What do reviewers say about Carmina and Taif Rose?

Creed doesn't always do modern. But when they reach for cherry and cashmere wood together, something clicks. This isn't a fragrance that plays it safe.Carmina

For anyone who thinks Jo Malone plays it safe. The rose is unapologetic, the coffee grounds add a bitter warmth that stops it from being sweet, and together they make something that actually lingers.Taif Rose
