I spent too long looking for something that was like Carnal Flower because I didn’t want to pay Carnal Flower prices. I even stopped myself from enjoying this perfume that I love, just to realize that there will never be anything as good, so I’m just letting myself enjoy what I love today.
I just had to learn my lesson the hard way, and no, I don’t want to know any other tuberoses, because this one will always be my favourite.
Carnal flower is a lightly mentholated tuberose, slightly lactonic but not too coconutty, and feels cool and verdant. It’s perfection on a warm day but if you love it and want to feel like you’re walking through a lush cool misty tuberose garden, there’s never a wrong time to wear it.
