Flora Carnivora is a modern floral fragrance with bite. Soft jasmine and orange blossom meet creamy tuberose and earthy vetiver. It's romatic — but far from delicate. Edgy, genderless, and impossible to ignore. It features top notes of Tunisian orange flower water absolute and neroli blanc; middle notes of jasmine absolute Sambac and tuberose accord; and base notes of Texas cedarwood, Haitian vetiver oil, opulent musks and amber. Flora Carnivora is an eau de parfum, edp.
HENRY ROSE FLORA CARNIVORA REVIEWS
Fragrantica: "Didn't understand this one until I wore it while walking around West Village. It's Manhattan in a scent. Beautiful, bright, dirty, unique."
Fragrantica: "Alt-rock twist on a classic choir-girl white floral formula. I'm a white floral lover and Flora Carnivora is unique in my collection for it's arid, earthy, slightly balsamic, and herbal treatment of a classic white floral combo. Previous reviews have mentioned detergent, fresh herbs, metal, corn tortillas, cilanto, Aussie hairspray..... all these notes are facets of one or other of the components. Vetiver can lean pretty mossy (herby or green), neroli can have soapy undertones as well as bitter citrus (cilantro, detergent, metal). Tuberose can be pretty fruity (shampoo/hairspray). The "corn tortilla" scent probably comes from the Texas cedar, which can come off like pencil shavings. The particular aspects of each of the components HR has chosen to elevate, when combined, result in a mysterious mix that's cozy and cold-shouldered all at once. Kind of a beautiful mess. Wednesday Addams in white. I love it.....and hate that it doesn't last longer."
Fragrantica: "This is such a beautiful scent. It starts off pretty green and floral (I mostly smell the jasmine) and turns more smooth as time goes on. It’s definitely a clean girl scent. I just wish it lasted longer and was a little bit stronger. After about four hours, all I smell is a very, VERY faint whiff of amber when I place my arm right up to my nose. I used to wonder if I usually become nose blind to Henry Rose perfumes, but I think it’s really just the scents’ poor longevity."
Fragrantica: "Henry Rose perfumes, more than any other house I've purchased from, seem to respond very very strongly and inconsistently to the wearer's skin chemistry. For me, this perfume smells absolutely lovely. Pure and hyper realistic. It smells exactly like a walk through the streets of Vietnam in the cool of the evening. The night is soft and humid, and the blossoms are releasing their fragrances in the night air. No laundry, no tortillas, no metals. I would highly recommend always buying HR testers before ever buying full sized bottles because of the inconsistency. The scents that work with my skin are *amazing* and the ones that don't are so bad they need to be scrubbed off."
Fragrantica: "This might be one of my favorites from the house of Henry Rose. A beautiful white floral medley mixed with some woody notes. Very, very nice fragrance."
Fragrantica: "I surprisingly enjoy this fragrance from the line and I am not a person who prefers white floral notes. It is sweet and fresh and thankfully reminiscent of a warm spring/summer breeze outside rather than “old lady” stuffy florals. Definitely neroli-dominant at first and strong, two sprays was enough for me, but it fades fairly quickly and turns more tuberosevetiver/cedar. I got about 3-4 hours before I couldn’t detect it anymore. I like tuberose so it works for me but I can see it being nauseatingly sweet for others."
