In Carnation Eau de Parfum - Laboratorio Olfattivo
For no particular reason, the Mexican name for carnations came to mind. They called them Clous d'Amour, Nails of Love.
— John Steinbeck, East of Eden, 1952.

Italians were the first to perceive how cloves shared the olfactory soul of the flower of the same name. It was thanks to Marco Polo who, returning from China with his holds loaded with spices, named the flower precisely because of this similarity. But the carnation hides another secret: a note of vanilla that dresses it in unexpected tenderness. This is not by chance, but a miracle of natural chemistry: eugenol, the main component of clove essence, can transform into vanillin through a delicate process of hemisynthesis. In this fragrance, flowers become the perfumer's atelier, where science meets feeling.
