Carmina is a well-received feminine rose fragrance with a beautiful bottle that divides the community primarily on value. While many love its creamy, jammy rose character and report receiving compliments, concerns about weak longevity, high price, and departure from Creed's signature style temper enthusiasm, leading many to seek more affordable alternatives.

The r/fragrance community has overwhelmingly positive feelings toward Delina despite initial skepticism about hype, with many users experiencing a surprising 180-degree change in opinion upon testing. The fragrance is praised for its beautiful fruity-floral profile and longevity, though some find it gives headaches or too generic, and the high retail price drives many to seek dupes or smaller sizes. Multiple community members report it as a gateway niche fragrance that has become a personal favorite.
