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 - Creed Carmina EDP
A dynamic blend of fresh and warm notes, Creed Carmina offers versatility and niche sophistication for various occasions.
