A desire for love – during times of gallantry lovelorn bachelors sat to have their portrait painted with a red carnation, a Sweet William, symbolising their search for true love. A charming and infatuating Carnation fragrance – one of a kind. With exotic spicy elements and then the soft sweet bed of florals, Sweet William is romantic and charming representing the search for true love.

HOW IT WEARS
Sweet William has the slightly sharp note of Carnation at its heart – warm and well rounded with the addition of Ylang Ylang then a kick from the White Pepper. Sweet William settles into a beautiful warm scent, it has great longevity (generally between 6 to 8 hours).
LORE LOVES
We love how unique and exotic Sweet William is, its sweet but not too sweet. Carner Barcelona reinterpret the classic and traditional Carnation note beautifully with a really modern twist to it.

Mary –
Sweet William is a very special fragrance as it smells like carnations. That is very unusual (I think!) but a really interesting experience for those who love florals because it is so unusual. I’ve had people comment that they can small carnations when I wear it. It has a freshness and an innocence to it, and the story behind is charming too. A lovely summer fragrance.
