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 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.

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.
