Is anyone familiar with this perfume? I am looking for an FO that comes close. Based on the fragrance notes described on the Fragrantica website, it’s a fairly complex blend:

https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Myrurgia/Maja-6233.html

“Maja by Myrurgia is an Oriental Spicy fragrance for women… Top notes are Geranium, Citruses, Orange Blossom and Tobacco; middle notes are Carnation, Cloves, Rose, Nutmeg, Lavender, Leather and Jasmine; base notes are Patchouli, Oakmoss, Amber, Cypress, Benzoin and Tonka Bean.”

I could try blending this myself from FOs and EOs, but for the carnation. Is there a good carnation FO? The absolutes I can find are expensive and I don’t know if they would hold up in cp soap. The description from the Eden Botanical website for carnation absolute: Delightful and extremely rich, sweet honey-like, bright spicy (clove-like), deep floral aroma with a faint minty-herbaceous undertone in the long drydown; extremely tenacious.”
 
I haven’t tried it, but Little Bee Scents has a carnations, and Marina of Creamy Obsession did the CP fragrance tests so good performance notes. It says some acceleration, but I would expect that. You might also think about a heather FO. It doesn’t have the peppery notes of carnation, but does have that fresh ‘flower shop’ smell. Also naughty IIRC. I think I tried Fragrance Buddy for that one.
 
Thank you both for the suggestions. It looks like the Little Bee Carnation FO will be helpful since it has the carnation note and only the violet isn’t in the list above.

Little Bee Carnation
Top Notes: Rose, Carnation
Middle Notes: Sweet Dark Honey, Violet, Jasmine
Bottom Notes: Slight Clove, Black Pepper
 
That's my favourite perfume ever, will have to see if I still have any left, use to wear it all the time.
