“This fragrance is very nice and as a young man I wouldn't mind wearing this, a strong dark cherry and a really dark punch of spices, a floral light saffron and rose and peony create a light, really nice mid that sits over the spices really nicely, when I first sprayed this I thought I could get a nuttiness from the opening alongside the lovely cherry, the spices are really pungent and beware with the initial opening. Carmina lasts a long time and the projection is really loud. I love the bottle and I wouldn't mind a clone of this 🍒😁Longevity is easily over 9 hours!”
“KDJ Inspired sells a decent dupe, but I also own the original that I wore the other day to a job interview to boost my own confidence. To me this is more of a pink pepper and rose perfume than it is a cherry one.I do get a slight soapiness in the drydown but the longevity of this is great. For the most part this stays fresh with a great depth.”
“For a Creed parfum, this is weak. On me it’s a skin scent. And a very average skin scent at that. There’s absolutely nothing special going on here. Certainly not worth the price tag. So many better options in this scent profile with way more longevity and sillage.”

Sillage
The clone matches the top and middle notes reasonably closely but lacks the elegance and staying power of the original's base notes. Venti Carisma also projects slightly less sillage and exhibits a somewhat more linear scent development compared to Carmina's more sophisticated progression.

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.

Sillage
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.
