CARNATION | Absolute

Pure Dianthus caryophyllus absolute.

The Carnation flower has a mysterious, luxurious, comforting-yet-euphoric aroma, corroborated and supported by history. Indeed, the flowers were strongly associated with love, weddings, and fidelity. In the Victorian language of flowers, it symbolizes pure love. Carnations were also the main flowers used by the ancient Greeks in the making of garlands and coronets, from which its name is derived.

Carnation Absolute is a rare and opulent floral extract, capturing the timeless elegance of fresh carnation blooms with their distinctive spiced, clove-like aroma. Its rich floral heart is warmed by eugenol, the natural compound responsible for carnation’s signature spicy character, while soft green and balsamic undertones lend depth and complexity.

Long cherished in classic and natural perfumery, carnation absolute evokes a vintage sophistication—an aromatic bridge between radiant florals and warm, ambery resins. It enhances compositions with its bold, yet powdery warmth, and yields charismatic notes of honey and spice with a breath of floral languor.
