Carmina by Creed is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women. This is a new fragrance. Carmina was launched in 2023. Top notes are Black Cherry, Saffron and Pink Pepper; middle notes are May Rose, Peony, Violet and Cashmere Wood; base notes are Musk, Ambroxan, Myrhh and Frankincense.
Embodying the rich legacy of the House of Creed, Carmina draws inspiration from the pages of fashion sketchbooks handed down through the Creed family for generations. It is a fragrance that pays homage to the audacious and spirited women depicted in these sketches, who are always poised for their next escapade. Carmina exudes warmth and sensuality, transporting us on a scented journey to exhilarating destinations. It strikes a contemporary note with the inclusion of black cherry and pink pepper, balanced by the classic scents of violet and subdued rose. A radiant glow emanates from the union of saffron with the softness of musk and amber. This floral-woody creation is enriched with the welcoming embrace of cashmere wood and refined woody notes, giving Carmina its irresistible allure.
In an era when the fragrance industry is dominated by globally advertised fashion and “celebrity” brands, it comes as a refreshing surprise to discover that there still exists a discreet family-owned perfume house dedicated to the creation of highly original fragrances of extravagant quality.
Operating from its luxuriously appointed boutique in Paris’ 8th Arrondissement, the House of Creed was for many years one of the best kept secrets of the perfume world, known to only a few yet patronised by the seriously rich, chic and famous.
From Heads of State to stars from the worlds of film, music and sport, Creed’s client list reads like an international Who’s Who.
Over the years the Creed family has produced over 200 perfumes, all original and hand-made, all testifying to a unique creative spirit that has been passed from father to son through seven generations.
