If you do not like Clove or are sensitive to certain scents , this formulation is likely not for you. The problem with Carnation is that there just aren't many Carnation fragrances on the market and it's common for them to smell phony. I introduced this formulation after working on it for 5 years to get it just right. It's a dead ringer and it lasts. That said, this fragrance is slow to develop. Please do not judge the scent without spraying it on you and waiting five minutes for it to slowly develop. It's very strong, so I recommend going with the Eau De Parfum unless you have trouble holding fragrance. One spray only no higher on the body than the wrist. My wife says it smells just like a Red Carnation. If you are one of the many people who have been trying to find the real Carnation scent in a Perfume, your search is over.
