Launched in 2024 by Thameen, The Black Carnation is a Floral fragrance for both women and men. Perfumer Alexandra Carlin has crafted this scent with a rich interplay of pistachio, mandarin orange, and carnation at the top, leading to a heart of ylang-ylang and jasmine. The base notes of vanilla, suede, and sandalwood create an enveloping warmth that feels both intimate and sophisticated.
The Black Carnation is not just a fragrance; it's a subtle exploration of contrasts — the freshness of citrus meets the richness of warm spices, while powdery florals blend seamlessly with woody undertones. This duality makes it a versatile choice for any occasion.

Application Tips
One or two sprays is sufficient — the top notes of pistachio and mandarin orange are bright but fleeting. The fragrance's heart and base notes develop gradually over time, so it’s best applied before an event to allow its full depth to emerge.

The story behind the bottle.
The quiet elegance of a softly lit study where warm spices and soft florals create an enveloping cocoon, blending the crispness of fresh mandarin with the richness of suede and sandalwood.
