What does Dianthus smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with fall close behind, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Most voters read it as feminine.

It opens green and fresh with Bourbon geranium, rose absolute and Florida orange. Pink pepper and ginger add spice in the heart, while carnation carries the floral line. In the base, vanilla absolute, musk and Atlas cedar sweeten it and settle it into a powdery, woody finish. Serge Lutens Sa majesté la rose and L'Artisan Parfumeur Œillet Sauvage have a close profile.
