Modelled profile
A vast, living tuberose kept fresh by a green stem and lifted by coconut and musk. It reads at once creamy and dewy, the white flower rendered radiant.

The Purist
The Crisp Presence
Crisp and impossible to miss.
The choice was always going to be precise. Clean lines and nothing left to chance. You knew exactly what you were doing.

Carnal Flower carries some body without feeling heavy. That is 42nd percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.
Carnal Flower carries sweetness without letting it define the scent.
Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin. Where wear reports are thin, those scores rest near the middle by design, so a mid-range reading here is a statement about the evidence as much as about the scent. Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
