The Scoop

The Poem by Dua captures the citrus-forward opening and delicate floral heart of Carmina quite well, offering a comparable iris and geranium profile. However, the base tends to feel slightly less refined and woody compared to Creed's sophisticated sandalwood-vetiver blend, with a more synthetic musk projection that lacks the creamy depth of the original.

Key Differences

The Poem performs adequately in the top and middle notes but the base lacks the premium feel and longevity of Carmina, with a more noticeable synthetic quality in the dry-down. Sillage and projection are also moderately lighter than the original designer fragrance.
