    What do reviewers say about Carmina and Guilty Crush?

    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
    The lipstick note is what people either love or can't get past. That waxy, powdery cosmetic accord sitting on top of sweet cherry and warm vanilla? It's unusual. But once it clicks, it clicks.Guilty Crush
