I would call this a "lurking carnation" scent. On my skin the rose and jasmine dominate, with a soupçon of clove. The oeillet (carnation) that I was hoping for is just not present enough. Nevertheless, it's a truly delightful fragrance!

Finally sampled this over the weekend, as I tend to like the carnation note in other fragrances. To echo everyone's sentiments above - CLOVE!!!!!! - it smelled like a clove Necco wafer to me, even after a few hours on the skin.

Starts with a peppery/clove bite which mellows to a soft, delicate spicy carnation with a hint of red rose and jasmine with a undercurrent of spice to blend it all to gether. Cooling on a hot summer day or warm and comforting in winter.

Hello, CLOVES! The clove note is so dominant in this fragrance, I really don't sense the rose and jasmine floral that foetidus writes of smelling. A bit sharp and slightly thin, reminds me of a (cheap) scent I smelled about 25 years ago called White Witch - from Jamaica. After about an hour or so, the cloves calm and become less assertive. I would say Comme des Garcons version of carnation is a realistic representation of the flower. I personally prefer a blend, with creamier depth, such as Caron's Bellodgia. Personal taste aside, I must give this flower a thumbs up ~ it's quite good.

Excellent spicy carnation scent leaning towards feminine side but is still very suitable for men too. Pure, fresh carnation mixed mainly with cloves. It smells fresh and warm at the same time.

I swear the scent is strikingly similar to the smell of one sun lotion I know, and not exactly just like that lotion itself ; it smells like a skin which has been lotioned and then warmed up by the heat of the sun.

This is fantastic fragrance.

This is the only scent that I have smelled that really smell like carnation. So rich and spicy. One of my all time favorites.
