BPAL Combination to smell like the Original (1990) Guess

[303marlena]

This was my favorite scent and the one I always received the most compliments when wearing, but alas, I really cannot afford to spend >$150 per 1.7 oz on an EDT on Ebay

 

Here are the notes, and I am hoping you BPAL geniuses can figure out a combination that will work:

 

Top notes: Mandarin, Grapefruit, Lemon, Jazmin

 

Heart: Vanilla, Lily of the Valley, Hyacinth, Black Currant

 

Base notes: Amber, Orris, Patchouli, Musk (?Civet)

 

 

What I have tried that DID not work: Layering Ave Maria with Versailles or the Raven (violet didn't work with other notes) Rapture with Shroud

Maybe I can try Bastet with Nightgaunt and Suspiro? I may even throw in some Masabakes for the Black Currant...

 

(making notes to try at home!)

 

Thanks, if this works I will only need 4 big bottles (or $60 worth which beats Ebay prices on the perfume anyday! (and lasts longer, although this original had great sillage and wearlength) I will report back...
