I used an entire bottle of this fragrance upon its first release. It was one of my favorite warm-weather scents, a spicy floral. Carnation lovers will know what I'm talking about. I was so sad...

I'm not generally a floral fragrance person, except for my outright passion for certain iris fragrances--I love Apres l'Ondee, Prada's Iris, l'Artisan's Iris and SL's Iris Silver Mist. In some...

This is a special scent for me because of a dear friend I shared beautiful dinners out when she used to come to my town for work, talking about nearly everything and laughing. On my skin Oeillet...

My new favorite girly frag, HG definately. Spicy Bellogia! This is easier on the nose and not so old lady-ish. I can spray this everywhere without a sneezing fit. It still smells on me at the end...

Wild carnation -- must be different than the floral shop carnation because I detect absolutely NO carnation in this scent. It smells like a highly fragrant bouquet of mixed flowers. What I smell...

Very nice, wearable, slightly powdery, peppery floral scent. I found it very similar to L'air du Temps, but OS is even softer and more wearable. On the other hand, L'air du Temps is cheaper, widely...

I detected no carnation scent at all in this fragrance. For a great carnation scent try Caron's Bellodgia. It is vastly better than Oeillet Sauvage. OS smells like very sweet vanilla to me -...

Sweet, powdery carnation. Maybe a bit one-dimensional for me -- it lacks those tantalizing what-IS-that hints of other notes that make other L'Artisan fragrances so memorable. Very natural...

This was the first niche fragrance I purchased and I still love it. The carnation, spiciness and the sweet powder (which isn't too pronounced on me) combine to make a fragrance that is never dull...

I managed to snag an original bottle of this and happily it hasn't turned. This reminds me of a Crabtree and Evelyn carnation soap I adored when I was little. I didn't use it for years-- I just...

I love this scent, but as far as carnation fragrances go this one is far out in the hinterlands on the distant border of carnation territory. Some reviewers appear to think it's over the border...

I LOVE this fragrance! I waited a long time before I even had any desire to try this fragrance. When I saw the words "powdery carnation" in the desription, I immediately thought I would hate it if...

A spicy carnation which dries into a baby powdery carnation. I like Malmaison ten times better. This one is just too powdery for me.

I dislike carnation flowers but I love the fragrance. My favorite carnation is Floris' Malmaison, very spicy and bright. This is a subtle, feminine version of carnation that whispers its presence...

A lovely carnation scent although L'Artisan lists no actual carnation in the notes. Instead it lists ylang-ylang and rose for the "carnation accord" and pink berries and pepper as the head notes (...

Even though carnations are one of the most common flowers, this perfume is something special. I don't particularly care for the scent of actual carnations--they remind me of tacky corsages or...

I simply love this. It's a beautiful scent. Soft, feminine. It's a very gentle floral. The base notes do have a powdery scent, but I don't get those until I've worn it a few hours. I don't...

Normally I like L'artisan, but this one doesn't thrill me. As others have said, it's a powdery/baby lotion kind of smell. I LOVE the clovey scent of carnations but I can't really smell them in this...

I got samples of this and the SMN Garofano at Aedes, and the SA told me he didn't like this, and that the SMN was much better. Well, I sort of feel the opposite- on me, the SMN was musty and...
