Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Carmina EDP
Carmina is a polarising beast. For every lover of its dark, jammy rose and cherry, there’s a hater smelling cough syrup and ambroxan. You'll either get Morticia Addams or an allergic reaction, apparently.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Libra EDT
This cherry-violet stunner has truly divided the room. Some are convinced it's an elevated, even superior, offering, while others dismiss it as synthetic or childish. However, the champions of Libra praise its strong projection and distinct character.

Season and Occasion Fit

Carmina

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its strong, often long-lasting sillage makes it too much for an office, as some find it headache-inducing. However, its 'dark feminine' and 'seductive' qualities make it perfect for date nights and formal evening wear, while being too sophisticated for casual daily use.

Libra

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong projection and rich cherry-amber profile make it a bit much for the office but ideal for dates and evening events. While some find it casual, its potent character leans more towards occasions where you want to make a statement.
