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 - Legacy Cleopatra EDP
If you're after a sophisticated, powdery rose that steers clear of the 'sweet and sticky' crowd, Cleopatra is for you. It's a 'your-skin-but-better' vibe, elegant and refined, though some might find it a touch too demure.

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.

Legacy Cleopatra

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its moderate sillage and elegant, refined profile make it suitable for formal events and dates, where it will be noticed without overpowering. Due to its soft and intimate projection, it's also a good choice for office wear, though perhaps a bit too opulent for everyday casual use.
