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.
