Also known as Alaskan Cypress, Nootka offers an irresistibly punchy essential oil to the nose. From the outset, the fragrance fills the air with a very identifiable woody and green signature, which one would not be wrong to associate with cedar, although more aromatic and fruity. Its aniseed and resinous accents and many exotic facets make it particularly recognisable.
It lasts with great elegance, as its trail becomes more floral and powdery, ensuring long lasting wear on any surface. Its momentum gradually exhausted, it ends its run on a soft, cottony impression, a powdery note of a delicacy that leaves one speechless.
Heart, Base
In its initial freshness, Nootka essence can be accompanied by zesty notes such as Bergamot or Lemongrass. Aromatic facets also suit it well: try our Cypress or Lavender. It is also very friendly with white flowers such as Jasmine, which embrace it without driving it… Finally, other woods can join it, such as Sandalwood, rich in milky accents.

A flower that has been sought after in perfumery for centuries, the carnation alcolohate expresses its subtle fragrance here with great fidelity. The first moments are subjugating, with a complex and generous bouquet, while the characteristic spicy note of Clove gradually imposes itself. A full floral fragrance with a hypnotic powdery heart.
Heart
As a floral and spicy note, Carnation alcoholate combines wonderfully with woody and ambery, usually oriental, backgrounds such as Patchouli, Sandalwood or Vanilla.
However, it can also be surrounded by green, honeyed or fruity facets to gain vitality at the start of its evaporation and in the heart space. Thus, to associate it with Jasmine and/or Rose is very judicious.
Carnation is a famous note in perfumery but actually quite rare because it is very often reconstituted (from a floral and wallflower blend). It has been featured in classics such as Nina Ricci’s Air du Temps in 1951 as well as in equally cult modern perfumes (Flower by Kenzo). It is also found in niche compositions such as Luttens with Vitriol d’Oeillet.
“L’Air du Temps” – Nina Ricci
“Flower” – Kenzo
“Vitriol d’Oeillet” – Luttens
From the first breaths, the warmth of the spicy notes so characteristic of the carnation alcoholate come to tickle our nostrils. In particular its clove note that pierces us, yet softly. At the emotional level, it acts in the same direction, which is explained by the presence of phenols. It would thus be good to call it “soft attack commando”. Because the spirit of the carnation, finally, is the benevolent friend who motivates us by raising his voice slightly and transmits strength, energy and courage.
