About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Carnal Flower opens with a bracing gust of eucalyptus and galbanum, sharpened by bergamot and a fleeting melon sweetness. This green, camphoraceous top quickly gives way to a heart that is all voluptuous white floral: tuberose and jasmine dominate, wrapped in coconut, orange blossom, and ylang-ylang. The base is a warm, skin-like blend of white musk, amber, and animal notes that lingers for hours.

Collectors who appreciate bold, unapologetic florals will find this a modern classic. The camphor and coconut facets make it polarizing, but for those who love tuberose in its full, fleshy glory, Carnal Flower is essential. It suits wearers who are confident and enjoy a scent that announces itself. Best for evening or cooler weather, it is unisex but leans feminine for some. A must-try for fans of Fracas or Tubereuse Criminelle.

中文簡介

Carnal Flower 以尤加利、甜瓜、佛手柑與白松香開場,帶來清涼綠意與微微果香。核心是豐腴的白花:晚香玉與茉莉為主,交織椰子、橙花與依蘭依蘭,營造出濃郁而肉感的氛圍。基調以白麝香、琥珀與動物性香材收尾,溫暖貼膚,持久力強。

呢支香適合自信、鍾意大膽花香嘅用家,尤其係晚香玉愛好者。由於帶有樟腦同椰子氣息,評價兩極,但正因如此先成為經典。最啱夜晚或涼爽天氣使用,雖然標示中性,但部分人會覺得偏女性化。
