Lacoste

[furygrrl]

Even though I adore Lacoste Pour Femme, I would definitely consider replacing it with something from BPAL.

 

Top Notes:

Pepper

Bergamot

Ambrette Seed Oil (Does anyone know what this smells like on its own?)

 

Mid Notes:

Heliotrope

Jasmine

Hibiscus

 

Bottom Notes:

Cedar

Gaiacwood (Again, no clue what this smells like.)

Musk

 

I've searched the BPAL catalogue for similar scents, but nothing's really clicked so far. The only one even semi-close was Fae with three similar notes - Bergamot, Musk, and Heliotrope - however, Fae also sounds incredibly peachy, and Lacoste isn't fruity in the slightest.

 

Is anyone here familiar with Lacoste, and if so, could you recommend a substitute?

 

Or perhaps you're one of those rare folk who can just make a suggestion based on the notes listed?

 

Any thoughts or ideas are definitely appreciated!

You might want to try Grandmother of Ghosts. It has the pepper, woods, and musk in it along with some florals. I think that might be the closest one.

 

Fae was very fruity on me, and not floral at all.

Thanks muchly for the rec - an imp of GoG claimed a coveted spot in my next planned order.

 

Anyone else feel like enabling the newbie?
