I had to order some of my favorite fragrances last week and got a free sample of "Carnation". I expected it to smell like a flower, but got a big whiff of cinnamon! I was shocked, and thought surely it was just my smeller being all wonky from soaping a lot these past couple days, so I made my hubby smell it without telling him what it was, and he said "Oh, it's cinnamon!". Lol. Did anyone else get that sample?

I got a couple bottles, I love it. I'm a fan of both florals and spicy fragrances, so a blend of each makes me happy. OOB it's much spicier than carnations, but in both soap and lotion it settled down to a very close wild carnation scent. I've been blending it with BB Grass Stain at a couple different ratios; heavier on the Carnation it smells just like a carnation bouquet, heavier on the Grass Stain it starts to smell almost like dandelions.

Ok, for a bit I thought maybe the fragrance in the bottle was an oops! But I looked at the reviews and people there said it smelled like clove, and since you say it's spicy I guess it's really the carnation fragrance! It smells pretty strong, and I can't imagine it smelling even remotely floral, don't you just love how saponification can change the scent to something completely different from the oob impression?

I had the same reaction as you AND this FO smeels so much like my grandmothers perfume (and the perfume is just as strong)! I might have to do a test batch and see how it goes....

Real carnation does have soft clove notes in it.

I'm gonna keep reading what you all do with the carnation fragrance because I don't like the smell of it at all from the bottle and didn't realize I could ask for different samples until after my 4th order last month, ugh! But I loved the tobacco and bay leaf a couple months ago and order more. I don't like the lemon cake sample I got and I don't like the one from this month either .....just fussy I guess.

I soaped it and it really tones down a lot after cure. I like it. It did accelerate a tad bit on me so I wouldn't discount water. I may try it in a small batch of body butter since I received a second sample of it.
