Searching for a female fragrance, (I have the dupe, but I don't know the original name)

Hello, I'm in love with a unknown scent. I have a sample from it.

It starts with bergamot, at the start, it smells almost like Ck one. Then, after a while, it turns into a "near skin" scent, I can detect vanilla and a marzipan note, a little bit, it smells a bit like Bulgari black now, it's really powdery and soft at the end. I don't have a clue, what it can be? !


I have already tried to match, but I haven't found anything, that can smell so.
The only thing I know, it must be created before the year 2000. And it is NOT a unisex scent. It must be something treasured (back then) perhaps at the 90ies??

Please help me!

you'll have to start with smelling the cKone clones: Paco, dalimix, etc

then if that doesn't work then go bu the "colour aura" of the scent, sometimes it usually does the trick, maybe start with the "white" scents like bvlgari's white tea, and bvlgari's Omnia Crystalline or even dior's Pure poison, and the like (maybe even the likes of ricci's anaïs anaïs) or Noa -original or Perle-

of the ones i mentioned, all have fresh citrus like openings and soft powdery bases.

if that doesn't help then make a search focusing on the top and middle notes you remember the most and start the quest!

Have fun!

thank you !

Yes, I have make a search for top and basenotes, without beeing any farther now. I don't know the middle notes.

Question, is Bvlgari femme soft and powdery on the skin?

It is like a vail, it does not push on.


(sorry for spelling faults)

Bvlgari Femme is soft and powdery, but not vanillic or like marzipan.

I am thinking Cashmere Mist by Donna Karan?
