    Looking for a BPAL that Resembles a Favorite Perfume

    Trying to find something that my mom would like. I know she used Laura for the longest time, once it was hard to find switched to 5th Avenue. Not sure what is her current one... I do know she hates sweet smells, likes floral and more aquatic scents. Hope this is not too little information... Laura by Laura Biagiotti: A fresh top note with peach, lychee and watermelon. A floral middle note with freesia, violet and iris. An ambered woody end note is constructed by sandalwood, vanilla, vetiver, amber and musk. 5th Avenue (Elizabeth Arden): The top notes are lilac, linden blossom, dewy magnolia, mandarin and bergamot. The heart notes are Bulgarian pink violet, ylang-ylang, jasmine, Indian tuberose, peach, carnation and nutmeg. The base is composed of amber, Tibetan musk, sandalwood, iris and vanilla. Help much appreciated.

    Inferno

    In the vial: Smells just like Italian cookie, Amaretto. My mum's favorite, not so much mine. Wet: Still smells like Amaretto... I really wish for cinnamon would come through. No burning. Dry: Amaretto smell slowly dies and I am left with Neroli (?). No cinnamon anywhere... Final thoughts: It is nice however, I don't find myself reaching for it. Maybe I'll want it on for the colder months. Not giving up on it and the staying time is quite good
