Carnation

48 perfumes

Derived from the Dianthus caryophyllus flower, carnation is defined by its spicy, clove-like eugenol profile, offering a powdery, peppery, and honeyed floral depth. Primarily a heart note, it provides a bridge between crisp florals and warm resins. In Gulf perfumery, carnation is a sophisticated, nostalgic addition, frequently layered with Taif rose or saffron to enhance the spice-forward, opulent character favored in the region. It adds a vintage, velvety elegance that grounds complex oriental compositions with a distinct, aromatic, and spicy signature.
