I love L'Artisan's Mimosa Pur Moi - is there any similar BPAL scents?

Description:

A reminder of weekends spent on the Riviera amidst mimosa flowers. The fragrance embodies a bouquet of mimosas: the flowers, the leaves & the stem.

Fresh, floral and green, the fragrance is gradually refreshed, never leaving the skin but always emitting a new, silky aura. Mimosa pour Moi will leave you feeling as radiant as the flower itself.

Notes: Mimosa, violet leaves and blackcurrant bud.

Also...

BRUSQUE VIOLET (Violet petal, violet leaf, osmanthus, orris, mint, and opoponax.)

From GC Mad Tea Party

`I never saw anybody that looked stupider,' a Violet said, so suddenly, that Alice quite jumped; for it hadn't spoken before.

`Hold your tongue!' cried the Tiger-lily. `As if you ever saw anybody! You keep your head under the leaves, and snore away there, till you know no more what's going on in the world, that if you were a bud!'

The best apple scent/s (esp. crispy green or sweet red) by BPAL in your opinion?

 

I think I've only tried one (Snow, Glass, Apples) and I liked it - however I disagree with Mr Gaiman on his "smells like sexy vampires" quote on it.

Harvest Moon (“spiced apple booze”) NOTE: 2005 version has stronger apple scent than 2006?

Fearful Pleasure

Jack

Nowere in Particular

Poisoned Apple (“ a heavier, sexier take on apple with floral and smoke”)

Sugar-slathered candied Apple

Voodoo oil: Blockbuster

Xanthe the…

Lilith -- it is an utterly sexy feminine scent. It does have powdery notes on me but still the most gorgeous scent. The wine and myrrh and rose make it seem right for a sexy vampire.

Lilith is considered an early vampire and an origin for the myth!

Has anyone mentioned Desdemona? That's a violet scent.
