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 - Lens EDP

A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Byredo Rose of No Man's Land (2015) - pink pepper, turkish rose and white amber translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

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.
