Avant Ruby vs Carmina

Avant Ruby shares Carmina's cherry-and-pink-pepper opening, with neroli adding freshness. Rose connects the hearts, though violet replaces the saffron emphasis in its description. Raspberry, musk and incense suggest a fruitier, smokier finish alongside Carmina's warm woods and amber.
