Carmina by Creed is a rich, spiced rose built on dark fruit. It opens with black cherry, saffron and a dust of pink pepper, then May rose and peony bloom through cashmere wood and a soft touch of violet. The base settles into musk and frankincense, warmed by amber and a powdery finish. Launched in 2023, it is mainly worn by women, and suits anyone drawn to a fruity rose with real depth rather than something light. Voters reach for it in winter and autumn, mostly at night, and it holds its own at work too. The longevity vote leans long-lasting, while sillage leans moderate. A 3ml decant is enough to wear it through a week of dark evenings before you decide on the bottle.

The community verdict
Carmina brings black cherry and saffron into May Rose, peony and violet, then settles into musk and Myrhh. Wear time divides between long-lasting and moderate; moderate projection draws the largest group, with strong next. It suits winter nights, and autumn works too; its rosy, musky style has a warm edge.
