Real talk
The carnation is the tell. It doesn't behave, goes green, almost raw, before softening. That contradiction either pulls you in or leaves you cold. Worth the trip either way.The Green Carnation
The sharp opening stops people in their tracks. Nutmeg and thyme, before the warmth kicks in. That's the whole play, bold, herbal, then amber takes over. This isn't another sweet amber.Ambre 114
