About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Launched in 2023, Carmina is a modern Creed composition built on a floral woody musk framework. The opening is vivid and dark-fruited: black cherry and pink pepper spark against a saffron accent, setting a warm, spiced tone before the heart unfolds. There, May rose and peony dominate, their lush petals lifted by violet and grounded by cashmere wood. The rose is unmistakably the star, supported by a soft, powdery floralcy.

In the base, musk and ambroxan provide a clean, skin-like warmth, while myrrh and frankincense add a resinous, incense-tinged depth that lingers. The overall effect is a rose-centric scent with a gourmand-adjacent cherry facet and a smooth, ambery finish. It suits collectors who appreciate a contemporary Creed that bridges fruity-floral and woody-resinous territory. Ideal for evening wear or cooler months, it projects confidence without heaviness. Those who favor classic rose perfumes with a modern twist will find Carmina a compelling addition.
