Carnation
Nellike bringer en krydret og varm farvelægning til blomsterakkorder. Dens karakteristiske undertone er lys og levende, og parrer sig kærligt med toner af rose. Oplevelsen af at lugte en frisk nellike er dog usammenlignelig med den noget mindre fyldige oplevelse af nelliketonen. Uanset hvad er nelliken kernen i mange Ambrée-parfumer for sin bidende vitalitet.
Nelliken er en af parfumeriets mest traditionelle blomster - en tone, der minder om gamle haver, romantiske gester og krydrede, klassiske dufte. Den fungerer særligt smukt i orientalske og chypre-kompositioner, hvor dens varme, peberagtige karakter kan stå som en distinkt, men elegant detalje.

Historie
Heralded by some and held in careful suspicion by others, the carnation has forged a tumultuous yet enthralling path. In more recent history, the carnation has been linked to equality: Oscar Wilde was known to don the dainty flower upon his shirt as a subtle nod to his sexuality. Others associate the carnation with bravery, recounting the aristocrats who wore carnations on their way to the guillotine during the French Revolution or the soldiers of Grand Condé who thread the flower through the buttonholes of their uniforms. In Medieval art, the carnation symbolized betrothal—much akin to ancient Athenians who wove garlands of carnations for festivities to honor their gods and adorned the drinks of young fiancés in celebration of their engagement.
Produktion
Extracting an absolute from carnations is notoriously difficult. For this reason, the fragrance has always been replicated using a blend of both natural and synthetic raw materials.
