FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Worth a try. That is where Empress inspired lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Carmina.

Bujairami 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.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Evidence6.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Bujairami publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

What it is chasing: bergamot, mandarin and blackcurrant up top, rose and jasmine in the middle, patchouli, musk and vanilla underneath — the shape of Creed Carmina.
