Hi,

I've got the odds against me but has someone compared Serge Lutens Arabie against ELDO Encens Et Bubblegum? The drydown seems to be very similar. A sweet, alas, an overly sweet incense which comes out a bit flat in the end.

Any suggestions to follow this up by a third fragrance of again strong similarity to both?

'Cuse moy Englich please,

Thank U
