Carnaval
Fragrance notes
Carnaval opens with a bright citrus blend built around lemon, myrtle, and bitter orange. The lemon carries a sharp edge that cuts through the softer orange, while the myrtle adds a green, slightly medicinal lift. This top layer feels clean and immediate, giving the fragrance a clear starting point that draws attention without overwhelming the senses.
The heart introduces ylang-ylang and marjoram. The ylang-ylang brings a yellow floral softness that rounds out the citrus, and the marjoram contributes an herbal, slightly camphorous touch. Together they move the composition from simple freshness into something more aromatic and layered, with the floral notes staying present without becoming heavy or romantic.
Musk and benzoin form the base. The musk adds a light skin-like texture, and the benzoin provides a sweet, resinous warmth that leans amber. This foundation keeps the fragrance feeling smooth and slightly powdery as the brighter opening notes recede, allowing the herbal and floral elements to settle into a calmer arrangement.
The overall character is citrus first, then herbal and aromatic, with a sweet musky amber finish that feels approachable. It suits someone who enjoys fresh openings paired with gentle florals and a soft resinous drydown, and it works well for daytime wear in warmer seasons when a clean, uplifting scent is welcome
