Collection: Carnation Perfumes.

Carnation perfume smells warm and spicy-floral, a peppery clove note wrapped in soft petal, the classic old-fashioned 'clove pink' character that reads richer and more grown-up than a plain floral. On Scendira, 57 perfumes carry carnation as a listed note, most often in the Floral family (49%), followed by Woody (14%) and a four-way tie for third: Fresh, Warm & Amber, Spicy, and Gourmand, each at 7%. Woody is the most common accord alongside carnation, appearing in 54% of these perfumes, with warm spicy (47%) and floral (47%) close behind. By community mentions, the most-discussed carnation perfumes on Scendira are Maison Asrar Vanguard, Lattafa Qaa'ed, and Amouage Honour Woman. The note skews unisex (53%), with a feminine lean in about a third (32%), a smaller masculine share (12%), and gender unspecified for a few (4%). Prices range from $15.34 to $653.89, with most landing near $37.99. Filter by note or vibe below, or ask Dira to match a specific carnation perfume to what you actually want to smell like.

Which Families Carry Carnation

Carnation shows up most in Floral perfumes (49% of the 57), where its peppery clove warmth adds spice to a soft petal base. It's the second most common pairing in Woody blends (14%), where it grounds a warmer, more grown-up structure, and it appears in smaller, roughly even numbers across Fresh, Warm & Amber, Spicy, and Gourmand (7% each), leaning fully into its clove character wherever it lands in a Spicy blend.

Who Carnation Suits

Best for: anyone who wants a spicy-floral with real warmth and a bit of bite, not a plain sweet flower. Carnation pairs naturally with woody, warm spicy, and floral notes. Sample first if: you haven't worn clove-forward scents before, since the pepper can read as sharp before it settles into the floral base. Skip if: you want something soft and fruity. A pick from Fruity will serve you better than anything filed under Carnation.
