What does Carnal Flower (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer, with winter chosen less often. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and is picked less for the office. Voters mostly call it feminine, though about a fifth find it masculine.
It opens with bergamot, eucalyptus and melon, a fresh, green start. The heart is jasmine absolute, ylang-ylang and salicylate, forming a full floral core. The base brings tuberose and orange blossom absolutes, coconut and white musk, which sweeten it and add a creamy, faintly animal warmth.
