At a glance
A carnation soliflore from Houbigant, opening on bergamot and clove before the carnation heart, closing on musk and woods, following the same clove-carnation pairing common to soliflores built on this naturally spicy flower. It sits alongside the house's many other single-note releases from 1920, including La Giroflee and Royal Cyclamen, reflecting Houbigant's steady output of simple florals during this period.
