You're not alone, Pesha Rocha.

I, too, get nothing but pure wintergreen - like Wintermint Lifesavers. No cinnamon, no fruits, maybe a hint of woodsiness on the drydown, nothing but pure, light, pale green mint.

I actually quite like wintermint, but I was hoping for the spicy fruity fragrance all those previous reviewers raved about. Maybe I'll try for a new imp in my next order...

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?

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!
