Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Garofano opens with a bright citrus group of neroli, bergamot, lemon and mandarin. In the heart, clove, rosemary, petitgrain and lavender make it spicy and herbal, which suits the carnation theme. The base is carnation itself, with benzoin adding a soft, resinous sweetness. It is a classic spicy floral, dated 1828, that reads as clean, aromatic and refined.
