The carnation scent is spicy, floral, and slightly clove-like, offering a classic and elegant aroma with a warm, peppery nuance. Its soft, powdery undertones add sophistication and timeless charm to fragrances.
The carnation’s unique scent profile comes from eugenol, the molecule responsible for its clove-like spiciness, and floral compounds like isoeugenol. It is commonly used in heart accords, where it brings depth and a rich floral dimension to chypre, floral, and spicy fragrances.
Compared to other floral notes like rose or jasmine, carnation is spicier and less sweet, making it ideal for crafting bold and vintage-inspired scented products. Perfect for candles, soaps, and room mists, the carnation scent adds a touch of refined elegance to your creations.
