Carmina

Carmina opens with black cherry, saffron and pink pepper, which is what most people notice first. Beneath that is a rose and fig heart that keeps it from going syrupy, and a cashmeran, patchouli and tonka base that lasts well past dinner. It sits closer to the skin than the fruit suggests and does better on a cool evening than a Florida afternoon. Women who like a cherry note without the candy tend to pick this over the sweeter houses.
