Bpal, not Blake

It's been almost 2 years since it was asked, so I'm hoping there is a better answer now. Any matches for Jungle solid conditioner? It was the only scented thing I was wearing yesterday and my husband said I smelled "really good." This from I guy who generally says things like, "you need to test that perfume shit in the bathroom with the fan on so the whole apartment doesn't reek" and recoils in horror when I bring a bag from Lush home. Finding a scent he actually compliments, not just tolerates is huge.

 

Most of the BPAL I have found that is "green" or "grassy" is also floral. That is bad. Particularly "spring florals" as I am allergic to almost everything that grows from a bulb (paperwhites, narcissus, hyacinth in particular) and he is allergic to lilies. Although they don't provoke allergies, I also really dislike jasmine, magnolia, gardenia, carnation, lilac, and lotus.

 

Rose is just about the only floral I like. I have tried "Two, Five and Seven" (roses and grass) but everyone agrees it smells like bubble gum on me.

 

Although Lush doesn't list the notes for the perfume in Jungle (I assume this is where the grassy scent comes from) the other listed ingredients that would contribute to the smell are: figs, banana, passion fruit, kumquat, kiwi, ylang ylang, cypress, and sandalwood.

I can sympathize with you. Jungle is one of my favorite scents in the entire world. There is a website that still carries samples of the lush created limited perfume of it, and lush once did a jungle hand soap as well. I thought both products fell short of capturing the best parts if the scent, which h bizarrely seems to have a comforting waft of McDonalds French fries. Anyway, as far as Blake goes, I tried Manila but found it too sweet and fruity

Machu pichu though has that same tropical greenness of jungle, though it is still not a perfect substitute

I love the scent of Ibiza Party Shampoo: the spicy carnation, citrus, oat-milk combo is to die for. Can anyone recommend a similar BPAL?

I find port au prince to be surprisingly similar

It starts out with almond syrup but then get a cinnamon to it. At first I had spice curls and running to the embassy in mind, bit it occurs to me it is a close relative of Ibiza party
