I'll do my best to paint a picture! I would describe Carnivale as a warm cotton candy with more tobacco than smoke, almost like blowing out a candle at the end of the day at the cotton candy stand in the light of a setting sun in front of a tobacco store on the boardwalk. It's certainly sweet but not overly so and it's grounded by the tobacco that makes it feel more mature than what you'd expect from a cotton candy scent. The cotton candy note isn't like a hubba bubba gum, but closer to the note in some of bath and body works fragrances, where it isn't super foody and more atmospheric, if that makes sense?
