I found the ESSENCE of dianthus (so true!) in Santa Maria Novellas Garofano (carnation)..... if you like that sort of thing. :) If you want to "wear" your dianthuses check this one out. Floris's Malmaison is also pretty good and so is L'artisans oillet sauvage. But the Santa Maria Novella is the best. :) Gorgeous!!!! It's average price for a good perfume but you can find decants (smaller/ less expensive sizes) on ebay etc. Anyone else have a great "true" flower smelling rec.? Anyone have a great "true" lily of the valley perfume rec.? Thanks. :)

Someone posted a message before about a great source of Gardenia oil. Actaully I ordered a small bottle of their MONOI TIARE TAHITI oil and one bottle of the perfume. I will let you know when I receive them how true they smell.

Here is a link that might be useful: Place for Gardenia oil.

Hi flowersandthings:
I think we've chatted here a long time ago and I think we even talked about trading sniffies or something like that but somehow it never came true. I have several True flower blend oils, mostly made by myself sniffing the flower side by side that may trade sniffies for a sniffy of your carnation or any other you've found. I'm having a hard time finding a true carnation scent.
I have dead on dupes of:
Orange Blossom
Tiare and Gardenia thunbergia (similar scent)
A wonderful old rose
White Ginger
Recently did a gorgeous Gardenia Jasminoides and a Plumeria
working on a Tuberose.

It can even be a paper strip or cotton ball dipped with some fragrance. I just want to have a good idea of a true Dianthus.

The package came today in the mail. I ordered the Tiare Tahiti Gardenia Eau De Toilette spray as well as the Monoi Tiare oil. Floating inside the oil bottle is what looks like a sprig of some type of flower. In the package they included two small bars of Tiki Tiare soap, very nice touch by the way...

About the fragrance, well let's say nothing will stand up to fresh gardenia scent and if you think what you are purchasing will smell like it, you will be very disappointed. I layered the oil along with a few spurts of the spray onto my arm and it smells a hint of coconut with a very sweet tropical floral smell.

Not sure if hubby will like it and I plan on getting feedback from a few friends at work on what their opinions are.

I would most definately buy from Tahiti-Iti.com again, great service. I will be browsing their other scents too.
