Creed Carmina, Sample
Carmina by Creed is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women, introduced in 2023. This much acclaimed feminine release from Creed marries the sweetness of black cherry with the warmth of saffron and the subtle spice of pink pepper. The opening is bright and alluring, with the juicy, slightly tart black cherry leading the way, enveloped in the exotic, dry whisper of saffron and a hint of pepper's gentle heat. The initial vibrancy sets the stage for an enchanting, sophisticated journey.
As the fragrance develops, the heart unfolds with a lush bouquet of May rose, peony, and violet, creating a rich, velvety floral tapestry. The soft, powdery embrace of these blooms intertwines with the creamy, woody undertones of cashmere wood, adding depth and a touch of sensuality to the composition. This floral centre is both elegant and inviting, evoking a sense of timeless beauty and grace.
The base notes bring a transformative depth, where the musk's smoothness melds with the resinous warmth of myrrh and the mystical aroma of frankincense. Ambroxan adds a modern, amber-like touch, enhancing the fragrance's longevity and creating an alluring, captivating dry-down. Carmina by Creed is a modern classic, a fragrance of enduring allure that speaks to women of all ages with its resplendent and timeless charm.
