The review

Libra Genesis Collection French Avenue scores 7.5 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Carmina.

Dupes.se 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.

Strength: eau de parfum, on a par with most originals.

At $63 per 100ml it costs 90% less than Carmina — the 3rd cheapest of 10 twins we can price.

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

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Dupes.se 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

Creed Carmina is bergamot, mandarin and blackcurrant at first, rose and jasmine at its heart and patchouli, musk and vanilla at the end. Dupes.se set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
