What it actually smells like

Carmina starts with a dark, juicy black cherry note warmed by saffron and a touch of pink pepper. Rose becomes more prominent through the heart, with peony adding floral lift while violet and cashmere wood give the fragrance a softer, more textured warmth. Amber deepens the dry down alongside frankincense and myrrh, with musk smoothing the resinous base into a rich, lingering finish.

Who this is for

Ideal if you enjoy rich floral fragrances with dark fruit and warm resinous depth. Carmina suits those drawn to saturated rose, black cherry and amber when you want something with a stronger, more dramatic character for the evening.
