Default Do carnations lose their scent?

I love carnations (dianthus). The first year that I plant, they smell
gorgeous; but I've noticed that the scent seems to disappear with age, even
though the blooms are just as prolific -- anyone else notice this, with
carnations or other highly scented blooms, or is it just too much shade?
