Absolute madness! A perfume with my name? I never imagined that… Wow, it’s from Creed and will cost a fortune… Forget about trying it; blind buying is the only option. What a laugh. By the way, I don’t think they intended it to be a proper name… the word comes from Latin, it’s the plural of “carmen” (verse, song, poem), so the correct way to read it is “cármina”. That’s why we have the “Carmen Burana,” anonymous or folk songs, as far as I know… Same thing in Spanish, we read it as a grave word, “carmína”… 🤷🏻♀️
It’s delicious, featuring emerging red fruits, rich like perfumed raisins. It has the rose, peony, and pepper, but a very faint violet. It’s very feminine, fruity, and floral. On my skin, it lasts quite a while—about 4 hours close to the skin and another 2 hours projecting. It’s worthy of an elegant and distinguished woman, with class. It’s an aroma like few others in Creed: IT PROJECTS A LOT. You can tell the quality. Scent 8, Projection 8, Longevity 7, Originality 7.
Very potent cherry and rose. It has the vibe of Hermès Galop. Nocturnal and mysterious. Interesting.
Goodnight autumn or winter with this perfume. Fortunately, it doesn’t remind me of Lost Cherry! This one is presentable, more in the Black Orchid style. It’s sweet, with cherry and rose dominating, but the incense, pepper, and wood attack it, making it intense and deep. It’s a good proposal, though the sillage leaves something to be desired, and Creed isn’t for every wallet. Scent 9/10, Projection 8/10, Longevity 7/10.
Oh my god… Today I received a decant of this masterpiece, and it’s straight to my wishlist. This one is landing this Christmas. It’s a hyper-realistic bouquet of dark red roses. Realistic but genuinely real. So well-made. A nasal orgasm. It doesn’t resemble Delina or the cherry perfumes I hate at all. Edit: For those who love rose but crave a chocolatey base: Aurum by Xerjoff ❤️.
What a marvel! I can’t believe how strange and addictive this aroma is at the same time. I don’t know what it smells like; it’s the first time this has happened to me, I have no idea, but I love it. I think it smells like candies with a slightly acidic touch. It’s exquisite, long-lasting, and has an incredible trail. Edit: I spilled some perfume on a coat, and now my whole closet smells like Carmina. What a wonderful thing!
Bittersweet and smoky cherry. The longevity isn’t as exciting as the scent itself, but I’ll accept that weakness for the luxury of the bottle and the quality.
One of my favorite perfumes: intense, dark, and mature cherry. The longevity is wonderful and the projection is huge. I feel like a vampire with this fragrance; honestly, it’s worth the price. 5/5 <3
One of my favorite perfumes, an intense, dark, and ripe cherry scent. The lasting power is wonderful and it projects a lot. I feel like a vampire wearing this fragrance; honestly, it’s worth the price. 5/5 <3
I’m a die-hard rose hater; it makes me dizzy and ruins my day, just like with Delina. With this perfume, even though the sharp rose note comes through, it didn’t give me any discomfort. It’s such a weird scent that I have my nose glued to my arm almost like a tic. It smells like mature rose mixed with tart raspberries, as if I’d sprinkled a packet of raspberry drink powder over it. It’s incredibly potent: I put it on after my evening shower, and when I woke up this morning, it still smelled great, so I’m sure it lasts well over the 10 hours I’ve noticed.
Cherry and rose with saffron and that classic oriental vibe; designed for mature women and cold weather. Not my style.
I avoid cherry scents because they always smell terrible on my skin, but this launch has me hooked. The marketing and bottle are top-notch, but the cherry note used to be a dealbreaker. Testing perfumes here is tough—there’s only one Creed store, and not all of them have testers. After months of insisting, I finally got to try it today! It’s been over 5 hours, and it still smells amazing on my skin, so the longevity is brutal. At first, I detected rose, pepper, and amber; then the cherry came through—not loud or artificial, but dark, mature, and slightly sweet. It reminds me of aged cherry candy, and it’s so addictive that I can’t stop smelling my arm after just one spray. Can’t wait for the bottle. If you’re on TikTok, check out my reviews @estefybonham.
I’m one of those who runs away when I see the cherry note because it always smells horrendous on my skin. This launch brought me a huge contradiction because the fragrance’s marketing, the beauty of the bottle, and the good reviews made me want it in my collection, but the cherry note held me back with every impulse to buy blind. Where I live, it’s not easy to try perfumes like this; there’s only one Creed chain, and not all branches have testers. I’ve been insisting for months to find the blessed tester, and today IT FINALLY HAPPENED! I passed by the perfumery more than 5 hours ago and I can still smell Carmina on my skin (which isn’t known for being friendly since not all perfumes last on me), so I can attest to its great performance. As for the scent, when I first smelled it, I detected roses, pepper, and amber. The cherry note developed later and it’s not a shrill, artificial cherry (which I detest)… it’s a dark, ripe, sweet cherry. There’s something about this perfume that reminds me of something I’ve smelled before, but I still can’t figure out what. It’s like an aged cherry caramel. It also has something addictive about it; I can’t stop smelling my forearm where I sprayed just ONE SPRAY of this beauty. I can’t wait to have the bottle to enjoy it in all its splendor.

It’s a true niche-category rose. You’ll find magic and complexity. It’s not the typical rose that goes alone, sometimes accompanied by an intense patchouli and other times by a sharp musk. Here there is a ripe fruity rose with amber, spicy, and very warm characteristics. I don’t appreciate the violet note, and on my skin the saffron is very timid. The designer fragrance adds that woody and woodsy part, and the myrrh gives a fabulous spicy touch. If I had let myself be guided by the Fragrantica reviews in English, I wouldn’t have bought it, but since I know it’s a nest of trolls, I decided to trust my instinct, and thank God it was a success. Longevity and projection are impeccable. As a complex fruity rose, I recommend it. It has the air of Arcana Rosa by l’Artisan Parfumeur, but with dark cherry.
A true niche category rose. You’ll find magic and complexity here. It’s not the typical rose that wanders alone; sometimes accompanied by an intense patchouli, other times by a sharp musk. Here we have the phenomenon of a ripe, fruity rose with amber, spicy, and very warm characteristics. I don’t appreciate the violet note, and the saffron is very timid on my skin, almost imperceptible. The frankincense adds a slightly woody, woodsy touch, and the myrrh gives a fabulous aromatic spicy vibe. If I had let myself be swayed by the English Fragrantica reviews, I never would have bought it, but since I know this has turned into a troll nest, I decided to jump in based on my own instinct after seeing the notes. Thanks God, my hunch was right, a tremendous feat. Lasting power and projection are impeccable: 5 stars. As a complex fruity rose, I recommend it. It has the air of l’Artisan Parfumeur’s Arcana Rosa, but with dark cherry.
Carmina was love at second sight. It seems curious to me that several comments below think the same about the cherry note: running away from it because it’s usually too cloying and seems like you’re wearing Vick’s VapoRub (clear examples are Tom Ford), and in Carmina, it’s the already ripe, honeyed cherry that gives that touch to the perfume where the rose, a rose I imagine red, velvety, fragrant but not withered, gives that mix that Carmina gifts us. My relationship with Creed has been love/hate because, at least in men’s and unisex perfumes, they’ve fallen short after so many reviews, but with Carmina -and a few days ago with Wind Flowers- they’ve risen because they are beautiful. And yes, it was love at second use because the first time I tried it, on a very hot day, it seemed just oppressive, but the second time, I loved it. It’s such a sensual perfume that it begs to be worn with a beautiful dress on a romantic night, ufff. The lasting power is excellent, the bottle is one of my favorites from Creed for its color. A perfume that shows us that cherry doesn’t always have to be sweet to the point of disgust or synthetic, and that rose doesn’t have to be either withered or very fresh; that middle ground between both notes, which stand out to me more -besides the ambroxan and saffron I perceive weakly- make Carmina a perfume in all its extent.

It proves that cherry doesn’t always have to be sweet to the point of nausea or synthetic, and that rose doesn’t have to be wilted or too fresh; that middle ground between both notes, which stand out to me more, make Carmina a perfume in its entirety.
Smoky rose and late-night cherries, a perfume with vampire vibes, truly spectacular. It lasts over 10 hours with a super powerful sillage for the first 6 hours; then it fades a bit, but I emphasize the diminutive. I bought a decant because I have a bottle of a ‘dupe’ and wanted to try it, but I don’t think I’ll buy the Carmina bottle because in my country it costs almost $1,000. Excluding the price, it’s a 10/10.
What a perfume! What a way to bewitch the surroundings! It’s totally addictive and full of personality. It’s floral, musky, and very sensual. It’s a unique experience to wear it and receive its bursts every few minutes that you can’t stop smelling. And the bottle… that intense, mysterious pink, like it came out of an Andersen fairy tale. It has that magical, intoxicating halo that will enchant those who live with one foot in reality and the other in fantasy. A dream made into perfume.
What a perfume! What a way to bewitch the surroundings! It’s totally addictive, with a lot of personality. Floral, musky, and very sensual, in my opinion. It’s a unique experience to wear it and receive its bursts every few minutes that you can’t (or don’t want to) stop smelling.

Lately, I’ve been perplexed by the launches from renowned houses. This one left me lukewarm and apathetic. It’s not a bad perfume technically and is superior to its counterpart, ‘Queen of Silk,’ which smells more shrill and heavy. This one is pleasant, fragrant, and long-lasting, which isn’t asking for much these days. It’s a composition of rose, a palatable base, and a pinch of cherry that doesn’t smell like cherry. The bottle oscillates between well-cute and coquettish. Let’s forget we’re niche; let’s call it a designer fragrance. And of course, the magic recipe when creativity is lacking: ambroxan and advertising. This is nothing special or original; it doesn’t move the ground or convince anyone. It’s negligence and fickleness. If it were a shelf fruitie at half the price, it would be fine, but it’s like a mainstream 40s hit, repetitive and forgettable. If you have money, like modern roses, and want to make a statement, go ahead. If not, I think there are better options for the price.
In this perfume, the rose has a wonderful dark and powdery touch. To my taste, the cherries (which smell more like raspberries) spoil the ensemble, creating an edge that prevents its potential from being rounded out. In summary: I like the opening a lot, but as it dries down, the cherries are very present, which I don’t like.
I don’t understand why the note is so low. If you’re looking for something demure and girly, look elsewhere because this isn’t it. To wear Carmina, you should be 30+; it’s luxurious, splendid, unique, dense, and fascinating. You need to dress well to shine with it. On my skin, cherry and rose dominate the opening; the cherry isn’t synthetic—it’s juicy, ripe, and realistic. Over time, I notice oud and leather, but it’s not dirty or animalic; it gives a creamy, powdery air. It lasts over 10 hours with a projection of 4-5 hours; it travels with you without tiring the nose. I’m happy to pay every cent. I’m glad it’s not viral to maintain its exclusivity, but I don’t understand how a perfume like this loses merit while others become famous undeservedly.
Carmina is a powerful woman. I love it, but it’s not for everyone; you have to try it to get drunk on it every day. I received compliments from other women who didn’t ask ‘what does it smell like?’ but ‘what are you wearing?’ It smells exquisite. I searched for the cherry, but luckily it’s real, not syrupy. The rose adds elegance, though I admit no rose suits my skin well, but Carmina resonated with me. It’s for a strong, sensual, and sophisticated woman. For me, it’s synonymous with power; it has great projection and longevity; the clothes the next day still carry a delicious scent.
I tested it on skin and initially the cherry dominated, which I liked, but later powdery musk notes emerged that made it feel heavy. It has an enormous sillage that followed me all day, unfortunately. It made me smell like a wealthy lady from the 70s or 80s, well-dressed in a bar, the kind who doesn’t smell like powder—that’s exactly what it smells like.
I tried it on my skin and first the cherry note is noticeable, very predominant, which I liked at first, however, later floral musky notes appeared that gave the perfume heaviness. It has a huge trail; I smelled it all day, but unfortunately. I felt it smelled like a wealthy lady from the 70s-80s, well-dressed in a bar, the kind who doesn’t smell like powder, that’s what it smells like.
I tried it in-store and was instantly captivated, but I regret not wearing it on my skin. The cherry is juicy and ripe without being cloying, and the rose has a modern touch. It feels very original, and I’m dying to know how it smells on me. I’ll try it again to decide because, given the price, I want to be sure.
