Thameen The Black Carnation is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Alexandra Carlin. The Black Carnation opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Pistachio, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Suede, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Thameen's The Black Carnation carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is a real head-turner, a unique take on florals and suede that everyone's raving about. It's lush, luxurious, and makes a statement without shouting. A standout from Thameen, proving that 'different' can be utterly gorgeous.

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.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Casual

Its excellent projection and warm, sophisticated profile make it a fantastic choice for dates and formal events, creating an alluring aura. While it can be worn casually, its richness might feel a bit much for everyday wear, and its intensity makes it less suitable for office environments or sport.

About

Opening with a surprising salted pistachio and bright citrus kick, Black Carnation quickly melts into a creamy, almost biscuit-like heart. Here, the unique dryness of carnation and opulent ylang-ylang intertwine, not as fresh cut flowers, but as something more contemplative and rich. The base settles into a smooth, buttery suede, caressed by warm vanilla and soft sandalwood, offering a velvety, luxurious finish that’s both comforting and deeply sensual.
