Libra

Omgosh this is bloody fab!!! An irresponsible blind buy purely based on my star sign but has paid off. This is a (slightly) cherry-juicy, accessible amber with a sprinkling of saffron and a hint of violet. Accessible in that it is easy to wear with a rich warmth without being too complicated. It’s not overly heavy or sweet. Elegant and lovely to wear - I look forward to spritzing it on despite my large and mostly niche collection. French Avenue have been nailing it lately!

Nose Note #729 Smells exactly like a sum of cherry, violet and myrrh!!! It has some nice fresh cherry sourness to it, but only slight. It may also come across as a red apple. Definitely a feminine scent. More mature. Nothing synthetic or cheap about it whatsoever. Smells like almost photorealistic cherry and violet. May not be the most crowd-pleasing and popular scent. It's more for a person that's educated in perfumery. Very strong. 7.8/10, not for boys

I dont enjoy carmina at all but this one i kinda like I get a smoky cherry with some roses and amber. Might be too smoky or heavy on saffron on the opening but the dry down - as always - turns out nice on skin.

To my nose this is extremely close to Mojave Ghost by Byredo. Opens with a sweet, slightly sour cherry swimming in shampoo. As it dries, the musky amber comes forward. Very feminine. I don’t think the “main accords” listed for this one are close at all. It is synthetic but it doesn’t scream in binary. ETA: Started using this as my car freshener. Lasts forever and doesn't cling to you when you get out

I think the information here is a little bit misleading. All I got is fruity and some floral notes, nothing warm, nothing deep. This fragrance reminds me of teenagers perfume like DKNY Red Delicious. I hope macerating might help but it’s absolutely not my fav now. Anyway, it does projects pretty well.

If this is what Carmina smells like, yuck. My best description is the hand soap of the shopping centre bathroom. Another middle eastern rubbish.

the quality on this is INSANE 10/10 LIKE MY JAW IS ON THE FLOOR :OO this entire collection ! before the cherry becomes prominent and dominant, you can literally distinguish the notes and their dance the quality is so high ! how is this boadicea the victorious , but better ! more definite boadicea is is a 4/10 in strenght how is this also similar to carolina herrera elixir but with less bitterness and no chocolate , which is a 12/10 in strenght this reminds me of both, but in the middle OMG what have they done amazing this is a lady who wants to be the center of attention

First spray, no maturation: I basically got a brighter Tom Ford Lost Cherry without any booziness found in Lost Cherry. Just a bright feminine cherry scent with a very subtle myrrh, akin to cardboard, in the background. No rose, no saffron, no violet, no incense. Summer and high-heat summer appropriate. Completely feminine. I assume the scent will change. Will await maturation and update. 1-Week Update: It's the same. It's nice but Lost Cherry and the Maison Alhambra Lost Cherry clone are better, and make this redundant. Will wait for more maturation.

i feel like claiming any perfume for libra without having at least one gourmand note is false advertising
