I got my Carmina a few days ago, and I’m so glad I did. To me, it’s still special and unique enough (despite the traditional combination of notes) to keep in my collection. 🍒🍒🍒
I think I have to agree with you, I think it would make an incredible diffuser scent or candle. It pulls a little nicer on other peoples skin chemistry than mine. I still really like it but preferred it on my husbands skin chemistry
Hayley, can I just say that you are major influence in my fragrance purchases. I guess I’m getting Carmina now. 🤣 The Love in White for Summer did not work out for me. 😢
After seeing your what celebs wear I grabbed angel share and wow this fragrance keeps coming back with more it is exceptional. Will you be reviewing victoria Beckhams new collection ❤
Yes hold onto your hats! Launching this month, the three genderless eau de parfums, £170 each, have been handcrafted by perfumer Jérôme Epinette. “I spent a lot of time with him. I started with the stories and built the fragrances around them.”
I tested Carmina yesterday late afternoon and I can still smell it faintly on my skin this morning. I didnt like the initial smell, but after that it's so beautiful. I didn't expect to like it much.
I discovered your channel not long ago and I have to say that you’ve quickly become one of my go to fragrance UA-camrs. You are so elegant and I love the way you describe the scents. You are doing an amazing job 🥰 I hope you are having a beautiful day! The cap/Lid on Light Speed is stunning. I’m gonna have to get my nose on it just for that alone 😅
Have some experience with a couple of these. Blue Talisman... very much a fruity-feminine Ganymede take in the top. Dries pear/ginger with some floral tones and a mildly rough base I'd say. It was okay. I haven't smelled Lightspeed, but have smelled Boyish and that was quite a boring fresh, spicy iris scent with some woody tones & lemon. I own Ingenious Ginger, I enjoy the wearing experience the most - the wearer will notice it all the time (zero olfactory fatigue), but others won't. One of the best "for me" scents. I got samples on the way for Carmina, Revolucion, new PureDistance, and also managed to hunt down new Sospiro which I've only seen Max Forti talk about. Latest purchase was Xerjoff's "Starlight" which sat on the wishlist for a bit too long, so went and bought it.
Tonkandy from Hermetica is BEAUTIFUL! Received a sample from Twisted Lily and will be purchasing a full size. A Gourmand, but not sickly sweet. Must try for Gourmand lovers!
I have Divine Vanille and it’s gorgeous. I believe it is the same perfumer of PDM Harod. I ordered Bianco Latte it’s on Backorder I can’t wait to get it.
I am in LOVE with Carmina. The price is insanity tho. I'll wait for a deal to buy it bc I need the big bottle. I did just pick up PDM Althaïr, Burberry Goddess and Lionora from the new Mind Games Soulmate collection. It's a gorgeous passionfruit scent. Speaking of ginger, now I have my eye on the new Tutti Twilly from Hermes. It's a gorgeous ginger & litchi scent.
Orom by Bvlgari combines Assam tea and smoothest Oud with the best quality vanilla. It’s designed for men, but some ladies might like it. I am personally crazy about this combo.
I have Devine Vanille and love it. I tested and preordered Altaire from perfumes de Marly - picking it up tomorrow and am so excited. Love at first sniff. I got a sample of Carmina - have sprayed it a couple of times and cannot make up my mind on it. It was definitely not a love at first sniff, not really sure it is a like - as if develops, I find myself liking it but there are facets of it I do not care for. It is a complex fragrance to me for sure and I do not love all its facets., so at that price point I will have to pass on it.
Just got in the DUA. Version of Blue Talisman and OMG it was a love at first sniff. I need BUB stat!! Also I have their version of Carmina, which is spot on to my sample. DUA is killing it with their dupes!! Spot on and so good!! Absolutely stunning!! I have a sample of Queen of Silk on the way and it's already in the works for DUA too!! Cannot wait to get it as well.
Hi Hayley, I really like the opening of “Ingenious Ginger” but then it turns too masculine on my skin and smells like “Vibrato” from Sospiro, which turns out to be too masculine for me as well 😅
I got a sample of divine vanilla when I bought Bois imperiale and I thought it was beautiful but it disappeared on me quick so I’m so confused but also I feel like I have many scents with this profile. If it lasted I would get, essential parfumes is affordable

Ahhhh love this 🥰
I just added Divine Vanille to my collection, also! I think The Musc or Bois Imperial may be my next from the house!
Ooooo lovely. I’ve been hearing so many good reviews on Bois Imperial
I'm considering buying the Blue Talisman - love the vibe 😍
Lightspeed sounds so beautiful! I need to get a sample of this one.
Such a smoooooth oud which makes it very likeable for me
Floraiku is another house I need to get my nose on. I think I'd really enjoy them
I love the house, it has a sophisticated DNA and it’s not too in your face but at the same time super likeable
These are some exciting fragrances to have added to your collection! Amazing video 🤗 💕
Going into Spring in Australia, I've been craving ginger fragrances. Ingenious Ginger, Sakura and Burberry Goddess are just heavenly.
I would love to see more on Lightspeed and their brand
I got Carmina but right now I like spraying it in the air better than on my skin!
I think I have to agree with you, I think it would make an incredible diffuser scent or candle. It pulls a little nicer on other peoples skin chemistry than mine. I still really like it but preferred it on my husbands skin chemistry
Carmina is gorgeous. It’s my first Creed and I’m so very happy with it.
Hayley, can I just say that you are major influence in my fragrance purchases. I guess I’m getting Carmina now. 🤣 The Love in White for Summer did not work out for me. 😢
Love in White isn’t my favourite either. Hopefully you can test Carmina first so it isn’t an expensive blind buy x
I just bough Une Pistache from Obvious and it is soooooo good✨ I highly recommend!

Ohh didn't realize she came out with new fragrances. Interesting.
I did know she had a line of fragrances and now I am super curious

Wow, thank you! That is so kind of you to say.
Floraiku bottles are phenomenal 🤩

Great video! You brought quite a few fragrances which I was already curious to hear someone's opinion on.
Hi Hayley, looking forward to your in depth review of Divine Vanille. Looking forward to testing my upcoming decants of Atomic Rose & Delina
I have Divine Vanille and it’s gorgeous. I believe it is the same perfumer of PDM Harod.
I ordered Bianco Latte it’s on Backorder I can’t wait to get it.
These are some very interesting recommendations, Hayley!
Thank you 🙏🏼

That sounds so lovely
hey,please do a quite luxury category of woman fragrance please🥰
Creed Carmina ist amazing!!

Hello this is Latonya I am watching like always
Thank you 🙏🏼
Hi Hayley, I really like the opening of “Ingenious Ginger” but then it turns too masculine on my skin and smells like “Vibrato” from Sospiro, which turns out to be too masculine for me as well 😅
Ahhhh I can understand that. I like my unisex and masculine leaning scents
pascalebegma2603- That's funny, because the dry down smells like Sun set hour, which is feminine to me
YESSSSS!!! Exactly my thought! In the dry down it's 100% Vibrato which I hate so much. Scrubber. Had to wash it off and I love ginger.
The red lipstick!
❤️❤️

Please do tell love your lipstick shade

Carmina doesn’t last 😢I am so mad I didn’t just get love in white
It lasts on me, at least 7-8 hours with medium projection. It’s not beast mode. That is a shame it didn’t work for you.
Also didn’t last on me but it smells soooo good i might still get it 😢
👍
💞💞💞💞💞
Blue talisman is 🔥🔥🔥 Creed is overrated
Jovoy really interests me 😍 I need to get my nose on their line-up. Remember Me is beautiful, but the only one I've tried.
Fire at Will is incredibly beautiful too for a sweet caramelised vanilla
