Carmina Eau de Parfum CREED

When I first tried Carmina, I kept smelling it up close on my skin and thought it was too powdery rose and mature for me. Then continued to test a bunch of different frags on my skin and didn't really give it a chance. The next day I gave it a full-wear and fell in love!!

The magic of Carmina is in the air - the sillage of black cherry, rose, violet and touch of saffron creates this airy dance that's so alluring. I know some Creed lovers dont like the new direction for the womens frags, but this is my favourite one. To me, it's the perfect balance between modern dnas (cherry/saffron) and classic dnas (powdery rose/violet), with a warm spicy base. Lasts 10+ hours on me. I left the house and returned an hour later to the most beautiful scent, simply magical and leaves an impression, for sure

I had the pleasure of receiving a sample from my Neiman Marcus Rep a few days ago (it was a secret) I had and gotten rid of many of my Creed fragrances because the longevity just wasn’t enough for me. This fragrance is very nice. It is fruity. floral and well blended. The soft and slightly woodsy dry down is my favorite part. I know many will believe I haven’t tested it because it is so new but, I have. My Neiman rep has reserved a bottle for pre order for me. I also, hope this will re invigorate the Creed Brand.

I LOVE THIS. I don't see what the problem is. I didn't spend $300. I bought a 10 ml travel size for $90. This is the kind of rose fragrance I enjoy this time of year. I smell rose, saffron and cherries with some depth in the background... it reminds of me of Hibiscus Mahajah slightly, just a little bit. I suggest maybe you should take a shower or a bath and then apply fragrance to clean skin. I also think some of you need to detox or use a good probiotic to clean out the BS. The level of over criticism of perfume on this site is mind blowing annoying.

I just tried this one and omg 😳 on my wishlist. It doesn’t smell anything like lost cherry just in case people start comparing them.

Sofia Carmina Coppola, that’s who I think about when I wear this. Such an iconic woman. This perfume totally defines her. I get mysterious but sweet vibes from this perfume. Burnt cherry & BABY lotion. But in a very sensual way. Like those women who are constantly reapplying lotion on their hands, a mini Johnson’s PINK bottle baby lotion. She looks like the type. Super casual, usually in jeans and ballet flats, very classy. It’s a chilled glass of SOFIA Brut Rosé with lavender macarons & a small vase of fresh peony’s and RED roses, next to an ashtray with a put out cigarette. It settles to baby lotion, Sofia’s Brut Rosé and milky cashmere that I absolutely LOVE. Definitely not for the faint of heart. One spray is more than enough for me, lasts all day. Performs spectacular in cold weather. It's sexy, bold yet sweet. I wear this on date nights layered with CARAMEL.. Mind blowing. I know I always say this but TRUST ME. I'm sure she would love it too.
