    I got this as a decant on eBay, so I can't comment on the packaging. However, on me this smells like the flower, nothing more. I'm glad I sampled it first before splurging massively. It's a nice...

    I'm not a huge fan of tuberose, and usually find tuberose scents too overwhelming. Carnal Flower is a lighter, tropical tuberose. This is something I could tolerate wearing even if it's not my...

    Tuberose and other white flowers on a base of white musk. I am not getting much eucalyptus on the opening, only a green and lush tuberose. At this stage I always think I oversprayed. Then tuberose...

    Carnal Flower is an interesting and bold contrast of fragrance notes specifically the tuberose and eucalyptus. It's a hot and cold contrast--- the creamy tuberose is warm and the eucalyptus is icy...

    Well... I did it again. I have ordered another very expensive scent unsniffed. I can't believe I've done it again?! But, I vow that this is absolutely the last time I do it if it turns out bad. And...

    What a big disappointment for me! I am a big fan of tuberose and white floral fragrances. I had very high expectations for this due to all the raves it gets on the board. I expected this to be so...

    Unlike other tuberose-based scents, Carnal Flower is not cloying. I wore Michael Kors when it originally came out but over time, it grew ersatz and plasticy on me. Fracas has never worked; it...

    A big dissapointment for me, to be honest. Being a huge tuberose/gardenia/white floral fan (my daily "go to" perfume is Fracas), I had very high expectations for this. Unfortunately, it was not at...

    Unpleasantly strong tuberose. In other words, Fracas. I am definitely not a tuberose fan, so keep that in mind, but I was expecting a more interesting and complex fragrance from FM- which I guess...

    This smells like a tribute to Fracas. It’s nice to see some serious white florals stepping into the otherwise fruity-floral-gourmand hall (or is it actually a bakery?!) of new releases. It’s a bit...

    I am in love with Carnal Flower. I did not like it the first 12 times I wore it. But alas, one day, I fell in love. Strangers stop me and tell me I smell good. I do smell good and love this perfume...

    Dare I say it? A much more potent and greener rendition of L'Artisan La Chasse aux Pappilons. There, I said it! It is beautiful but I think I'll stay with La Chasse,it's pretty and it's softer.
