Ozymandias, for sure! Also Larrea from La Curie perfumes; it has creosote, so perhaps not exactly what you're looking for.

The Phoenix in Summer: The Phoenix soars through a summer thunderstorm: Nepalese amber, galangal, red musk, saffron, ozone, and the scent of hot rain striking pavement. Otherwise I have yet to find any BPAL resembling more of a Western/Southwestern city in this season. But La Curie perfume makes a few good ones.

I'm probably the only person who finds Placophobia comforting in this way! But it truly helps. I also like blends with the "dry/dead leaves" note. Sonnet d'Automne in particular lately.

I used to layer Jolly Roger with Black Pearl during beach vacations! The latter does have a floral note, but I found it was pretty well covered up by the coconut/musk. So perhaps your friend wouldn't mind it? Port Royal may be up their alley, also. It's spicier than the above, but still obviously nautical.

Not exactly the same, but when I combine Juke Joint and Santo Domingo, it gives me a very similar feel as Havana!

Île de la Tortue is one of my absolute favorites. It is relatively easy to find a bottle every now and then, but it would be nice to know if there was/is a similar blend! The notes: "Damp air trapped in limestone caverns, heady greenery, hothouse orchids, nicotiana blossoms, bois de chandel, elemi, palm wine, garambullo, pega-pega, flame of the forest, and a swirl of Haitian vetiver."

No recommendations for Jicky (although I'm as curious as you are), unfortunately, but can I just comment on how fantastic that costume idea is?! Phryne Fisher, inspiration! My kitten is actually named after the character.

I don't think I've seen any inquiries or suggestions for Elizabeth Arden's 5th Avenue. From Fragrantica: "The top notes are lilac, linden blossom, dewy magnolia, mandarin and bergamot. The heart notes are Bulgarian pink violet, ylang-ylang, jasmine, Indian tuberose, peach, carnation and nutmeg. The base is composed of amber, Tibetan musk, sandalwood, iris and vanilla."

Creepy, another Halloweenie! It smells like boozy caramel apples.
