    If you don't love carnation/clove as a single note, or think it is too reminiscent of dentistry, don't bother. Floris Malmaison, discontinued in 2000, and even it's successor, Encore, are too hard...

    This was gifted to me on my first trip to England. My mom-in-law loves Floris and it was a must see shop whilst there. I have to say I do understand the draw to this parfumer. All the scents were...

    I love the unisexuality of this very spicy and crisp carnation floral. On me it is first a burst of clove and spice and then dries down to a spicy, crisp carnation - very much a non-sugary scent...

    I'm just starting to trust my nose so this is one of my first fragrance reviews. I received this as a small sample size as a swap extra, so I have NOT tried the spray version. I really enjoy...

    Spicy and warm. Deliciously rich and true. If this were a real carnation, it would be deep red -- as opposed to Bellodgia, which would be hot carmine pink, or Oeillet Sauvage, which would be...

    I love Carnation scents in general and Malmaison by Floris now joins a short list of contenders for my favorite carnation scent including Bellodgia, CdG Red Carnation, and Poivre (also a Caron)......

    Malmaison is what I imagine an ancillary character in a Sarah Waters novel wearing. It's sweet and powdery and old-fashioned/Victorian. But in a butch kind of way. I like it. I wear it. But I...

    I got a sample of this because of the associations with Oscar Wilde and the Savoy hotel. Oh, how I do love London. However, I do not love this scent. I don't really dislike it, either, but to my...

    SMN Garofano is, to my nose, one of the most horrible fragrances under the sun, so I approached Malmaison with some trepidation. There was no need to worry - this spicy carnation scent is...

    This is probably my very favorite scent in the world, and that's saying something for a makeup/fragrance/skin care junkie like myself. I first came across this brand, Floris, during a trip to...

    I should like Malmaison, regarding the notes, but although it was wearable, it's a 'no' for me. It reminded me of fragranced candles, scented 'Christmas spice' or 'sugar & spice'. I love those...

    Oh, the deliciousness of this fragrance! This smells like a fresh from the garden, (not the florist), carnation. My grandmother used to grow pink carnations in a bed behind her house, and the scent...

    I got a decant of this. Carnations have become more interesting to my nose over the past few months. I think it started with CDG's Carnation. Well, first of all I won't be purchasing this any time...

    Lovely spicy carnation fragrance with a pleasant musk drydown. Like all of the Floris creations I've tried, this is a lovely fragrance. For carnation scents, however, I much prefer CdG Carnation,...

    I LOVE the carnation drydown of this scent, but sadly the cinnamon is too much for me, it turns into a hot cinnamon which is not a scent for me. There are enough perfumes out there that it's not...
