Like you, the opening of this fragrance knocked my socks off. I thought, "This might be my fall 2023 signature." But I loved it a tiny bit less with the dry down. I went through two samples before I could commit -- and even then I got the small bottle to make sure I would stay with it. The price is outrageous, really. I have spent $300+ on a fragrance before but not for only 30ml. You are so right about the beautiful, weighty cap. It makes me irrationally happy every time I remove it to spray. I received a compliment from a stranger the first time I wore Carmina in public.
I bought Creed Carmina. I think it’s unusual & I only wear it in the evening when it’s cool. Over 20 years ago my signature fragrance was Creed Indiana Milleseme (before Aventus was released and everyone started freaking out about Creed). It’s been reformulated & isn’t the same 🥲 it used to only be $100.
Ok I don’t love the price ….. lol but besides that … I got a sample and omg ❤ it’s beautiful My teens love creed Aventus but it’s too crisp to fresh ….I love delina atomic rise ylang in gold , and so on - So Carnina is gorgeous
This to me smells like cherry Tylenol for kids 😩. I can’t stand it, but I see so many people loving on it. Anyone else get that medicinal cherry smell?
Yes, very very strong rose and medicinal candied fake sweet cherry. I thought for sure I would love it and am so glad a got a sample first. I had to work to scrub it off.
I get the medicinal note only at the very beginning and it disappears really quickly. then I get a smokey note afterwards. This is the only Creed I like.
Thank you for your review❤ I think Carmina smells absolutely amazing and really looking forward to buying it. Roseperfumes can be challenging for me but this one is perfect🩷

I own it and love it. You got it down. Terribly pricey but worth hit.
Hi Monika. Can you please do a review of Van Cleef perfumes? They are amazing! Do you have any in your collection ?
Just got a bottle. After I first smelled it I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Gorgeous ❤
I smelt this a couple of weeks ago in Dillard’s. I love it.
I’m not a huge fan of Creed women’s fragrances but I’m intrigued by this one. Worth sampling!
im not a fan of creed but i had to have carmina
I returned my carmina because I wasn’t a fan of it on me 😬

This is a darker version of Delina exclusive to me, that’s what I thought the first time I smelled it
I bought it yesterday and I really love it!

It reminds me of Delina, very intense, lingering fragrance...... not a huge fan it's very loud and gave me a headache. Saffron definitely over powers.

My teens love creed Aventus but it’s too crisp to fresh ….I love delina atomic rise ylang in gold , and so on -
So Carnina is gorgeous
This one smells 90% like Guerlain’s Rose Cherie. A good one though😊
Oh really i deff need to compare I'm sure it's cheaper creed is just too much lol
Thx for the comparison, i don't like rose cherie at all it is very mature.
Carmina reminds me of Initio’s Atomic Rose!
But more feminine😊

Anyone else get that medicinal cherry smell?
Yes.
Yes, very very strong rose and medicinal candied fake sweet cherry. I thought for sure I would love it and am so glad a got a sample first. I had to work to scrub it off.
Yes, I put the bottle down so fast after spraying that I almost broke it. I will give it another shot but that was my initial reaction.
I get the medicinal note only at the very beginning and it disappears really quickly. then I get a smokey note afterwards. This is the only Creed I like.
Tested it not a fan
❤❤❤❤❤
Delina ist viel schöner,carmina ähnelt cafe rose von tom ford ,geht in eine Richtung.
Carmina hält nicht mal ne Stunde...
Thank you for your review❤ I think Carmina smells absolutely amazing and really looking forward to buying it. Roseperfumes can be challenging for me but this one is perfect🩷
