FragDNA score · on paper
The review
Strong contender. That is where Cherry De Carmen lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Carmina.
Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Carmina's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $110 per 100ml it costs 82% less than Carmina — the 6th cheapest of 10 twins we can price.
