Need a replacement for Mama Ji

Recommended Posts

I know why she's gone, and I fully agree with the decision. Mama Ji was part of the American Gods line. The fragrance features spices, cardamom, nutmeg and floral notes.

 

What could replace her? I love Morocco but it turns very powdery on me and kinda, honestly gives me a pain in the back of my throat. Apparently Baghdad was also a close contender but that's gone too!

Hi Ananova, I liked Mama-Ji too. Baghdad Resurrected was not a close match to Mama-Ji for me, so you can probably skip hunting for that.  Harlot and Bengal are the closest GC scents that come to mind, but they aren't super close. Harlot is more flowery than Mama-Ji, and Bengal is sweeter.  Both feature cinnamon more than cardamom.

I saw someone say Dahlia had a similar vibe in the reviews but I found it quite a bit sweeter. Worth trying though because it's great!

I said that ❤️ You're right, it isn't a perfect match, Dahlia has a metric ton of vanilla and Mama Ji is more floral. However I still stand by my opinion that the cardamom note is the same.

 

Does anyone need my nearly empty bottle of Mama Ji? I haven't thrown it out but I've traded away most of my NG scents because thinking of all the love poured into them by BPAL and then the evil of that man makes me beyond sad and blue 😰🩵💙 I've kept a few I couldn't bear to get rid of, but I don't display them and it's bittersweet
