Floral Notes

Carnation

Carnation has a spicy, warm, and slightly peppery floral scent with a rich, clove-like undertone. It is intense and vibrant, with a green and slightly sweet nuance that evokes a fresh, slightly sharp botanical character.
Origin and Extraction
Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) is native to the Mediterranean region, particularly Spain and Portugal. The essential oil is typically extracted through steam distillation of the flower petals, though absolute and concrete extractions are also used in high-end perfumery.
History and Culture
Carnations have a rich cultural history, symbolizing love, fascination, and distinction in many cultures. They were particularly popular in Victorian flower language and have been cultivated for centuries. In perfumery, they became prominent in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, featuring in iconic fragrances like Guerlain's Carnation and various classic European perfumes.
Chemistry and Molecular Structure
The distinctive scent of carnation comes from its complex chemical composition, including eugenol (which gives the clove-like smell), benzyl benzoate, and various terpenes. The primary aromatic compounds contribute to its spicy, warm, and slightly peppery olfactory profile.
