I'm a freelance floral designer (working mostly during wedding season) and I have to agree with you that carnations are fabulous flowers. It's too bad that they have gotten such a bad rep.

And when they're the scented variety I go nuts. Roger&Gallet used to make this amazing carnation soap - it was my grandma's favorite, and then mine. But now they've changed it (I can only guess in response to consumer carnation prejudice) and it is not nearly so good and spicy.

Can we call them Dianthus if carnations summon up the sad,wilting Petrol Station offerings? Thing is though I quite like the old fashioned sound of 'Carnation' - and the smell of the Pinks I grow, surely the closest of cousins, is to die for, spicey as you say, clove-ish and somehow nostalgic.
