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.

Grand Soir is widely praised by the r/fragrance community as an exceptional niche fragrance with a strong opening that develops into a sophisticated amber-vanilla composition. The community strongly recommends sampling before purchasing (MFK offers 6 samples for €14) and notes that while it's not similar to Carlisle, it's a masterfully crafted scent with impressive longevity that many consider a collection essential.
