Description
The first few seconds of this carnation fragrance impart the scent of a freshly cut bouquet emerging into the light of day: the flowers not quite awake, but still imbued with all the mystery of their last night in the earth. Then, ignited by a floral, spicy, peppery, earthy explosion of petals charred by incense, this carnation in absolute reveals itself as a fierce and wild floral fragrance. Its natural affinity with clove acquires full force here, supported by a double peppery note – rose and cayenne – which teases the senses, making a delicacy of the serrated petals and offering a pact between wantonness and elegance. And even though with each passing second it softens with a hint of rose, this mischievous fragrance appears to turn olfactory intelligence on its head: is it a carnation that dreams of being a rose, or a rose that dreams of being a carnation? In fact, this essential oil of real Bulgarian Rose – the symbol of unconditional love – seems to embody the carnation’s vocation, since the Latin name for carnation, ‘Dianthus’, derives from the Greek and means ‘Flower of the Gods’.
