The Scoop
Avant Ruby captures the fresh citrus opening and floral heart of Carmina reasonably well, with comparable bergamot brightness and iris softness. However, the base lacks the depth and longevity of the original, with a noticeably shorter dry-down and less refined sandalwood-vetiver blend that can feel slightly synthetic in comparison.
Key Differences
Avant Ruby performs adequately in the top and middle stages but falls short on longevity and base development compared to Creed's original formulation. The clone also exhibits slightly less sillage and projection throughout its wear time.
