The carnation scent is a beautiful, unique floral that blends well with a number of other fragrances. It is warm and a bit spicy, reminescent of cloves at times. We have scoured our notes and have picked these companies with the best carnation scented candles on the market today.

Harlem Candle Co.

Dream

“Dream” opens with Provencal lavender, pimento berry, and bergamot. A lush, emotional heart of jasmine and Iris is spiked with zesty wild ginger and crushed pine needles, while a seductive field of liquid amber, patchouli, and sandalwood adds warmth to balance this intoxicating blend.

Harlem Candle Company’s Dream candle is a floral mix along with ginger an patchouli to make an intoxicating blend. The carnation notes in this fragrance are not forward facing, so this is a beautiful scent to try if you are just getting your carnation feet wet.

Yankee Candle

Pink Carnation

If you are looking for a carnation forward scent, Pink Carnation from Yankee Candle is a beautiful choice. It is fragrant without being too in-your-face, and it captures the complexities of a fresh bouquet of carnations perfectly. This one is no longer on the website, but it is easy to find.
