The review
On paper, Carmina is a reasonable bet if you want Carmina for less.
Palermo Perfumes 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.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Palermo Perfumes 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 Carmina is working from.
Top
- bergamot
- mandarin
- blackcurrant
Heart
- rose
- jasmine
Base
- patchouli
- musk
- vanilla
Plush rose and blackcurrant grounded by warm patchouli and vanilla.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
