ivy_fiddlefox Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I can definately smell the carnation. This is fresh and slightly woodsy. Like a fresh green garden in the rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelly B Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I can definately smell the carnation. This is fresh and slightly woodsy. Like a fresh green garden in the rain I am so jealous - it didn't come yet... maybe tomorrow. Oh please, oh please. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelly B Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I am so jealous - it didn't come yet... maybe tomorrow. Oh please, oh please. :-) So - the Carnation totally pops on me. Which is awesome. From scent memory - here is the homage: The heirloom carnations in my Great Grandma’s garden. As a poor immigrant to this country - this was all the home fragrance she could get. If you didn't grow it - you didn't have it. The Gardenia I was given to nurse to bloom in a Michigan windowsill. Yal’ll know Gardenia’s and Michigan don’t mix right? Because personally - the fact I got it to bloom several years in a row - a miracle for what was then a novice and teenage gardener. Lillies - my favorite delivered flower - since Heirloom Carnations are not widely available - and because the DH needs to send them fairly often. Spicy, green and magic. A gift of memory and a parfumier’s genius. My greatest thanks. Of all the three PE's - while I may wear another more (Shelly B's Honeyed Amber and Musk is my suspected winner) I will not treasure anything above this spicy, warm, sweet and green scent. I could wear it to work every day. And I might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sultry brunette Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I was a little leery of this because of the lily. It is surprisingly subtle. The carnation and gardenia really come out, the lily is in the background. It almost smells like a watery floral the way the notes dance in and out together.

Felt under the weather so I put this on before bed last night. (Another wonderful idea from the LP boards.) It was nice that every time I woke up feeling not so great, I did so to carnations/gardenia. SB is right - the lily is really in the background - there - but soft.

likeprettythings Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Very floral and smelling just like a bouquet freshly picked. The gardenia and carnation overwhelmed the lily on me, but the gardenia was the one note that took center stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synergist Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I get a combination of greens and florals from this. Like the whole flower has been captured, stems and all. It's a bit tangy like lemon-y to me. Overall it's a little too florally for my liking, but it's ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
