Limited editions equivalents in the general catalog?

When your favorite GC blends are discontinued
Forgetful Cordia replied to darklorelei's topic in Recommendations
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.
