I think this is my new favorite. It was worth every penny. It is a very intense aroma and comes through in my blends so well. I don't see anyone else saying this but to me it smells very fruity as well. It just has such a bright and juicy top note. Very beautiful and complex oil and I will be purchasing a much larger bottle next time!

I'm a sucker for spicy florals Review by

It's tough to choose when asked, "what's your favorite floral in perfumery?" To which I can never truly answer. As for my skin... I think my skin would cry out, "CARNATION!" My skin seems to love carnation and together they sing in harmony. When I sample this neat, it is waxy, spicy (clove for sure with aspects of nutmeg and clove) and honeyed. The floral aspect of it is muted until hours later when it softly blooms. It's waxiness, and honeyed aspects remind me of the frangipani absolute, which Eden used to carry. There are noticeable differences between Lots 8 & 9 (which I have). 9 is bolder than 8 and deeper in color too. One lacking judgement I am afraid, and perhaps warrants a question from the oils room: Why is the material not fully soluble in perfumer's alcohol? I was able to filter out a considerable weight of this absolute, evidently waxes... If I could take a guess, I would say 1/8 - almost a 1/4 of this materials weight is wax. Aside from that I do treasure carnation, and so does my skin.

Melancholic Flower Review by

This floral aroma is intense, warm, spicy (like spices), a little sad, melancholic and reminiscent of the past ... this flower is used as an offering at funerals and its smell is spread like the soul of the deceased, which is why it is a sad and painful aroma flower

I hesitated to buy this based on the mixed reviews, but I'm glad I did. To me, it has the scent of fresh carnations. It's floral, green, with a light powdery note. Overall, it's very fresh with a hint of soft spice. I would use this as a single note perfume with fractionated coconut oil or perfumer's alcohol. Or, I could see blending this with other complimentary essential oils to make a more complex fragrance. Can't wait to buy a larger size!

Purchased the sample size of Carnation Absolute. I have worked with it in the past, as a novice perfumer at an aromatherapy shop, and adored its green, floral, spicy, warm fragrance. This absolute was nothing like that! Its acrid fragrance was the first that I smelled when I opened my box, and I frantically opened and smelled each sample trying to find the one that smelled 'off'. I tried applying it to my skin, expecting to smell a mild, spicy floral, and it settled down into a fragrance that was green, mildly floral, and dominantly antiseptic. The other samples I purchased were above expectation but this one was such a disappointment!

Thank you EB for the samples! So tickled to try before buying. Here is a beginners thought on carnation absolute. It smells like a hothouse full of easter lilies at various stages of bloom. Very potent and long lasting just from a teeny smear from the tiny dropper. as it mellows (or drys down, as terminology goes) it gets quieter and and sweeter. I do not smell any spices, just pure sweet green floral.

if you continue to base your expectations on fantasy synthetic fragrances, cheap bar soaps, and potpourri you bought at Ross, you will always be disappointed.
Real vanilla smells woody and slightly animalic, real rose is subtle and not overt, real carnation never smells like the flower, real tuberose is rubbery and not sweet, agarwood smells like a barnyard, jasmine often smells like infant diapers, etc. You have to learn how to create accords using these materials.

I ordered a small sample of this to test. I get where the last reviewer is coming from. This opens up a bit fulsome and tinged with chemicals (not that is necessarily, but the nose's perception of it could be that). I still proceed with it as I'm curious about how it performs on skin and with time.
I would say its dominant character is herbaceous. No potpourri or cloves as you might receive in a carnation soap. It settles down quickly to warm middle note of green carnation petal tips. The sense I get is that of the crushed tips of petals. I think it could be very intriguing as a player in the mid-notes of a blend.

Given the previous reviews, the sample I received must have come from a bad batch because there is absolutely no scent of carnation in it. There is a very slight hint of the vanilla someone else mentioned, but predominantly there is a very unpleasant chemical smell.

Notes from the oil room at EB: Carnation Absolute will never smell like the fresh flowers. It is often adulterated with Clove or Cinnamon to impart the spicy note that people expect. True Carnation Absolute is very green, herbaceous with a warm honey note. It is customary to dilute highly concentrated absolutes in alcohol or a carrier oil in order to fully perceive the fragrance, which then opens up beautifully and has a delicate aroma upon dry down. - JMF
