bruiseviolet Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 This came out exactly how I wanted! It's primarily a spicy carnation scent. The pink cake is just a subtle feeling. As it dries down the cake comes out more but it is still not a cake scent. Its more like a carnation scent that reminds you of a cake. I'm so happy with how it turned out and I love it. I think I will need backup bottles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halo0073 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 The carnation is really light in this for me. It's like carnation bubblegum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rose Blackthorn Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 This sounds very pretty in a pinky way for people who can do the floral scents! Carnation is a nice heart for a perfume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olderbutwiser Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) Was so excited over seeing carnation in the list of two of the PE's that I just had to order both Lindee's Pinky Sweet and Tyvee's Flora Royal. Love the piggy pic on Lindee's Pinky Sweet! I'm going to wear it over UN Cougar. Should have them soon. ETA: After a couple of weeks, the fragrance doesn't seem to be as strong....hmmmm Edited June 11, 2014 by Olderbutwiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amalthea1978 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Olderbutwiser if you're looking for carnation, I'm pretty sure it's also in Charlene's Sanctuary, which was a PE from March. If I'm remembering correctly, I think there might have been one more bottle left. Pinky Sweet will be my second carnation scent - can't wait to get it so I can compare! All the other notes are very different though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olderbutwiser Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Almathea: Thanks! Carnations remind me of my mom. She loved them and we always used to wear them to church on Mother's Day. I remember how she'd take white ones and stick them in a glass with some green food coloring/water and they'd turn green for St. Patrick's Day. She also adored violets and roses and cherished her rose bushes. My own backyard is full of violets right now. If it ever warms up my iris will bloom. My crocus and daffies alrelady bloomed. Still waiting for my lily of the valley and paper whites. It was a ruff winter storm so we lost some lilac trees and a cherry tree. Guess it's time to replant. I love this old place....It's 114 yrs. old this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Ducky Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 This is very carnation forward on me, which is PERFECT. It's like water the first few seconds, then BOOM!!! It takes off and starts blooming into this luscious carnation-spice scent that I want to tattoo on my olfactory buds. Well done, BV! Very well done indeed!

hearts Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 First off, those pigs on the label tho.. They are so cute! The fragrance is mainly carnation on me. Thankfully, the spice from the carnation starts to tame down after about 25min. My skin likes to bring out the spice in ANY scent with the tiniest hint of it. The drydown still has carnation as the star of this scent, sweetened up with light vanilla and a tinge of cotton candy. Like BV said above, it's not a cake scent. But it does give it a subtle backdrop of sweetness. It's a very pretty carnation scent! Good work BV and Mara! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amalthea1978 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 This is very carnation forward on me, which is PERFECT. It's like water the first few seconds, then BOOM!!! It takes off and starts blooming into this luscious carnation-spice scent that I want to tattoo on my olfactory buds. I agree! It was so strange, when I first put it on it barely smelled like anything at all - I was so disappointed! But in a matter of minutes it was practically screaming carnations. It does remind me alot of Sanctuary, but much sweeter. I think carnation is going to be a good scent for me:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olderbutwiser Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Received this yesterday and wore it over OCCO Pink, UNCougar and Cougar Potion Spray. Love it. Just the right carnation notes for me, not too heavy. I tried it alone today and then with a little LP Pink over it....nice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StacyK Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) Going with this today with a bit of Lumina. It's very interesting. The carnation in this is the one that goes soapy on me. I would not have guessed that type of carnation would show up here. To my surprise it works. I don't get bubblegum but I think I know what halo was getting there. Fortunately I get more carnation on top, with a sweet pink foody scent as a base. I don't get cake really, just foodie. It's also not very sweet on me. This is a fun scent. Floral, pink, a little foody and a little sweet. Pretty and feminine. Young'ish but not "little girl". I feel very happy & comfortable in this.

Amalthea1978 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 So I wore this for a full day yesterday for the first time, and it just keeps getting better. My little review above was just from initial testing. And it's true that when it's wet, this is loud spicy carnation on me (which I like). But after about 2-3 hours this one dries down to a much sweeter scent. The carnation is still definitely there, but it's more in the background and the foody notes take over. If I remember correctly, I think there was some cotton candy in this? I think that's what I'm smelling the most, just with carnations:) The carnation is really light in this for me. It's like carnation bubblegum. Yep, kind of like that! It also lasts forever, which I think was true of the other PE I ordered for this month too. So far I think I'm two for two on this order!

Olderbutwiser Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) I'm enjoying this one a lot. Just the right amount of carnation without overpowering spiciness and the label on this one. Edited June 11, 2014 by Olderbutwiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuTrix Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 OH! There's that carnation spiciness I've just learned about! I recognize it from my recent PE. I never realized carnation as a scent before that and this was the note that hit me first. I had forgotten the notes in LPS but as son as I smelled it I recognized the carnation and squealed out loud only slightly embarrassing as only the pups were actually here to be startled by me. This is Spicy and sweet pink goodness. This IS sugar and spice and EVERYTHING nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaia Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Yes! Spicy, sweet carnation!! It's everything I hoped it would be. As soon as I saw the notes in this one, I knew I had to have it. I had a previous carnation love that resembled this, but sadly that was an LE that has been long gone..... This is perfect for my carnation needs and I adore it! Thank you, Bruiseviolet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
