Fresh beautiful carnation, beeswax, vanilla and a gorgeous spicy incense. Delicious. I think it’s delightful. Very lovely and strong, yet also light and playful. Feminine and rejoicing in it’s spirit. I feel very calm and happy in it, and it lasts so well and I get so many compliments. Everyone else loves it on me. I get many an admiring glance and sniff! My husband thinks it’s really lovely. I love it.

I had this as a decant in a note sampler set. Initially this is seriously overpowering, very harsh, bitter and very spicy. It settles down to a more rounded and smooth carnation spice which is more pleasant but still heavy and overbearing. I don’t get any sweetness or honey from this, nor beeswax, unless that is what gives some of the roundness. This isn’t at all floral or feminine, its has a masculine tone to me like a peppery aftershave. I would love nuzzling up to a man who smelled of this, but on me it just doesn’t work.

It is spicy, it is interesting, it is sophisticated, it lasts a long time… I just don’t love carnations. Even when they are well done, this is not the smell I like. Dawn smelled beeswax on me during the middle stage, but to me beeswax was shut out by the carnations. Oh well, it’s good to know that sometimes even if a note works ON you it still may not work FOR you because you’re just not fond of it.
