Flora Carnivora

A very pretty realistic flower tuberose. Opens soft and youthful, lily-like. Clean and reminds me of something marketed toward rich classy young women. Dries down to a tuberose that feels closer to Lys 41 or Do Son but less aquatic and more powdery. Summery solar tuberose. Very nice. I prefer Carnal Flower or Lys 41 but this is a very good alternative, and more feminine than Carnal Flower. I don’t understand the “tuberose being mature” comments for many tuberose scents like this. I must’ve never grown up around adults wearing tuberose scents. To me, this smells like a hot rich classy woman who lives a dream life of luxury and beauty, she can be 18 or 40, it makes no difference, you wish you could be her. Spending $50 on tea and cookies to snack on next to a rose garden. Wearing a Chloe sun dress that costs more than most people spend on rent. Greek vacations and expensive sunglasses. Probably not an ideal scent for 21 year olds covered in glitter chugging vodka Red Bulls at a frat party, so in that sense, yeah a bit more mature. This isn’t nearly as loud as some reviews say. A couple of sprays and it’s very much a skin scent on me, 5-6 inches is the most it projects. Very soft and delicate. Like having a small vase of flowers across the room. I’d compare the performance and silage to Lys 41 or Do Son. I initially had this mini spray in a pile of freebies I received as gifts with purchase to give away/resell but I will be keeping this one and ordering a bottle. Fantastic scent and my husband, who worked 10 years in a fine dining restaurant selling $1000+ bottles of wine to billionaires, loves it and says it’s classy and expensive.

I sprayed a bunch of perfumes at Sephora and accidentally sprayed my wrist with this one. That night I couldn’t stop smelling my arm. Right when I first smelled this, I thought how this is how Poison Ivy (from DC Comics) would smell. Smells like you have just walked outside into your garden after heavy rain. The floral notes are so realistic, like I’m nose deep in a beautiful bouquet of fresh cut flowers. I saw a previous review saying they detected notes of honeysuckle and I second this. Reminds me of when I was a child running around with honeysuckle in my mouth. I’ve also been seeing a lot of comments saying this smells like laundry detergent... I have to say when I wore this to work, a customer said “it smells like fresh clean laundry in here!” so I guess this seems to be a common belief. That being said, florals are quite common in cleaning supplies so I can understand the correlation. To me, Flora Carnivora is an addicting scent that is both sweet and mysterious. I spray this on before I sleep and pretend I’m sleeping in a bed of flowers :)

I got the sample set of all the fragrances from Henry Rose and this was the one that stood out to me the most. Even my partner was impressed by this one as well as Torn. I love a white floral fragrance and this one does not fall short. Beautiful realistic white floral but what’s unique about this one is that the tuberose in this has an almost candy grape like quality that I surprisingly like and feels familiar. Not cloying or one of those fragrances I feel like the fragrance is wearing me so I’m happy about that. Honestly the whole line is like that, they are all very wearable and versatile. I’m also happy with the longevity of this one... some in the line I loved but lasted a short time. This one lasts much longer on my skin than some others like Smyth (which lasted like 30 minutes then barely there). Overall love the whole line but this was the main one I felt was worth the investment of a full size. If you love white floral fragrances I have no doubt you’ll love this one.

Love this one but it's definitely not for everyone. This honestly reaalllyyy reminds me of PMB baby cologne which is super specific. I can understand the laundry comments but laundry detergent tends to be floral scented so that makes sense. I really love how complex it is, I wear it when I want to feel niche and mysterious. It's great for layering, which I did with the dossier Libre dupe and that got me a lot of compliments! I would say it lasts a while on clothes and a standard on skin but nothing crazy. It also doesn't project without spraying a good amount which I don't want to do since it is a small bottle and pretty pricey. Over all I really like it though. A good, clean, effortless vibe, intimate perf!

I am shocked by how much I like Fora Carnivora. I typically do not like white floral, or actually florals at all, but this is one scent that has become my gateway to enjoying them. I absolutely love the green dirtiness of these floral. They aren’t crazy sweet. There is a spiciest to them that make them extremely wearable to me. Actually this and queens and monsters have been my favorites from this house and I own jakes house, torn, fog, char, windows down, sheep clothing. I would consider a full bottle of this, I currently own travels of them.
