The review
On paper, Empress is a reasonable bet if you want Carmina for less.
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.
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
The original opens on bergamot, mandarin and blackcurrant, turns to rose and jasmine, and settles into patchouli, musk and vanilla. That is the brief Empress is working from.
Top
- bergamot

Base

- vanilla
Plush rose and blackcurrant grounded by warm patchouli and vanilla.
