Limited editions equivalents in the general catalog?

Another Lilith: You are not alone - what other GC ones are as comforting as this one, if any?

This is about 100 years late but the only GC I can think of with a sweet lavender vibe is TKO. Doesn't have that paperback quality though.

I’m getting rather low on my favorite fragrance “the sun rising” (the 2020 Lupercalia edition). Any ideas on something close to this that’s more readily available in the catalog? I love the jasmine neroli/beeswax/smoke combo going on in this one, and the 2021 version seemed to lose those notes and turn into something different. 

 

 

 

The Lights of Men's Lives from the GC has the beeswax/smoke combo for me, but it doesn't have the floral notes.

Layering The Lights of Men's Lives with Lorelei might be somewhere in the same realm!

Thanks for both of y’all’s suggestions! Super helpful for me. I’ll keep an eye out for those two fragrances.

I loved Pere Noel, any suggestions for a Similar GC?

On Christmas Eve, French children leave shoes filled with carrots by their fireplaces as a treat for Gui, Père Noëls donkey. If the child has been good, Père Noël takes Guis offering and fills the childs shoes with sweet fruits, candies, and small toys.

Bright Sicilian oranges and sweet tangerines with a clink of lavender candy and a drop of anise

I love Pere Noel, but haven't been able to identify anything remotely similar in the GC catalogue. Carnal, maybe, but it's not even close.

Anything similar to Faster Kittycat? I thought it was very nice but today I wore it on a run and the mix of cool down sweat and perfume is like catnip. This is a fragrance that smells even more amazing heated up. Of course I would discover this once the Lilith’s went down. 

 

Bumping this request... anyone?

Possibly Miss Forcible. It's got that classic, high-end, musk vibe, but lacks the mossiness. The only impable general catalog scent I can think of would maybe be Greed. It's got the mossy chypre thing, but it's more hippie than high-end, and leans more gender neutral vs. feminine.

Thank you for weighing in. Sounds like it's really a class of its own but that the two you suggest could take it in different directions.

 

And, to add an LE / GC comparison, Perversion is sweeter and missing the cardamom, but otherwise reminiscent of Cafe Mille et Une Nuits.

Is there anything currently available that's lot like Anactoria?  I am mainly looking for that non-cloying 'white honey' note!
