Forgetful Cordia

When it was first released, many people drew comparisons between The Atrocious Attic and Antique Lace! I remember the Attic smelled more floral (and it has rose in it, which isn't a good note for me), but it did have the underpinnings of AL.

I'm a bit late here, but I felt like Tamora (Amber, heliotrope, golden sandalwood, peach blossom and vanilla bean)was a fantastic scent in that vein. You might also try Katharina (white musk with a trickle of bright, sharp apricot and orange blossom), despite the lack of amber. I had to get rid of my Tamora when amber started going powdery on my skin, and found Katharina to be a pleasing substitute.
