Not quite a scrub off, but close.
When I first tried this perfume, I had a headache (not from the scent). My first impression was not charitable, knowing that I was being unfair, I tried it again the next day. I wanted to scrub it off, not liking it. So, I let the perfume sit on the dresser for a week or so, thinking that perhaps I might have been wrong in thinking that it smelled nothing like carnations. No spiciness, no clove aroma.<br /> This evening I took a quick sniff of it just so I could remember what it smelled like. You know, I'm sure not too many people do this, but I am one of those fools who buys bags of old but still sealed Yankee Candle wax tarts at Goodwill. A fool because the tarts have been kicking around someone's house for 20 years. And a pile of 20 year wax tarts lose their own scent and become a somewhat unpleasant miasma of floral stink. This carnation perfume is that floral stink.<br /> So for me it is barely wearable. My stepdaughter will inherit this bottle of floral miasma X years from now. But hey, it might smell good on you, right? Don't let my score of 1 1/2 (not 2) stars dissuade you.
