Creed - Carmina

Creed Carmina is a poetic composition inspired by the grace, confidence, and magnetic presence of a modern woman. This fragrance paints a picture of silk gowns sweeping across marble floors, ruby lipstick, soft laughter, and warm city lights reflecting in her eyes. It feels romantic yet powerful, made for women who command attention effortlessly.

The perfume opens with a juicy, energetic burst of black cherry and saffron, followed by a heart of violet and rose, lush like a bouquet freshly gathered at dawn. Hints of cashmere wood and musk smooth the composition, giving it a plush, velvety dry down that lingers beautifully throughout the day.

Whether worn to an evening gala, an intimate dinner, or everyday elegance, Carmina by Creed is a fragrance that leaves a memory behind.
