Mine Perfume Lab Carme' EDP

Description

Carmè is saffron and bitter almond over jasmine and tobacco leaf, an elegant, gently spiced woody scent. Released in 2022 by Mine Perfume Lab, the Naples house founded by Massimo Annunziata, it is presented by the house as a tribute to the most important woman in his life, drawn from a cherished memory. A light touch of mint lifts the saffron and bitter almond in the opening. Egyptian jasmine, tobacco leaf and cedar form the heart, and ambergris, musk and woods close it out. It moves from spicy to woody rather than growing sweet.

Scent Character

Translation: woody first, with almond sweetness, saffron spice, fresh mint and jasmine each sharing the rest. That balance is why it feels composed rather than loud.
