Mictecacihuatl Smell-Alike?

[whyhellosims]

I've purchased Mictecacihuatl in the past as it's been available, but now I'm facing the dreaded end of my bottle and not a single purchase offer in sight! I'm not familiar with other scents from BPAL, so could someone point me towards a scent that is very similar, in their experience? Thank you so much!

I have not smelled the initial scent, so I hope that someone who is familiar with it can come in and give you some specific recommendations, but since it looks like you've not explored BPAL much, I took a dive into the review thread (worth taking a look at for people's comparisons, several people even mention scents that they think have things in common): 

 

I'm taking a look through the General Catalog (GC) for scents that you would potentially be able to get as imps and see if you liked them. Hopefully someone more familiar with the scent can give you some specific bottle recommendations from Limited Edition scents that might be easier to find or from the bottle collections that you can't get as imps. The notes of Mictecacihuatl are: Copal, precious woods, South American spices, agave nectar, cigar tobacco, and roses.

 

Some GC scents that might be worth checking out (to be clear, I don't think that these will be scent matches, but that they might be related scents that you might also enjoy based on the notes and reviews for Mictecacihuatl):

• Chimera [Bewitching Brews]: The fiery, volatile scent of cinnamon, thickened by myrrh, honeysuckle, and copal
• Tezcatlipoca [Excolo]: Deep cocoa laced with patchouli, leather armor, ritual incense, and a touch of Xochiquetzal’s flowers (This is mostly in here because I saw it mentioned as an "if you like" in the reviews)
• Tlazolteotl [Excolo]: chapapote and black copal with cacao, black honey, maize, and cotton blossoms
• Xiuhtecuhtli [Excolo]: Copal, plumeria and sweet orange and the smoke of South American incense and crushed jungle blooms
• El Dorado [Wanderlust]: Copal resin incense blowing through halls of dazzling gold (This is likely a simpler scent, but may have some overlap notes, and could end up working in layering to achieve a similar scent)

Good luck on your quest! I hope that someone else is able to come through with some specific recommendations, but hopefully this gives you some direction to explore. If there are specific notes that stand out to you in Mictecacihuatl, it's definitely worth looking them up in the current BPAL catalogue and see if there's anything that they're currently making that has those notes to try out.

Thank you very much! This is certainly a good starting point for me
