The Black Carnation

by Alexandra Carlin

Thameen The Black Carnation is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Alexandra Carlin. The Black Carnation opens with Mandarin, Pistachio, and Bergamot, 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 woody-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.

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.
