Dianthus caryophyllus (Carnation / Clavel)
Dianthus caryophyllus (/daÉªËˆĂ¦nθəs ËŒkɛəriəˈfɪlÉ™s/ dy-AN-thÉ™s KAIR-ee-É™-FIL-É™s),[1][2] commonly known as carnation or clove pink, is a species of Dianthus native to the Mediterranean region. Its exact natural range is uncertain due to extensive cultivation over the last 2,000 years. Carnations are prized for their vibrant colors, delicate fringed petals, and enchanting fragrance.
The scent of carnations is often described as spicy, clove-like, or reminiscent of a combination of cinnamon and nutmeg, hence the common name "clove pink". This delightful aroma has made carnations a popular choice for use in perfumes, Potpourri, and scented products.
