ResinousWhat does Nelke smell like?
Carnation, jasmine and rose make up the floral side, while black pepper and clove add a spicy edge on top of them. Sweetness and a resinous, oriental warmth carry the most weight, and the powdery feel softens everything.
Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards evenings and leisure time. Voters call it feminine, yet a sizeable share also see it as masculine.
